Log in, can run around, everyone seems to move, then pause, no attacks work

I'm having the exact same issue, only that I'm from Asia country.. the connection is excellent and I have no problem doing anything before 27th , since yesterday night.. the game was running in unplayable lag.. sigh

The same issue here, on Midgardsormr. The receiving drops down to 0 and everything lags for the longest time. Especially in the middle of hunting. I dread the first dungeon I do.

Having this problem today as well. I'm from the Asia region and am playing on EU.

Why EU you ask? Because my mates are there and I've NEVER had a problem playing it smoothly until recently. It's really shitty to walk into the last boss of the dungeon and freeze for 30 seconds (lag-wise) at a time, unable to interact or cast spells; knowing that you'll be dead by the time the first lag wave is over.

Any official confirmation on this would be good.

So I quickly made a new character in JP, played with no delays or unresponsiveness whatsoever.
Swapped back to EU to check if it's my net and the delays happened again almost instantly.

Now what?

I am also from Asia and having the same issue. Latency is horrible and been disconnecting almost every 30 minutes.

Same problem here.

As posted in other threads:
It has something to do with the server reaching a specific capacity of people in the area, when this happens your client to server interactions start exhibiting traits of a P2P file sharing application, most ISP's either block or throttle this traffic, thus you get the laggy / DC experience. This is a problem both with the FFXIV server and your ISP.

Looks like the lot of us will have to populate JP servers to get them to make a move? Haha
