Chaos data server down?

[Aluja89]

Glad it's not on my end, as Hacchan said this is something out of their control.

Looking at the network, The game servers themselves are still online, but the server that handles login requests and player movement is offline.

Network equipment, while still vital, is typically LESS protected than the main servers that connect them to the outside world.

I know there are storms in the region, so its likely that everything could go wrong, did go wrong.

I feel sorry for the rack monkeys as they wont be sleeping till the issue is fixed

So... I am guessing Chaos Server / EU Data Centre is going to be out of commission for the rest of the day, if not up until and possibly through the weekend at this stage...

Welp, there goes my Eureka grind plans. XD

There should be some kind of compensation to this "Chaos"
I took a day off work to level and now ended up refreshing forums!!

I'm sure if you ask nicely, they may send you the 25 cents they will owe you from the down time.

if they do that they have to do it for EVERYONE, since we all pay for the service to play on every server and SE basically don't know for wich data center we are paying. that means SE loses 125.000 dollar per day for all the 500.000 active players.

It should be nice if they add one free subscription's day to every player which have at least one character inside the chaos DC ... does not matter if player are using it or not.

That you took the day off is not something they can take responsibility for.

In general, very very few MMO providers will give any kind of compensation for unplanned outages unless they last for 24 hours or more. And even then there is no guarantee.

What kind of "grown" man takes a day off work to play video games in the first place. Unless you work 12 hours a day then it's understandable. And this the first time it has happened, there have been smaller issues at times but they got fixed faster. Plus you don't get to play the game whenever you want since on patch days maintances can take up to a day. AND they know they have a problem, when did they tell us to check our own ends with the problem?

Instead of complaining in forums all day you could have played something else.

You judge and ridicule an aspirational hero, who rather fight in the front lines in Eorzea than spending time half a sleep infront of the copy machine? Where does your confidence come from? To define grown men? You're either a puppet or a god to be able to lecture others about virtue.
