@ Paintballrulz: I agree, it's frustrating. I have no idea why this guy wants to adamantly insist that it's your ISP when there are so many things that could possibly go wrong, most of them being under the realm of SE's responsibility. I'm a big fan of SE, but I'll be the first to tell you that they have a long history of awful customer service and a habit of taking a long time to get around to acknowledging/fixing technical issues.

@ OP: Please update your first post with a link to this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...serious-issues

It's posted under technical support, so I'm hoping that more people posting in that thread will make SE more likely to notice it.

Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon and we can all get back to playing.
