Zoned into Meriph. Mountains (S). Got booted, Can't log back in main character.

[Karbuncle]

Details:
I zoned into Meriph. Mountains (S) on my Main Character, Karbuncle, and was disconnected while zoning. I stayed logged in (according to a friend I was in a party with) for quite some time, so I logged into my mule and it booted my main. Can log into my mule just fine, but my main character is completely unable to log in.

Steps:
1 ) Attempt to Log in to Main Character
2 ) Get stuck in Loading Screen
3 ) Error message: Unable to contact server (or some such other)
4 ) Try again, "Same character is already logged in"

Date & Time:
7:19PM

Frequency:
1. Always as of now.

Platform:
PC

PC Manufacturer & Model Number:
I Don't know, its an ASUS.

Operating System:
Windows 9.

Graphics Card:
Don't know.

ISP:
Charter.

Type of Internet Connection:
DSL?

Additional Info:
I've completely shut down the game and tried to log in from scratch, still getting the same error. Connection Timed out.

Seriously its cycling between "Connection Timed Out", "Same Character already logged in" and "Unable to connect to lobby server".

Edit: Full reset of Modem and PC Did not solve the issue. Alt Character on same account still able to log in fine.

Edit2: Went ahead and submitted a ticket from my alt character. See where that goes.
Edit3: Told me to contact Technical support.

Can you access the area fine with another character? If you can then it's a server problem, but if you don't there is a chance your install may be corrupt and causing an error when the area tries to load.


Edit > Another solution would be for someone from your LS to try and MPK you so you die and get HP'd as a temporary measure. There should be a NM or two you can bring to the zone entrance I hope.

My mule does not have access to (S) zones so I can't check. But I've passed through that area before today. God help me If I have to reinstall this game for the fourth time I'll be a little upset

Then MPK it is.

Then MPK it is.

Running a file check so maybe it'll pick it up if theres something wrong.

All i wanted to do was enjoy the Campaign Campaign ._.;

Not a bad idea tbh... trying to remember what NMs could murder me in that zone, I'm sure theres a few...

Filecheck found no problems... Was kind of hoping it would so I could at least have an answer. But nope... Now my only option is hoping a GM helps me... and I'm not entirely positive Forum GMs and FFXI online support GMs are 24 hours like in game ones.

K so now i'm a bit more on the angry side. I decided to log back onto to my mule to try and see if I could zone into Meriph (S), and my mule logged in, in mog Garden.

Exited to Adoulin, worked fine
Teleported to Jeuno, worked fine.
Zoned into Rolanberry fields, Disconnected like main character, unable to access this character now.

So now both of my characters are receiving Error Code: FFXI-3001 when trying to log in. I'm trying not to be pushy but now I'm completely locked out of the game on both characters because apparently zoning into a non-town area is crashing my game. This is an issue I've never had before of have even heard of... File Check came up nothing, once again, and it was working perfectly fine the last couple weeks. What the actual sh*t ._.

Edit: I Guess its important to add, my brother who is living with me using the exact same connection I am is having no issues what-so-ever.

Are you using a wireless connection? You could you try using an ethernet cable and see if it changes anything. Otherwise clean reinstall would be the next step imo. Just make sure you download the client from the site and update it normally. Better not rewrite with your older files just in case.

PS > Just don't forget to backup your macros from the character screen.

Attempted both Wireless and Wired, I normally run on wired. Since I've been exploring these zones without issue for the past two weeks since I came back, i'm going to wait til morning before I start deleting files... perhaps the issue will have resolved itself by then or a GM will have assisted me. Was a huge ordeal getting the game installed during the Free log-in thanks to some bad directing and such from Steam, the thought of going through it all again is enough to make me wanna stab someone.

Definitely saving my macros if i decide to go that route though...
