"Lobby server connection has encountered an error" 5006

[Windwalker]

DDOS attack there easy excuse for every time they have server problems. Seems fishy when all other online games I play and never have problems with logins. But this one has constant problems. Very weird there with them every month by them when others aren't.

Because this game is popular? It got better reputation than World of Warcraft that used to be the top mmo, now FFXIV takes its place with alot of people migrating from WoW.

Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Unfortunately, it looks like we are experiencing network difficulties due to a DDOS attack on the North American Data Center. For more information, please see this Lodestone post: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...364bee056a63de

Had a 1200+ queue first thing this morning, but once I got in it was all fine for about 5 hours. I,logged out for lunch and a nap, and had lots of lag after logging in very quickly. DC'd, and got continual lobby errors. Now I'm in a 900+ queue again, I suspect made up of everyone who got DC'd a while ago.
