Chaos dies again: Hello Darkness My Old Friend...

Ya'll gotta remember that the servers aren't exactly the issue here, unless specifically stated, which is why some of you get dc'd while others see only the same people that usually have issues dc.

Its one of the network routes, probably level3 again. I've seen people say that Teleo? Is usually fine.

True, but the servers themselves are a bit of a running joke at this point because they're so badly...configured.

I just wish people would complain about the right part, because when some DOES actually become a problem, it'll be another one of those, "they always say its this, but its never this its that, so we will look at that first" things.

People complain about servers (hardware) when its usually the software (behind certain thing people would like implemented) or network (usually external) that is the issue.

The game servers themselves are pretty stable, even after major patches. I remember some MMO's ive played in the past where main would cause character rollbacks, loss of data, and other weird glitches other than just "this function has a slight bug that will impact a few people"

you try saying that with a straight face when you are on a datacenter that has been having nothing but problems for the past 3 weeks. The game servers are taxed, the datacenter they picked feels like the budget of the barrel. I honestly liked it a lot more when the servers were in Canada....

See, these were the problems I had when the servers were in Canada

Kicked from server on last boss unable to reconnect.

Wouldnt be even half as annoying if everytime the client failed to connect IT CLOSED MAKING ME RELOG IT AGAIN TO FAIL AGAIN! ._.

When the game DCs me and fails to relog, I have to reboot my entire PC to be able to log in again because it starts giving me version errors. Extremely annoying.

Yeah, I had a version error a little while ago. What's strange to me is, despite the fact these attacks are happening on other data centers, I'm getting hit with them on Primal. I'm lagging JUST enough for it to be annoying in dungeons/raids/trials and everywhere outside, but not bad enough that the game is unplayable. Happened during the last set of attacks as well. After they supposedly ended for good I was fine up until they started with the JP servers...and now it's back.

And yet no compensation of any form for the lost days.

"5. INTERRUPTION TO THE SERVICE

From time to time, in order to provide our customers with the optimal gaming experience, it is necessary for Square Enix to conduct routine maintenance on the computers and/or servers that support the Game. During these times, access to the Game or support services may be interrupted. Access may also be temporarily suspended in whole or in part, without notice, due to emergency repairs, fire, flood, explosion, war, strike, embargo, governmental action or failure to act, the act of any civil or military authority, act of God, or by any other causes beyond Square Enix's control, or any other reasons for which Square Enix, in its sole discretion, deems that temporary suspension is necessary. You acknowledge that disruptions of service may occur and waive any causes of action against Square Enix in any way arising from or related to any such disruptions of service."

You agreed to this, they owe you nothing.
It would be a nice gesture of them, sure... but considering the cost involved for them the higher ups most likely wont agree to that.
Besides: It seems kinda difficult to determine how much compensation they should give out. You might notice that I'm playing on Odin aswell - but lucky me only had 2 or 3 difficult evenings in the past weeks, while other people might have had more or even less trouble. So how do you compensate that?

...which isnt going to happen anyways, which is something you agreed to when installing the game.
