"Lobby server connection has encountered an error" 5006

DDOS attack there easy excuse for every time they have server problems. Seems fishy when all other online games play never have problems with but this one has constant problems.

Exactly! Thank you for sharing my view and yes you are right. It IS to easy an excuse, especially as often as they used it. Also no other game I play ever has this much problems.

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.

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.
