The DDoS problem in Final Fantasy XIV continues, though slightly differently. The reports are now that the North American data center is the sole one affected. Players trying to do important stuff like craft items with high value materials should use one of the Oceanic servers. Having lost materials due to a DDoS incident makes me wish I'd heard the advice before.
The word that players could do something on their own to mitigate the DDoS attacks is fairly new. I first heard of the advice on Christmas Eve. I had a little time because Square Enix performed an emergency maintenance Wednesday night. The maintenance finished an hour early but that just meant I could log in at 3am instead of 4am. I didn't wake up that early on Christmas Day.
Following the information from a Mr Happy video I wound up on X following an account.
Another update. ExitLag Los Angeles still going strong. Cloudflare WARP also doing well. I culled any nodes with less than 2 reports because thats essentially no data. Keep reporting after each DDoS please! https://t.co/OieTLSo9Lr pic.twitter.com/wwlSn4e0QQ

Square Enix did post on the Lodestone the attacks ended Christmas afternoon. But if I do experience a server-wide event kicking me out of the game again I may try logging in again via a VPN. Los Angeles seems like a workaround although I might try an option out of New Mexico. At least I might have an option now going into the future.
