Unable to log in on one character.

I am also getting this issue with both of my main characters (3001 error), GM says he cant do anything about it.
Ive also tried to log into these characters on multiple PCs. Anyone have a fix yet, I'm paying for 2 accounts I cant use.

I would just like to point out that this is not an issue with my PCs or router, I have tried 3 PCs, multiple routers, and 2 different networks. I can still log into mules on both accounts I just time out on my 2 characters that are having this issue, regardless of where I am playing.
This is obviously on SE's end, not ours.

Sorry, I just noticed the thread, so I will copy-paste my similar issue here.

Over the past month or so, a few zones I try to enter result in getting stuck at the "downloading data" screen, and eventually time out into an Error-3001. I try to log back onto the same character immediately, and again it won't pass the black "downloading data" screen. I log on another character, and they are fine, unless I try to zone into the same exact area as the first character.

It started out with Yahse Hunting Grounds. A friend who also plays had to log onto my character to move him out of the zone, before I could successfully log on him. Then several days later, it happened again in Port Windurst. Then eventually Qufim Island. And just today, it happened in Buburimu Peninsula.

I worry that whatever is happening, it will affect more and more areas, until I can barely play at all. I have tried "Check Files" multiple times, and nothing is corrupted, neither with my PlayOnline Viewer nor my Final Fantasy XI data.

I don't know what to do anymore, besides reinstalling completely. But if none of my files are corrupt, would a reinstall even help at all?

It seems to be connected to either the computer or the modem/IP/router, since a friend out of state can log on my character and move him out of the affected area, whilst I can't zone any characters at all through the same area.
