90002 Disconnect error

[Final-Fantasy]

Getting insane now, took me 5 logins to administer my ten retainers, normally takes less than two minutes, now with the constant disconnects, ten to fifteen minutes.

Can nothing be done to stop whatever is happening, from happening. Need a connection to your service that works without disruption.

9 disconnects so far today I think. Kind of a nuisance for crafting.

I just got it and considering the queue to login went to 300+, I assume its not an individual issue and something else at a larger scale.

...really wish there was a way for US to find who's doing this...

Not sure tracing is going to work for random drops. Its just going to show success when its up. You would have to do continuous parallel trace routes to see where that one blip happened that dropped your connection. And even that may not show anything if the game server or routers at the end are dropping packets.

I wish we could get some information from SE besides the usual copy/paste notices in the news feed.

The fact that thos has been going on, nonstop, for a week straight suggests to me that the attackers intentions might be to destroy this mmo.

If the attacks never stop, and SE can't stop this, we could be looking at the end of this game in NA...

this is reminiscent of the eu and na ddos attacks of the september 2019 wow classic attacks , that guy ended up getting arrested though

Would it be possible for SE to set up their servers so that ONLY traceable connections are allowed?

We know that the DDoS attacker and proxies will use VPNs or some other service to avoid getting caught. Can SE set up their servers to simply not accept any connection that isn't traceable? O know this sounds "big brothery", but it would effectively make it impossible to launch a DDoS attack without getting caught. Might be the only way...
