Honestly this is so frustrating, I have scoured the internet, tried to reset router, modify dns settings, changed the config file in documents/My Games/FF14 to force a check and a whole load of other things people have suggested over the YEARS this problem has sporadically appeared.

Anyone got any idea how to solve this?

On another note am I the only one that thinks this is a problem that needs to be addressed by the games technical team?
