If you look at this as I'm posting just after the servers dropped, you'll see that the Japanese router is at 0, with 100% packet loss, no activity. You'll also notice like 6 other Asian routers are under the same condition. Asia's internt has way way too much traffic, and its a huge problem, its been on the rise, I remember back a while ago, FFXI hardly ever was down, so please, I'm not going to say stop ******** about downtime, its annoying and its never going to end. But stop ******** at SE, they cant fix all of Asia's internet.

From what I understand, the above mentioned site is no longer a valid picture of the internet. It connected to one server in japan that no longer exists.

This thread from early this morning acknowledges that there was another issue affecting SE's login capabilities. Could something like that bee happening again? I notice that I'm having a hard time getting numerous sites to load.

wtf is wrong with it?

do you not believe it?

is it a SE conspiracy, made up to cover up ****** servers?


if the information isn't getting into/out of Asia how is that SE's fault?

When FFXI is up consistently - Asia is in the green - it's a handy tool to help people figure out why FFXI is down - although apparently the easier thing to do is ***** and moan about how much it sucks and how much you are OWED

You don't think SE execs are pulling thier hair out - they want POL up as much as we do.

So if the site is so busted, why does it change regularly, all the information is changed and updated, the trends change, and the graphs change, they just have a random script running to make it look like it works?

I'm not an SE basher; I believe that SE execs are at LEAST as unhappy about this as we are. We want to play, they want a service that will attract paying customers--which means they want a service that works. None of us are getting what we want at the moment.

But, no, I don't believe that site. They are attempting to paint a picture of the internet by determining the connectivity of selected backbone routers. Not a bad idea, really, although they do not, IMHO, look at enough routers. The problem is that their figures are utterly bogus. The router they're looking at for Japan (*one* router, to profile *all* of Japan) is 100% percent down, always. Always. Therefore their profile shows that, according to them, Japan has been completely offline for months. The truth, of course, is that they are either a) not getting correct figures for the router or b) are out-of-date and looking at a router no longer in service. In either case, the figures are bogus. Japan has, obviously, NOT been completely offline for months. Several other Asian routers they use to compile their figures show a similar profile. It's not an intentional deception. It's simply that their data is inadequate, out-of-date, and flat-out wrong.

That wouldn't be cool, the JP's can roam and claim any NM's or whatever, while the NA players are getting errors...

Then is there any better site that displays similar information. I'm just sick of people coming to the conclusion that all of SE technicians are a bunch of incompetent morons and its all "their fault" Why would SE make up some retarted story about DDoS if it wasnt really happening, I beleive it is happening. Its probably from Chinese RMT sweat shoppers who are trying to **** SE over by pinging the **** out of their servers, so people will ***** so much that they switch games and fall into their claws again. Not that there arent still a lot of RMTs, but I seriously dont think SE are ********* and the reason they are having issues is because someone tripped and kicked out the power plug.

FFXI is a japanese game. Why would the servers be in amercia?

ON a side note, it would give NA ping advantages over (ever so slightly) EU and JP.

Also, its fine where they are, you don't like it, suck it up, and a quit, or suck it up and spit it out.

Also, SE has been replacing equipment, yesterday they changed a majority of the Server equipment the "Backbone" as they called it, i'm sure they are having small issues with optimizing their systems, and with the massive traffic its probably just like a chain reaction once something goes wrong. They cant just shut the servers down for a few days and mess around with things, all hell would break loose.

what did i do?
