Refund or free Sub Time for DDoS NOW

They for sure don't owe anything, but to do nothing in an xpac where goodwill is at a premium would be most unwise.

SE doesn't care. They really don't now.

People still manage to defend this mess I see, interesting.

OP is a troll, that's nothing new, however the problem does exist, it's been since DT that it's been a massive mess, and even more so the past week.

Their "countermeasures" arent working, and if you are defending this in any way, you are the problem.

SE isnt a small indie company.

Troll be trolling again.

They can't counter what isn't targeting them and most of the recent attacks haven't been targeting the game. If they were, everyone would be getting dumped from the servers instead of just certain players while others are unaffected.

The problem is those who are initiating the attacks in the first place, not SE and not the players.

Regardless, given the issues, SE should consider potentially moving to a new location that isn't being DDoS'd. The attacks could be aimed at SE but I don't see why, so they are probably just being caught in the crossfire that is attacking others.

Or they could move NA to the cloud server they used for the cloud test. It was widely praised for the improved ping.

all well and good... but unless they are running direct lines to every subscriber, there is still the potential to be caught in DDoS attacks directed elsewhere... as we have seen.

No its not their direct fault, not they dont need to, yet i feel like a "oh well our servers are down, anyways enjoy your free playtime!" would do more against the ddos then... whatever they're doing lol

One wonders how any other MMORPG is doing perfectly fine DDOS wise, and even FPS games are doing fine.

But please, do keep excusing mediocrity.

About a year ago (Sept. 2023), Destiny 2 was DDOS'd non-stop for a week straight (as in throughout virtually the entire day, every day, rather than one brief specific window late at night).

WoW has been hit with periodic DDOS attacks throughout its entire existence, including multiple easily searchable examples in just the past year alone.

The reality is that "any other MMO" isn't doing perfectly fine - most successful ones experience this on a rather frequent basis. It just happens to be FFXIV's "turn" now, so to speak.

FF14 is DDoS'd for an entire month now so what's your point ?
