Was wondering last night why it kept taking 30-60sec to teleport to different areas. Wonder if this was why!
- Definitely a possibility! A DDoS attack basically floods the servers with more information than they can process in real time, so the time it would take for any action to receive a response back from the server would be longer on account of the extra traffic.
  
  Any idea why they are targeting FFXIV?

DDoS Part 2 Electric Boogaloo. If they bring the servers down does this count as a calamity?
