Servers down

What he said ^

Booted from game and can't login via launcher.

450 people in the queue ahead of me.

Got kicked out in the middle of trying to farm Eden's Promise card.

Thanks Squeenix! You really don't want me to have that god damned card mount, do you!?

All of NA went down.

Servers didn't actually crash. Queues aren't big enough for that.

More likely a node in the network pipeline somewhere outside the physical data center failed and a bunch of people (including me) lost connection.

If the servers had actually crashed, they wouldn't be back up already, and we wouldn't be logging in. This is 100% a networking issue somewhere. An even bigger pointer to that is it effected all 3 logical datacenters for NA. a server crash that hit every single DC and hundreds of physical servers would be incredibly unrealistic.

From the sounds of it, my entire static got disconnected and we live in various countries/states in NA. From Alaska, canada, midwest. Must've been a far reaching pipe.

Was waiting for this thread rofl

You'd be surprised. NA backbone is owned by like 2 companies. It was likely a node close to the data center but not in it. One of my friends didn't get DC'd and hes in Florida.

The servers are all in one physical location, so even if you aren't from the same area geographically, its entirely possible you get routed through the same node at some point before it hits the data center.

Logged in through launcher but queue is now at 1000+ for a server that typically has no queue or a very small queue. I wonder what caused the servers to go down like that.

same situation on here, I was in line with 1350 ahead of me

OK I'm glad I'm not the only one I guess. I had just got in a msq roulette on my tank job with a party that said they were stuck for a while without a tank, right before I pull the boss I get DC'd =[. I guess here's hoping that they got DC'd also so they're not waiting on me or another tank when half the the sever got kicked =/
