HUGE CONNECTION PROBLEM

[DiaDeem]

For the love of GOD Square. This is the second time this week. You keep doing all these unscheduled maints all over the place, and that's fine... but to be dealing with this?
We are all paying for that, please get your stuff together :V

Mateus is on and off again, error codes 2002, 5006, and 6000 and something? I had to log off from ps3 after being booted around 10-13 times and being fed up with it, forgot that 3rd code by the time i registered and all hehe. I think there should be another hotfix maintenance since this is a repeating problem. Easier said than done though, i know. However, please fix it Square Enix, good luck.

I'm still getting the 3 -10 second lag jumps all around me where a player stops and reappears in another location. I HAVE DONE THE WORKS on this PC to ensure it wasn't coming from my rig. This has been going on for the past 10-15 days

1) run Disk Clean up & Disk Frag
2) Make sure all my Drivers are up to date
3) memtest, pingtest, etc
4) Bought a brand new router
5) Reinstall my OS and every driver to an up to date status
6) Cussed out Time Warner Cable ( got a new modem & free internet upgrade for 6 months)
7) reinstalled XIV

After doing all that work, I still end up in the beginning where it started. Players stop for a few secs and reappear somewhere else in a different position.

I have never had this happen to me since the game was released until now. I am at a lose of words in what to do at this point.

Midgardsormr seems to have stabilized for the moment. I don't know about the other servers / data centers though.

So is that DDoS attack confirmed? I heard WoW got DDoS'd after their newest expansion launched too.

EDIT: Nvm, just read the lodestone. Wonder what this attack is about though. Maybe I'm wrong in assuming they have to be "about" anything though.

The connection problems are being addressed I have looked this up, the last two days have been bad, specially last night, it has nothing to do with mine or other's internet issues or ISP issues. FF14 is receiving a massive amount of DDoS attacks (denial of service). http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...c98757b05b88f3
I wish we could find out who they are and kick them all to some remote area of Milky Way, maybe a blackhole?

[DiaDeem]

Oooh, so it was DDoS?... Damn, not much to do there :c

[wallywonks]

Whoever is doing these attacks needs to be locked away forever. I wonder if Blizzard is up to it. Imagine if they fake an attack on themselves then attack FF14 who is their biggest MMO competitor to try to get people upset and go back to WoW especially with their new Xpac out. Just playing devils advocate.

I personally wouldn't be surprised if the "reason" was trying to light a fire under SE's asses to move the EU data center to Europe like they had mentioned a few weeks back, or just is simply being done to irritate the player base with added lag during the initial weeks of the new patch. Regardless, I can't wait to see the EU data center moved simply for the traffic through to Montreal to be eased up, most likely won't be anything amazing but any amount of improvement is welcome, esp when you're a country (or ocean) away from the data center you're playing on.

And... DDoS strikes again... This is beyond silly. What the heck do the hackers hope to gain by this?
