• • Am i doing something wrong?

  • Hi,

    Still not able to get into the game due to error 3001 so have decided to uninstall it all then start again from fresh. I noticed that the game is 8.30gb and ALL of the expansions are the same, is this game really that big? 46.5gb does seem very big for a game . I also managed to uninstall all of the expansions but uninstalling the main game has taken in excess of an hour so far and i have less than 10% uninstalled so far, I went into remove programs and uninstalled that way, i still have the POL installed but will uninstall that once the main game has gone. It seems a long time to uninstall something, again am i doing something wrong?

    One last thing is there anything i need to DL if playing this game in vista?

• • error 3001, is this an AoL issue?

  • This is part of the  doc they sent

    • Has the router been properly configured to play the game? (You can verify how to use the firewall with the manufacturer, we can give you the port range. Please see below)

    Port numbers that may be used by the PlayOnline server group.

     

    ·          TCP 25,80,110,443 and from 50000 to 65535

    ·          UDP from 50000 to 65535

     

     

     

    As you can see it clearly states they use port 25, seems strange to me also.  I can post the whole doc if anyone would like to see it.

    I have just received my mac code from AOL and will be switching over to Tiscali, takes between 10 - 15 days i believe.

    Cya all in game soon   (I hope).

    a close second???

     

    Umm...pardon,.... but I really dont think DNL was ever anywhere close to a"game"..........

    Sidenote:

    Zorv!! where ya at sweetie?? wanna play whichja!! hehehe

    
     

    Lets put it this way, if DnL was 3-Mile Island, then Mourning was Chyrnobl. 

    You obviously never played Mourning after it released to the pubic.  DnL was a game, if even for a short time.  They released Mourning before there were any skills for the players to use.  The fact that there i still something to "play" makes it a thousand times more successful than Mourning. 

    To put it another way.... if DnL was Britany Spears, then Mourning was Michael Vick.....

     

     

    I cant believe what this game has finally done to us. It has got us comparing one pile of crap with another pile of crap.

     

    Damn we are in BIG BIG trouble

• • error 3001, is this an AoL issue?

  • I have just purchased FFxi 2008 pack for all of the expansions (on the pc). I have had no luck at all being to get into the game. I keep on getting the error 3001 message.

    I have contacted POL regarding this and they sent me a document to read and have suggested that it is my router that is blocking some parts and stopping me from entering the game.

    One of the things it mentions in the document is that various ports should be opened and one of them is port 25. now this is where the problem starts, AOL UK in its infinate wisdom has closed down port 25 to all users citing security issues as the reason, my netgear router does not have port forwarding in it so I therefore struggle to get into the game. I have spoken in length to netgear who say it is an ISP issue, The person I spoke to at AOL UK  asked if i could receive e-mails from my AOL account, apparently he thought that if I could then port 25 could not possibly be closed.

    I would be interested to see if any other AOL UK users have had this problem and if so how did they overcome it?, I have asked how to get around it at POL but all they would say is that it is a connection issue and therefore not there problem.

    Many thx
