PSN is down

[Tempting]

I'm logged in on my PS3, but I have a bad habit of never turning it off so...I guess for DDoS attacks not logging out is good?

I also can't log into PSN, but I'm still in the game; didn't know that was possible.

Its because you are connected to FFXIV's servers.

In order to get access to those servers, you need to be online (sony). So since you logged in before it went down, your already connected to SE directly so your golden as far as FFXIV is concerned.

Now if somehow you lost connection...then it means you just joined the "outside looking in" club.
