3. Square Enix have no control over anything except their own servers. How you get to their servers is not up to them. They are at a specific "address" on the Internet. Your ISP is choosing the roads to take to get to that address and in this case they're choosing roads with major blockages.



Completely different games... and their servers are very likely located in a completely different physical location. Therefore the Internet routes to get to those servers are different.



They don't own your ISP or Level 3 and have no influence over them. There is nothing they can do except post that they know there is a problem and any updates they also get.



SE only provide the service (which they have done, the servers are up and those of us on ISPs not using Level3 can connect just fine). They're not responsible for you having an Internet connection that works properly and is capable of getting you to their servers.



Yes because people don't understand the problem and blame the wrong company.



Because Ragnarok is located in Germany, Europe. Hyperion is located in Montreal, Canada, a completely different continent. Your journey/route to these servers are very different!
It's time to give up explaining to people, I tried. Some of these posters are the reasons why someone like Trump in theory can become president of the US.
