Tried Coming Back... nope

Well, I tried coming back.

This weekend marks nearly 7 months since I stopped playing and it was due to the issues mentioned here.

7 Months later, and they are still happening. Why are these: "Connection to the server lost 90000" errors still persisting after nearly a year of the game launch?

I play damn near every day, and this is...rare. 90k is an error that shows any time you disconnect for any reason, whether your internet OR the server or anything else like that. Yes, server-side problems still happen, but I haven't seen it once today, personally, and the only other time I can think of running into trouble recently was a short period yesterday, probably due to the huge influx of players from the welcome back campaign. It's definitely not a normal thing, or common by any stretch, unless it's client-side.

As for the other issues in your original post, if those are still relevant: 2.3 all but broke the RMT spam system by limiting tells, so you get one very, very rarely now, and you can clear your blacklist every day or every other day without having to worry about getting more tells. They don't last long.

Maintenance actually runs from 2-6 am EST most of the time, so they try to do it when it's MOST convenient for American players, actually.

Haven't got 90k'd in months. Maybe your connection just sucks?

I got a couple 90k errors this weekend, too. Don't tell people their connection sucks when it's much more likely the servers are stressed from the free weekend.

It's you, if your router or ISP throttles you, you will get the 90k

It is very rare I get it at all I bought a new router and the problem vanished the only time I ever get a 90k is when SE does a update.

Never ever in my entire life have I played a game with worse connectivity than FF14. I get at LEAST 3 90k's per day, not to mention the 2002 lobby errors that automatically terminate the game. According to SE it's something to do with my ISP, but I call bullocks on that.

These horrible servers won't keep me from playing, though.

If your connection to servers is so bad, you cannot blame others for that.
I'm sad you cannot play this great game, but at least be happy that you had a free opportunity to test if the game gone viable for play on your location/ISP provider setup.

In case you will change ISP or whatever else makes your connection so unreliable, I hope you will have in future new opportunities to check again with us.

Have fun!

2002 is literally a player side connection error, though.

I don't see where you get to call bullocks on that. There are known infrastructure errors with the gateway between US clients and the Montreal-based servers. Also there's the fact that very few players actually have this, which makes it even more likely that it's a problem either with your hardware or with the hardware that carries your signals to and from the servers.

Just calling out. 6 straight months on Midgard, PS4 (Michigan based) only once have I been DQ'd.

I am on one of the most populated NA servers and have not gotten one of these for a few months. Also, I do hunts and see other people disconnect and still don't have an issue. Sounds like you need a better connection.

Going to go ahead and agree here, I play every day, multiple hours per day. In the last 30 days I'd say maybe 1 90k to report.

meh i only have connection issues once in a blue moon , its annoying not because u are kicked , because it takes like 10 min to log in again >.>

Another thread where someone clearly doesn't have any understanding of how the internet works and instead blames the game in their ignorance. You can't fix people who refuse to try and understand the problem. They just want to point a finger and place blame.

Peering networks deficiencies in the US have been in the news quite often in the last few months. This is but a symptom of that problem.

People really should start thinking, when they see, almost no one else is having this problem.

Im playing at least 7 hours a day, and so far i only had one day, where it 90ked me 2 times in a row, and im still not sure if its the fault of SE or my internet provider.
I Also do get 90k, when my 24hrs disconnect happens, so its not really a proof that its a server side error.

Lol OP, don't you think maybe it's your ISP at this point? I RARELY get 90k'd anymore. And if I do, it's usually around like 12-1am where for some reason AT&T found it necessary to allow my internet to go out for like 5 minutes every now and then. As if it's some kind of routine reset or something.

Because whenever YOU lose connection to the servers, that's the error message, just like "404 Page Not Found" still exists to this date despite being around since at least 1995.

Hello! (fellow Michagander)

Had some 90ks this weekend, too. Turned out it was Comcast and my modem going nuts. Could access web pages, etc. just fine (albeit slowly) but the launcher just would not do anything.

tee hee

Sometimes the 90000 errors happen from server stress, which is much more common shortly after a major patch and during free login weekends (for obvious reasons). Sort of ironic that they try to get people to enjoy the new content and get them to come back, but in doing so they over stress their servers and make all the wayward players think that the infrastructure is crap. I had more connectivity problems over the past weekend than the past 2 or 3 months combined, though I know at least some of it was TWC as one or two times my internet connection fizzled to a few Kb/s for minutes at a time.

TWC!? You must be from the Northeast US ;p

EDIT: nevermind TWC is Country wide, I was thinking something else

I had no problems months back with Comcast...

I hard ever any 90k nut Saturday I got disconnected like 3 times but that had to do with to many people in a zone because of hunts.

Outside of launch week I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've been d/ced with a 90k error that due to server-side issues.

I played all weekend on Balmung - one of the busiest servers - and didn't get d/ced once except for when my router crapped out once on Saturday. Two of my friends got d/ced when they were in private rooms on Friday, but that was the only complaint about server-side disconnections that I had heard all weekend.

I can understand why 90k would be an issue for you, OP, and why you'd stop playing because of it, but I really doubt that the issue is server-side.

I rarely get 90k. In fact, the last time it had happened to me was around the 2.3 patch (which was taken care of by a maintenance).

Now Saturday I did have some lag issues, but I was able to determine that was because I had a Twitch.tv broadcaster on in the background.

But there still remains connection issues between ISPs and the data center in Montreal. And, while I've had Comcast & SE tell me it's not their end, I've come to the conclusion that it's in between and out of their hands, and it's that L3 company (that has a notorious reputation).
