So during heavy times and peak hours, I started getting issue with 90002 errors during the 4.2-4.36 patches. Dropping connection to the server 5-8 times but would taper off in the evenings when traffic was less. Before anyone necessarily asks or a moderator addresses the issues, I have found it's an issue on Ntt.net's side which is the provider for Square Enix in regards to creating a route to the data center. This is what a lot of people are having issues with in the Arizona area which I am in Phoenix.

I just want to put something to note at this time and I don't know if the moderators will address it... is to let you all know that this situation is something Square Enix is unable to address and Ntt.net IS addressing.

Below is the outage chart for NTT. If you people in the Arizona and essentially the west coast that are using Cox/Comcast/Verizon/ATT for internet, this is why we are running into issues at this time when we are tracerouting and pinging 204.2.229.9



Unfortunately, it seems these fires in California are affect the playtime for everyone.



Above is a snap of the current and previous fires that hit the California area. I definitely feel for these people while making this post . But what I wanted to point out is that it does explain for some of the FF14 community why they are not able to connect reliably. The only thing I can suggest is to wait it out

I thought to post this because reading the most recent information and finding that I was going around in circle of "it's Square's issue" to "it's my fault" to "it's NTT's issue"...which the latter is very true but only due to natural disaster. So all I can say FF14 community that is in my area is to wait it out.

Stay safe and have fun Eorzeans,
Tacet
