PSN is down

[Grimmel]

The Lizard Squad is taking blame for the attacks on the Sony and Microsoft Gaming Industry on Christmas. :\

[Stupiduglytaru]

Copy and paste or what still better than nothing, makes me laugh the amount of people blaming Sony for some kids ddosing them, xbox is also affected.
Will just have to wait it out

Not much you can do to stop a ddos attack, lizard have admitted sony was hard to break through unlike Microsoft.
Warning or not how can you stop geniune looking traffic overflooding them? Phone each individual person logging on to ask if its their Christmas present?

You're right. I hope they compensate us for losing days on our accounts. It's only fair. We paid for usage...we should be able to use!!!

[NeaturalBomber]

They will compensate you , but you'll get to choose 1 of 3 relic games that nobody wants to play or have been free in the past as a thank you for letting loose on there twitter feed and calling them all sorts of names

Just curious: Are you on PS4? I know someone in JP who wasn't having any issues with PSN on PS3 yesterday, but wasn't sure if JP PS4 was affected or not.

I'm in Okinawa on PS4, and still no luck. My friend though tried about 77 times and finally logged in yesterday. So i'm at about 32, and still trying.

Am I being to hopeful that SE will extend ps3 and ps4 members sub this month because of psn being down thing long?

[Zumi]

It is, I am in Japan, haven't been able to log in in over 24 hours.



Because even if they can't stop ddos, it's most definitely their fault we can't play ffxiv even though it doesn't need PSN.

FFXIV on PS3/4 has PSN authentication. When you install FFXIV on PS3/4 you get a FFXIV license linked to your PSN account it is viewable under services. When you log in to play FFXIV on PS3/4 it does a check with PSN to make sure you have a FFXIV license on your PSN account. They don't want people playing on PS3/4 that have not a license, because someone could just borrow a ps4/3 disc then install it and play with their pc account otherwise and never bought the game on PS. Once you are logged in you don't need any more interaction with PSN though.

[NeaturalBomber]

It's not SE that needs to compensate they run a well maintenced service that Sony seems to lack . So don't get your hopes up

[Invision]

Got on psn and the game still won't load past the launcher :/

[NeaturalBomber]

What country are you in to log in ?
