So when does SE plan to credit our accounts for the multiple ongoing service issues?

Someone might be attacking NTT for other reasons and maybe SE isn't targeted at all. They have hosting with NTT and it is possible that someone is trying to hurt NTT or some other company who uses their services. Maybe SE is the target. Unless someone comes out and says why the NA NTT routers are under attack, we can't know.

That company in Montreal must be pretty upset about SE switching servers.

SE owned the datacenter in Montreal, it was hosted at their office. Funnily enough, Level3 was still attacked this week, even though the servers are no longer in Montreal.

Just consider it savage content that every player can access.

Disconnects. The new superboss.

While I can see your point about them throwing us a bone with something like the silver chocobo feathers, I actually genuinely think that not only does SE not owe us a thing (as the service interruptions are not on their part), but they shouldnt throw us a bone to begin with, as while it may not be in the way intended, it'd still make the example to people like the ones DDoS'ing the servers (for whatever reason) that such tactics work to get things your way.

It's a incredibly risky thing to allow as it entices people doing things like this again whenever SE does something that upsets people

I concede to your point. I was just saying some other games compensate for unexpected downtime. Usually it’s not for DDOS though, but for patch fixes.

Indeed. If memory serves from my time back with WoW (yes yes, get your groans out now everyone), every now and then Blizzard would for instance actually add a couple of days for free to any active subscription, as a sort compensation for cumulative time that the game had been offline for patching, maintenance or anything of the sort.

I dont think anyone would argue that's a bad thing to do as it's most deffinitively a developer made "issue" that they then chose to compensate people for. But while SE's been quite generous and paused things like the auto demolition for houses when there's been a significant natural disaster preventing people from having acess to the game, it feels kinda silly and dangerous to ask them to take what is likely turn out to be a financial hit, for a problem that's not only not their fault, but something they're in all likelyhood either doing or already tried everything in their power to alleviate

(Not arguing against you or anything. Just wanted to elaborate ^^")

Why don't they have a backup ISPs though?

[Claviusnex]

According to SE the DDoS attacks have been mitigated. Hopefully they are correct.
