Server disconnecting all day

Small indie company, you have to understand

Texas has higher energy costs and a less reliable power grid.

No idea why anyone would put data centers there.

Guild Wars 2's servers were in dallas texas since 2012 until 2018. They're now in virginia though which makes the most sense traffic wise since that side of the country is where most of the activity happens; west coast wouldn't have much trouble getting connected there.

I'd suggest trying a VPN to get around the faulty node. I'm not having trouble personally.

(You don't need a gaming VPN. The other ones are good in general in my experience, despite not marketing to games.)

Agree. I use Expressvpn which isn't marketed to games but it's rated as one of the best ones without the "for games" tag attached to it.

Texas would be great and make more sense for the bulk of the player base. Chicago would also be a decent place to have data centers. I know that's where one of WoW's main data centers is located, with the other being in CA.

Seems like Chaos is getting it right now. Strange lag spikes felt by everyone in the dungeon, fun stuff

Unless SE stops with their bias towards Japanese owned companies, Texas would be a terrible location due to NTT.

I get constant d/c's and ping spikes due to the Dallas, Texas NTT node, forcing me to use a VPN to avoid it.

So sick of this. Just got kicked out of a treasure map dungeon because of this. What a waste.

My FC and my friends schedule weekly events with each other but they fizzle out due to DDoS a third of the time. What are we paying our subs for?

It is unlikely its a DDoS attack. Download WinMTR and run a traceroute to the servers. It is very likely you are being routed through NTT which is an absolute trash dump of an ISP company that SE uses and refuses to hold accountable.

If its the case that you are, you (and others) might want to look into a VPN if you want to continue playing FFXIV, because there is no fix in sight.

It's a DDoS. SE just posted it

I read some article that suggested it's from all the mods ppl use. I'd laugh if that's the case. Shut 'em down!
