[TwiceDamned]

Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

We apologize for any inconvenience experienced when trying to play Final Fantasy XIV. For us to better assist you, please respond with the following information:
Please provide:
- Platform (PC, PS4, Mac)
- Any error codes or messages you receive upon disconnect
- Type of connection (wired or wireless)
- Other programs running while the game is playing (if any)
- Frequency at which error occurs
- Does this only happen to one character or all characters?

Once we receive more information on the disconnection issue you are experiencing, we are more than happy to look into this issue further. Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!

NO!!!

The problem is on your end and you know it.

It's either you have dying/dead architecture or a criminal element you need to deal with.

STOP THE BULLSHIT AND GET TO THE REAL PROBLEM.

Yes,

I'm starting believe these are not DDoS attacks. Because if they were, the servers would stay down and become near impossible to login. But instead they are crashing, and once your character gets registered its logged out, you are immediately in a queue and back in the game...and then repeat. It's not a persistent servers being down due to being hammered...this is a completely different outcome.

There is something causing the servers to crash, whether this is something akin to the retainers bug, outdated server infrastructure or something else....there is definitely something going on.
