Now it's a couple of days later and I'm getting the same problems. I was able to log in and do Ananta dailies for about 5 minutes before getting kicked. Went to the forums; set up the proper port forwarding; came back and now it's 90006-ing me about 30 seconds after I log in, each time. Even after I disabled the port forwarding I did, nothing changed.

Not sure if it's a coincidence, but this has happened after 8 p.m. CST each night. After further testing, this happens anytime I'm logged in, day or night. I'm in Arkansas in the U.S., my ISP is Comcast, and I am including a traceroute I attempted to run -- not sure if I did it right. I play on PC.



I've played more than 3,500 hours of FF over several years and I've never had this issue before. I know the new router seems like a red flag, but I've had zero issues playing any other game on PC or PS4, and I ran FFXIV perfectly the same night I replaced the router.
Unfortunately, this is not the correct IP address. Please perform a trace route to 204.2.229.9 and post the report here. Thank you.

I can't begin to tell you how sick and tired I am of hearing this nonsense as you continue to justify why your game doesn't function properly at certain times of the day and despite literally hundreds of players giving you all the data you ask for, you just can't seem to figure out what the problem could be.

I love FFXIV. I really do. It's a great game. But if I can't play it, I'm not going to continue paying for it. I don't think that's a super unreasonable position.
It is not unreasonable at all. However, the game and it's servers are functioning properly, the issue lies with how you are routed to them. This means a lot of things are out of our control and it will take time for us to find a solution. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
