Your Character is Already Logged In Woes

90k = The error code, that's nothing special to MMORPG. The issues, which confirmed by SE and even other companies were with providers like Level3.net and Sky, not the game specifically. Also, if your net works "flawlessly" then you don't understand how it works - internet is never flawless, especially in the states and europe which has some of the oldest architecture lol.

How did I imply the internet in its entirety is flawless? I'm saying at the time of a 90k, a person's connection otherwise can be just fine.

I think everyone can agree hacking is a problem. Fortunately, it's not a prevalent issue in FF14, in no small part because of security improvements between now and the FF11 era. For those continuing to have trouble with it, there are ways other than extended auto-log to handle it.

Lunami was referring to situations where the server disconnects a character, as was so prevalent in the era before SE changed weekly reset to Tuesdays at 1am. It does still happen, but less frequently, and impacting entire groups less often. Unfortunately, it's still not uncommon to wait five, or even ten minutes for your teammate's character to log off so he can log back in.

To those who insist there's nothing wrong with this system: how would you feel if you saw a drop you had been running months trying to get, disconnected, and were unable to log back in before the chest timer expired because your character was still online?

Why don't you fix your internet instead and you wont have this problem. In all seriousness, how do you expect them to FIX this problem? You clearly know nothing about networking or how this issue even exists, so I'll just say this.

It's not going to get fixed.

Here come the white knights to praise the finest MMO in the history of the genre.

Yet another day where I get to d/c in the middle of an instance while my internet continues unabated. . .

And I bet you go through sky or Level3.net to reach SE's servers.

It's not even really the d/c that annoys me. It's their atrocious system for logging back in. If I could log back in within ~10 seconds like I could on other games, I'd barely even blink at the d/c itself. Instead, I get to wait some random, arbitrary amount of time and pray that it lets me reconnect.

So, those of you claiming it's purely the internet connection? Yeah, whatever.

The 90k's are not always related to internet connection. If it were, then everyone using the same connection would potentially suffer 90k's at the same time, or at least would see lag or other connection difficulties when others on that connection were experiencing 90k's. This does not happen.

Also, what on earth is your problem with making adjustments to the log-in process to help fix this issue? They could do something as simple as require you to enter your 1-time password or something when you try to log in and it detects you're already connected.

Actually your first reply/post was worded in such a way that it could be construed that you said the exact opposite of what you meant. Sarcasm ftw, eh?
