PSN is down

[RyujinUzikin]

And how exactly are they planning on ending greed? Every company there is tries to become richer, even health is a business, death is a business, no matter where you look, everything is a business. They don't want to make you happy, they make you happy so you make them happy with money.

I don't see any productive quality to this attack, all I see is cyber terrorism.

Yeah, they're not even hacking, it's a DDOS attack that only serves to inconvenience the users of the service and extremely annoying to people who only have one free day per week. Calling the actions of these morons "cyber terrorism" would be more of a compliment in their eyes than what they're doing, their actions are more like clogging a toilet. I hope they get caught and suffer serious repercussions, I see nothing funny or amusing in this.

This guy with the lizard fetish must have been tricked by Microsoft into buying an Xbox One. My condolences to all those of you out there that are playing on the PSN.

I really wish they could make it so that you don't have to log onto psn to play. I mean, for ps3 users, it shouldn't be a big deal. For ps4 users, they could just use a check method where when you log in, it checks when your psn plus expires and place a marker and then allow you to log in until the marked date, updating each login with psn up.

Then have a say backup function for if the psn is down, to have it so that we don't need the psn to be up. Like have it so that normally it works how it already works, but when psn goes down, have it so that it switches to a backup system.

You don't need PSN Plus to play FF XIV.
You only need to be log in to your PSN accont before you can log in to the SE servers (the PSN account and the SE service account are linked together).

Well, in that case, there is no reason why we couldn't potentially have it so that we don't need the PSN to be up. It would just be that they'd have to change a few things specifically for the event that it is down.

My connection went down after the earthquake :S

I'm sure Squeenix would prefer this but Sony even going back to the PS2 has had requirements for network authentication (DNAS on PS2) in order to verify your console, the game software etc. If FFXIV wasn't a game there wouldn't be a problem. Netflix etc. get around it because they're a service. I think the only way FFXIV could get classed as a "service" instead of a game is if the game software itself was free. That would negate any need for software authentication by Sony. I can remember a lot of DNAS issues playing XI on PS2 for a long while.
