'World data could not be obtained' - What in the world is going on?

My game dc'd about 10 minutes ago and I can't seem to get back in due to a error.

At first I couldn't even get to character screen. But after a few tries, I went the 'long' way by selecting my Data Center first and selecting my account. Then now I'm in the Character Screen; now I get the error as stated in title.

Last thing I remember before DC'ing was that the PF was empty (probably caused by whatever was happening), them boom dc.

Could the DDoS be affecting XIV servers as a whole now?

I think Gilgamesh just went down. There's a group of 7 of us in a call and we all d/c'd roughly at the same time. A couple of us were doing T-T HM, so we're just blaming Edda.

She won and she won good.

wouldn't be surprised if Square was the next company to be targeted by this series of ddos attacks going on today. NOTE: no confirmation on it but apparently the servers are still up, we just cannot connect to them.

Edit: It's not just Gilgamesh, it's the data centers.

Confirmed Gilgamesh is down for me too(error 1014). Would need more reports to know if its only Gilga or Aether datacenter.

I have a 2nd character I made at release on Gaia//Valefor and no login issues there

Same problem here, also Gilgamesh :S

weird. I'm on Gilgamesh too, but I can't even connect to the data centers atm.

Is it just me, or is everyone with this problem only Gilgamesh players?

Ah I posted mine before I refreshed this forum. I too have gotten this just now and I am from Gilga. :<

Seems to be Gilgamesh only, in the other thread, we're also all from Gilgamesh

There's a reddit post on the issue. There are a couple of people from other servers, but I'd say about 90% of the people commenting on this error are from Gilg.
