Balmung Server Crash out and Can't connect to Data Center.

[SoothingBell]

It only a given though when a game or an expansion launches. It brings in a lot of people, probably too many and then Square just has to adjust to the amount who enter and it'll be all good. You cant predict the amount of people who log in until it happens. Im sure it'll be up soon so no worries.

tried all of that still doesnt work bout to just change data centers until all this clears

Definitely more than just Balmung. I've been 2002'd for the last five hours or so and haven't been able to get back on.

Balmung here, got a 90002 about 4 hours ago, haven't been able to get back online since. I've seen the character select screen only twice, but after keeping me in queue for a half hour with the place in queue not changing, it gave me the lobby error and booted me out.

Tried the dnsflush, reboot, log in character on different data center, log out try my data center.

No dice.

Locked out for 5 hours. Byebye early access day 1

Nothing works now. The DNS flush doesn't work. The Switching Data centers doesn't work. Those who are still in game are the only ones playing unless they crash and get booted out with the rest of us. Why hasn't Square said anything yet?

Aether Data Center reports connects as Poor other Data Centers say Good or Excellent.

Checked internet and pings sub 25 and through put 20+MBps so it is not my end or the ISP.

Either SE just that overloaded, are under attack or there is a hardwared/infrastructure issue.

Either way it would be nice to hear something from SE acknowledging the issue
