5006 error

[SyncNight]

Just talked to someone in the support chat. Was told they're experiencing technical issues, but don't have a cause currently, and that I should keep a lookout on the lodestone for updates. But they're working on it, apparently, so hopefully it will be sorted soon.

Thanks for the update! Appreciate it!

What did they say about giving us free whale mounts as compensation?

I would like to add that I did try switching data centers (I believe I switched to Elemental and that one loaded in fine) and then tried to switch back and still got the error. Either way, it's looking like those that get in don't -stay- in for long so I'm not sure I want it to work until this is figured out. xD

It does seem sketchy to me that they're not giving out much information but... :shrug:

Switch to a different data center thne back to the original one. Gotta do it each time you reboot the game until they fix it.

That may work, but it's not preventing the timely DC after <.<

Lodestone claims it's a DDOS attack, not sure how much I really believe that but it's rather annoying. Kinda wanted to play after all day at work.

I got connected to Malboro server and notice says very poor connection. Was on for about minute before getting the boot. Where ever the datacenter is must be broken. Hoping they get it fixed so can do dailies today. Really makes me wonder if same thing going to happen next week for crossover event. Get now 5006 error on console and pc. EU database works fine.

I figured as much. What typically happens is if you attack the login servers they are unable to authenticate you as you play which eventually leads to you dcing due to this.

Unfortunately, there is not much enix can do but wait it out. Even big companies are weak to dos threats. So sit tight and go check out other forums while you wait.

Heya guys, tech expert here. I can confirm this is what a real dos attack would look like. They are likely attacking the login servers, it took me 10 minutes to even log into the forums.
