I am a mentor on the Behemoth Server.

Beginning Late Last night and occurring in Bursts, a lot of people are experiencing the following:

1) Connection Timeouts
2) Large Lag Spikes (in Persistent and Instanced Zones)
3) Loss of Synchronization (between client/server update)

We learned through novice network when a player asked if many of us were just booted/disconnected from the server at once, and people responded in affirmation.

Also, another note.
I tried logging in with my normal password and it failed. I was forced to change my password in order to continue playing this game.

I ask that I please not be linked to that thread about "Internet Connections" as I majored in Computer Science and I've ran Server Clusters in the past to know well beyond the basics....

A recent Square-Enix announcement claimed that Japanese Data Centers were under DDoS Attack. Our server morale is declining, and people are on edge fearing that our Data Center may be next.

Thank you for everything in Advance.
