Massive Simultaneous Disconnection

**Noob** · 2012-09-19 12:07

Huge simultaneous disconnection for a ton of players on Siren server just a moment ago. Was leading a VWNM and everyone disconnected at the same time except me. Anyone else experience this?

**cosworthrs** · 2012-09-19 12:09

I just witnessed it as well on valefor, the entire zone was red dotted, then I went about five minutes later

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-09-19 12:20

Apparently most of Lakshmi (but not me :D) just went down at once too.

**SargentRemora** · 2012-09-19 12:23

Same with Leviathan, but for some reason, my shell's mules were unaffected.

**xerodok** · 2012-09-19 12:33

FFXIV team pulled the wrong cords.

**Sonomaa** · 2012-09-19 12:50

this is usually something we would blame on Taj

**Callisto** · 2012-09-19 12:54

I'm assuming it's like the same deal as that time BG was down for a day because Ragns knocked a Labatt Blue over into the server

**Cairthenn** · 2012-09-19 14:14

Even servers know horrible beer choices. :D

**Odin'sLaw** · 2012-09-19 14:16

happened on Sylph as well, seems an odd server hiccup that effected a lot of people yet not all

**Kaisha** · 2012-09-19 14:22

[EDIT] Nevermind, my PC is being fucking retarded and is in need of a format any day now.

**Elizara** · 2012-09-19 15:37

Happened on Quetz too (I verified this with a couple friends; I was not logged on at the time due to rl agg). Draconian has said that he's been R0ing off and on since then as well.

Can we rule out comets/tsunami/natural disasters over in Japan?

We have reason to believe that an unknown person gained unauthorized access to a
third-party vendor’s server located in Japan that hosts the SQUARE ENIX ONLINE SHOP
(Square Enix-branded merchandise). http://www.square-enix-shop.com
We are assessing the full extent of this potential breach to determine what personal data, if
any, was compromised, and will provide more detailsas soon as possible. To this point, we
have not identified any personal data that was actually downloaded and/or removed from
the server.
We understand that some of Square Enix, Inc.’s U.S.customers may have non-financial
(such as name, mailing address, phone number and email) account data on this server. The
server in question does not store credit card information for our U.S.
customers. Additionally, this server and vendor are not connected to any other Square Enix
online services.
In response, Square Enix has temporarily suspended operation of the SQUARE ENIX
ONLINE SHOP service during our investigation. The suspension will continue until we
complete our investigation and implement counter-measures. We will update you as we
learn more.
We always recommend that you monitor your credit cards and credit reports for any
suspicious activity.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience causedby the suspension of the SQUARE
ENIX ONLINE SHOP. We take data security extremely seriously and we regret any
inconvenience this may have caused our customers and fans. We appreciate your patience
and support at this time.

I hope that didn't affect us!

"Massive Simultaneous Disconnection" reminds me of the plot of Surrogates.

after 10 hours of work, 1 hour of driving one way, and now 4 hours of class, the maple syrup totally made me bust up. Thank you for getting me through until I get to log on tonight!

You're welcome. I was going to go with Mrs. Butterworth or Log Cabin, but I decided to go with a Canadian brand and hope that people would get it.
