In queue now on behemoth with 1683 others.

Jenova bit it too. Only one dude in my FC is online through sheer luck

I think the frequent server downtime is the only thing where FF14 is lagging behind the competition. I remember these issues being here when I 1st started playing many years ago. Stopped for few years, came back to the same server issues =(

Crystal Data Center, Mateus Server...can't even connect to Data Center. 2002 error about 30 seconds after trying to connect. Feels like a DDoS attack.

Exact same thing happened to me on Siren (Aether). Can't connect to the server and keep getting 2002 error = . =

Honestly? I'm surprised we've had as much up time as we have. The servers have been under extreme stress from the minute early access went live, and have only went down because of outside forces out of SE's control. This could be the same thing happening, or it could also be the servers finally giving up the ghost.

Same on Zalera, was about to finish my random trial =(

It's the holiday tomorrow and I guess everyone is logging on for their marathon. These wheelchair servers of FFXI couldn't handle the load.

Also in a queue of like a 1,000! and for some reason my screen says it cannot obtain character data?

Yeah, only experience this once before when early access went up. Square said it was a DDOS attack. FFXIV have been attacked before, i remember back in 2.0. Apparently popular games are targets for attacks.
