DDoS attacks are an inevitable annoyance while playing any popular MMO—but things are really getting out of hand in Final Fantasy XIV. The North American servers have been battered with on-off attacks for just under a full week, and fans aren’t happy about it.
The attacks first started on Sept. 18, targeting FFXIV’s European and Japanese servers and NA until full recovery on Sept. 20. After one day of respite, the disconnects ramped up again starting on Sept. 22, primarily affecting NA servers. Since then, the devs have been playing whack-a-mole with persistent attacks lasting at least a few hours each day.
