Final Fantasy XIV remains one of the most popular MMOs in the world, with a huge and dedicated player base. Even within my own family, I have seen how easy it is to sink thousands of hours into Square Enix’s long-running online RPG.
However, US-based players attempting to take part in the newly released savage raid tier (Arcadion: Heavyweight Division) are running into serious problems. Since the eight-player savage content went live, North American servers have been repeatedly disrupted by ongoing DDoS attacks, causing players to be disconnected mid-content, lose progress, and face repeated queue times when trying to rejoin.
