Of COURSE they pick today. It's my birthday, and my wife and some FC mates were gonna do an impromptu map night to celebrate in lieu of anything IRL thanks to bad weather.

The scope seems too vast and lingering to be a DDOS in my opinion. Unless we're entering a new phase of cyber warfare, I think something happened to the physical data center building housing NA's servers. Guess we'll find out when Square Enix sends out an update. Hopefully it's just a freak accident and they get everything up and running ASAP and don't have to worry about future issues like this.

If they do say it was a DDOS and give us the same generic response, I'm probably going to suspend my sub because that means Square is unable/unwilling to keep the game stable and we shouldn't be paying for unreliable services. Why bother paying for a game that can be taken down on a literal continental scale at a moment's notice by any random fucker with some programming knowhow? But we'll cross that bridge only if we come to it.

Not at all, a ddos can last for a good amount of time. Back when played WoW before quitting and switching to this with a vastly better community, a ddos could last 30 mins to hours. It all depends on how determined the person/s performing the attack are at keeping it going. There is no way to prevent a ddos from happening, if they are determined enough to get past inital preventions then they will make it happen.

For once, this might actually be out of SE's control.

Some reports out of the Sacramento area indicate a power outage near the data center.

Same here. I figured it might be because of the massive storm hitting the US right now, but I doubt it would be affecting the servers in CA.

According to is.xivup.com the servers should be back up now.

Edit: and tested, was able to get back on

If that's the case, shouldn't they have backup generators to keep the servers up and running.

Dynamis is still down. Tried 5 times now to login and still get 2002 lobby error every time.
