While Final Fantasy 14’s North American servers have stabilized since the May 6 DDoS attack, it seems overseas players haven’t been as lucky. Of the three continued attacks on the servers, Europe has been caught in every single one for five consecutive days of intermittent outages.
So far, none of the outages have been as severe as the worldwide DDoS attack on Monday, which started 12 hours before the scheduled all-worlds maintenance and five hours after for a total of 17 hours of worldwide downtime between May 6 and 7. There have been three more confirmed DDoS attacks since; a six-hour outage on NA, EU, and Oceanic servers on May 7, a four-hour outage hitting Japan and EU on May 9, and the ongoing attack affecting EU and JP servers—now lasting over 15 hours.
