Lusavari,

We’d like to apologize for the problems you are experiencing. Based on your description of the problem there may be something related to your connection causing this issue. Many MMORPG’s problems which are specific to characters, in certain zones are caused by some communication issue between your client and the game server. This could be either some specific program on your computer blocking inbound communication from the game server, such as an anti-virus or firewall or something related to your connectivity hardware i.e. router, switches or hybrid modems. Anti-virus programs and firewalls are there to protect your system against attacks and they will scan/monitor incoming data packets possibly filtering or removing them completely. Many routers and hybrid modems will also block inbound communication and as a result these things can interfere with your online game-play.

We would suggest trying to temporarily disable these programs and testing the problem again and also if you are connecting to a wireless network; try hardwiring your connection directly to the modem, if at all possible, to troubleshoot the problem.

However, if you feel have exhausted all of our live and online support recommendations, and if you feel that you are experiencing a bug with the game, then the matter should be brought to the attention of the Development Team by submitting a bug report via the support center: Please submit bug report on FINAL FANTASY XIV here.

We thank you for your continued support despite these troubles.

I've already attempted disabling the firewall and Antivirus as well as attempted logins from multiple locations and computers so as to bypass any problems that may come from my router and modem. I will support the bug report at the suggested location.

Thank you.

daily bump... and wow i guess they didnt read you post, casue you said you did everything they asked ; ; oh we'll keep trying!

[Lusavari]

Well. At least we're getting somewhere. I think by SE regulations they HAVE to state all that stuff. He did include a bug report form [that's not the forums] to move to the next step at least. But still... It reaches a point where this is OBVIOUSLY not my side of the equation. Even if they don't like it, I wanted to make SURE it wasn't me and asked my friend in Canada to try a login attempt, and he had the same problem persisting exactly as I've been stating it; I can't log in with my main characters, everyone else works. If I can't login from my house at home, my school in Michigan, or in Canada... It's not my modem, router, or firewall (especially since I've tried my desktop, laptop, and now my friend's computer in Canada.)

The first E-mail form I sent in had me do everything he listed though.... That was back in May.

[DoomCky]

One day this will be all over!

and daily bump!

Bump for Great Justice!! (I'm sure there's other people out there who may find the same problem come 2.0 launch....)

And for the record, even after this most recent update, the login issue persists as is. No change.
