Pissed as hell with the server instability!

That sucks. I knew someone who had that happen to him, and he didn't log on afterwards for like 4 days. Fairly certain it wasn't his net too, since we all got the boot from XIV and the login queue was huge.
Anyway, at least you don't play on balmung. This thread would be full of people saying you deserved to be kicked for, uhh, *checks notes* playing on a popular server.

The net is more than just your direct connection to your isp. That's why if ATT or FIOS has an issue somewhere further down the line, it can effect people from other states, while people on other ISPs won't have issues connecting to the game.

Websites don't care about packet loss, and neither does video streaming (that's what buffering is for).

XIV only has 1 set of servers for each data center, and they are located in California. If your isp routes you through a faulty node, you can see lots of people on the same isp having DC issues, while others have none.


It really does amaze me in the current internet centric world how few people actually understand what's going on beyond "my internet works or doesn't"

Yeah dude, it's crazy that people would look at everyone else getting kicked, a massive queue to get back in, and "Everything else working fine" and think that the problem was with the one thing not working. Crazy how in this internet centric world, people would ignore the most obvious shit while troubleshooting.
I should've led with this, but square even announced that it was on their end: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...eac4f3c9b33e62

I'm talking about the OPs issue currently. There was no notice about issues with their world server.

The OP is on brynhildr and talking about 3am this morning. Not Balmung 2 weeks ago...


Yes the servers have issues. This was not one of those times

The first thing I do when one of these gets posted is look for a lodestone notification lol...
