Regarding Reports on Recent Connection Problems with the NA Data Center

[Callinon]

Running FFXIV in what is essentially safe mode didn't work, nor would it be an acceptable solution even if it had.

I did notice one strange thing tonight.



Two connections to the same IP address (the FFXIV remote server) with nearly double the latency between them. Obviously these two connections should be taking the same route to each other so why such a sharp difference? Server problems maybe? If the remote server took a long time to respond to the ping request it would be the same as a network node taking a long time to respond.

Yeah, I noticed something was up, when me and my roomates would play, and only 1 of the 3 of us would get kicked.
Every time it happened.
Plus we can see what the other sees, and theres no actual lag when we get kicked most of the time.

And when I've set up 2 FF14s running on my PC, one using the keyboard, the other using a controller, either my account or my friends account would be DCed, but not the other.
(Remember, same computer, just 2 different accounts. And which one gets DCed is random.)
