I suspected last night may just have been because people in the US would be traveling for Memorial Day. They've likely gotten to their vacation spots now and logged in.


Back to the Honolulu VPN server I go

I have been having major issues like the rest of us on at&t and have submitted tickets, called at&t and tried to get things resolved and we all know how that went. I gave up and went with a vpn (PIA) and it was working much better with the vpn with the different locations in previous postings. This afternoon, however, even with the VPN I am now having the same issues that I had without it. I will keep changing locations but I am now getting disconnects in game and huge lag spikes worse than ever. I have a feeling it is because of the weekend more people are on game but it is now unplayable with a vpn which i had to pay for on top of the game monthly subscription. Not sure what to try and about to give up on playing ffxiv as it does not seem like it is going to be fixed anytime soon. This is unacceptable but here we are.

I'm using PIA as well. Try Honolulu. It doesn't hit that 129.250.7.57 IP and at least for me that seems to make all the difference.
