Lag Spike?

Welp, that's three times in a row for Behemoth now...

Brynhildr is crashing too. The whole fate parties in Coerthas crashed, my party inside Tam Tara hard and a few FCs crashed. Now I can't get back because lobby server is crashing too.

Diabolos has crashed and burned. 5006 error...blah.

Going by the posts in this thread, it's across all servers and not limited to a specific region. As such...I'm done with FF14 for tonight =)

I see what you did there.

+1 :p

Myself and one other survived the disconnects in ST.

This is the exact example of why you don't centralize all of your servers in the same location.

This is the same exact thing as if I were to wire a control system (electrical engineering btw).. and I put all brakers for the motors on the same bus line and it just so happens the power goes down, THEY ALL GO DOWN. This is why you alternate motors on different bus lines (or alternate servers in different locations so you can have some kind of up time and security).

If they don't realize soon that centralizing all these servers in the same location is a bad thing for the future of this game, then nothing can save them. With 2 million people subbed, if they all happened to sign on at the same time the network would bottleneck. Server hardware may be more than capable of handling it, but think about trying to force 2 million connections all to the same location (ISP routing would take a shit, hence why a lot of us lag in dungeons and 90k for no reason and drop packets)..

Lobby is still down. 5006 Error

God don't do that! They will invoke Net Neutrality and try to charge SE or the individual subscribers and arm and a leg for a fix.

What a bunch of useless fearmongering.

Not necessarily, American capitalists always like using cheap slave labor for jacked up prices and unreliable service.
