SE, I hope you are able to come up with a method to stop the attacks.

Because you can just flip a switch, right.

The nature of a DDOS attack makes it incredibly difficult to prevent. The only guaranteed way to stop it is to block ALL incoming traffic, but that kills your legit connections too. And then it just starts back up again once the block is lifted.

Time to upgrade your hardware, SE. Good luck

>< Not as easy as you are making it sound. They are clearly doing anything and everything they can to solve this issue.

That's not how you fix DDoS attacks. Not at all.

What I don't understand is why anyone would target XIV. The population of the game is not as vast as other games that have been targeted. Can 1 person jaded by square conduct such an attack?

I'm expecting Poetics in my Moogle Box if this takes too long. :<

Don't hold your breath on compensation. That said, awful suspicious that the attacks coincide with the 2.41 launch. I'm thinking it's some script kiddy try-hards who are angry at the easing of Second Coil. Guess they really are butt-hurt over losing their 'precious' exclusivity.

Yup, my bets are on Blizzard too haha
