Can't log character in

Not all internet connectivity problems are SE's fault. There are several routers your message needs to pass through, and a lot of us pass through similar routers when connecting to FFXI. If one of those routers along the way experiences bandwidth issues, or any number of technical problems I can't begin to comprehend, everyone trying to send a signal through it will suffer the consequences.

Now if EVERYONE was having difficulties connecting to FFXI, that would (most likely) be SE's fault, and something they need to fix. I had a few problems myself a few days ago, but they cleared up shortly afterwards and never came back. None of my LS mates had any connection difficulty at all.

If the problem is being caused by routers that SE doesn't own, there's really nothing they can do.


Edit: Nothing they can do except tell the player base they are aware of the issue and it is being caused by something beyond their own control.
