These server issues have been going on for hours now, has there been no official word yet? It's pretty disheartening.

They have made an announcement that it's an upstream provider issue, which is about all they can do.

True, when was the last time STL had tornado? Dallas might be good spot? Who knows! Minneapolis could be safer bet. /shrug

Dallas, Houston, and Austin are pretty decent choices as well. I think one thing that made St. Louis so popular is its central location and possibly lower corporate taxes in comparison to other cities.

Or Denver. Considering 5k ft altitude. As they call it, mile-high city.



Also... I am still logged in. No DC for me for last 20 mins. Dunno why others has still issues.

I truly love this game but all the d/cing and error is hard to enjoy, i think SE should give people something for all this frustration ,I mean we paid to enjoy a game and it's being near to impossible to play lately, The d/cing is to the point i want to play ff14 , but i am starting to just play other things while waiting to play ff14. Please SE fix this problem

Essentially.



Unfortunately, Level3 is a pretty big Internet backbone for the majority of the US, and redirects a lot of the Internet traffic. And SE can't do anything to dictate how traffic is directed to their servers.

if its such a big internet backbone for most of the US then why is it we are able to talk to each other here in the forums not to mention im still connected to the internet still running other online games and sites just fine. If Level 3 were this big backbone as you say then we would not have any access to these forums or other online games and sites.

Pretty big doesn't mean the only one. It's also worth noting that for many people characters aren't visible in Lodestone and last time I wasn't able to log into the forums. I think I'm able to post this time because I was still signed in.

Anything. I'm 15+ lvl on all crafts and 21 on gathering except for fishing at 11. Just want to level up quicker. Timed Nodes? I gotta learn what it is. Thx.

first make sure you have rested bonus, next find 1 thing that is medium hard to make and mass produce it, as far as leves being the fastest not completely true you only get 100 leves then your done til they reset. and this is the most important of all make sure you have at least 1 class at 60 you get a bonus of exp for having it there so instead of trying to lvl them all up at once do one first then move to the next and last dont forget about food bonus

If said other games aren't routing through Level3, then it makes sense for them to be working just fine. Not every website routes through Level3. Not every game hits Level3 when your computer is connecting to their servers either. Big backbone, but not the only one. There are 6 Tier 1 companies that serve as different Internet backbones. But that's neither here, nor there.

Just reading up on this issue more since it started occurring, I think the issue right now is that there's winter weather up in Montreal, which is where some of Level3's servers are located, as well as Ormuco's (which others have routed through on their way to their FFXIV server). I hit either or when my system does a tracert to my server, and I am still unable to log in. If the cause is, indeed, the weather, then pointing fingers at SE or Ormuco or Level3 or whoever serves no purpose. I am no longer pointing the finger at anyone. My initial reaction only went to Level3 since, given three days ago, it was their servers having issues. And my initial tracert showed issues upon hitting Level3's servers while routing to Cactuar.
