I've had problems like this all month. First time was when I tried to go into Temple of Uggelipah; all other characters could log in but not that one. I was forced to uninstall the entire game and reinstall and wait....8 hrs for the patch..ugh. It fixed it. Then I had this happen again when I tried to enter Kuftal Tunnel today; all other characters could log in but not that one. It did not resolve itself after an hour of waiting. I did check files for pol and ffxi both times this error has happened and it said "Found no problems." So I am going to uninstall the entire game and reinstall the entire game again. Honestly if this keeps up I'll have to discontinue service, I can't keep uninstalling and reinstalling the entire game every time there is an error every few days at random. That's like a 12hr ordeal every single time to uninstall game (1hr) download game (4 hour) install game (1 hr) and update 6-8 hrs, so 12-14hrs. Then I have to re-set all my configuration stuff...which is like another hour. Oh and all those tips you just gave us Camate are not helping at all. I tried all those both times and the issue still continues. Am I supposed to not zone into another area ever again for fear of getting 3001'd or just instant crash? How can I continue to play this game like this? It seems like it's just one single zone at random, and if you happen to stumble across that single "bad zone" on your adventures, you're sol and should uninstall/reinstall immediately >.<. Sadly that's the only 100% "working" solution at this time. Of course should the zone right next to you be the bad zone after you reinstall you'll probably have to uninstall/reinstall again immediatelySomething's broke SE, pls fix it!
I have a suggestion SE, on the character select screen, just simply add a button called "Stuck Character" that teleports you to a random starter city (incase the "bad zone" IS the starter city) (honestly I don't care where, just warp me anywhere). That way there is a simple temporary fix to get unstuck until you can figure out the problem because it's already been a full month and there is no real solution yet...you're still telling us to unplug our routers and it has nothing to do with routers. This would also prevent any further issues in the future like this from preventing gameplay. Cuz while I would like to go to kuftal tunnel and finish my af quest, i'd rather be able to play the rest of the game and just deal with not going there.
