It's literally out of their hands.

I disagree. As a large corporation such as SE has resources, contacts and professional staff at their disposal who understand these issues and can work towards its resolution. This is not beyond SE to fix. Stop spouting useless misinformation.

Duh. Because those are US companies. That site is tracking packet loss for US. And as of right now, there is no dedicated EU server. EU uses US.

So how do you explain my being in Japan using a Japanese ISP, and yet my characters are on NA servers and they are still affected by the 90k errors?

No, this is out of their hands. its literally a DNS issue up the internet backbone. anything and everything that has servers in montreal is down, not just SE.

Level 3 probably had an outage. there are major storms going through the area, and I would not be surprised if the lines are buried under 5 feet of snow.

I'm sure if it was as simple as natural disasters causing outages in Montreal, SE should have made a statement by now relaying as much.

Having worked in Incident management for a major corporation before (hated that job!) I can say that likely they have not found that to be the problem yet. they only know that traffic isn't reaching over, and have probably called someone at level 3 to say "What is going on, can you please give us updates". other than that, they cant tell what it is, natural disaster, power outage, coffee spill, anything. they just have to wait for Level 3 to call them back and say "this is what happened, this is how its being resolved, this is when it will be fixed."

The person who types those errors, I feel for them. their life and job really sucks.

its like you are being willfully ignorant. multiple people have posted the information saying what is going wrong and that the problem isnt being caused by SE, but by packet(the data being sent/received) loss from your isp to nodes(roads for said data to go thru to get to where they need to) that are owned by a specific company that is known to have this problem all the time. please, at least read what people are saying, and not simply dismiss it because "I DEMAND SE FIX THIS BECAUSE REASONS".
literally dumbed it down to where my mom would understand who and what is causing the problem.

Actually I wasn't demanding SE to do anything. I was requesting other users to stop posting unconfirmed misinformation, and it would seem my hunch was right it was a DDoS attack and not "packet loss" between American ISP's and their users.
And yeah... SOURCE:http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...c98757b05b88f3 So I guess I win the internets! :P

[Tupsi]

And yeah... http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...c98757b05b88f3 So I guess you can eat your words lol?

No, she is still correct and it's been reported numerous times. The current issue may be DDoS, but Level3.net has been causing issues for SE for the past year for numerous people. Also notice how her post said: "Not caused by SE", so regardless, she is still correct even in that regard, so there's no "words to be eaten", sorry Vespar.

The world isn't so simple and convenient. Square is a tiny ant compared to these megaconglomerates.

As long as you're passing through specific areas of the US, you will encounter these issues. If you use a Japanese ISP and use a Japanese server, you won't have them.
