So what, now verizon is blocked?

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Title. Never got 107 this many times.

[MegaRocker1987]

im guessing sega is blocking and unblocking isps in a carousel motion to see where the ddos came from or at least try to narrow it down somewhat xD so next twc will be blocked and then mine will probably work for a week or so :/ (cablevision / optimum online) but in the end well all lose or win the fight depending on what sega decides to do from here on out :/ tbh it feels like were on borrowed time as it is with this game :/

[Sychosis]

tracert gs016.pso2gs.net

[Z-0]

Yes, Verizon got blocked roughly two hours before the server came up.

[Lashette]

and TWC suddenly was able to connect right after that.

[ShinMaruku]

Well that proves that the chicken littles who were bitching, we just being stupid.:P

[Kirukia]

It appears that way. I get 107 any time I try to use the launcher, and I get 249 if I try to log in using Tweaker.

Honestly I feel this is probably the case.

TL;DR: Softbank IDC Frontier needs to fix their servers.

First off a tracert.

Trace complete.[/spoiler-box]

As you can see our connection is getting to Japan. Alter.net hands off to the kddi.jp which eventually hands off to IDC.JP. The problem is the connection is looping at the end.

The IP addresses respond also to IDC.JP even though they don't have DNS attached to them. Some sleuthing reveals these servers are for Softbank IDC Frontier which is a subsidiary of Yahoo Japan. Does anyone know someone that works at Yahoo that might be able to reach out to the Softbank group or can we have some JP friends reach out to Softbank directly? The best Verizon might be able to do is bounce our connection to another route so it doesn't go through Alter.net, and that doesn't guarantee we run into a new issue once done.

Please stop it.

There is nothing on 2ch/twitter. If what you're saying was true, we would still be seeing a lot of complaints.

All you're doing is confusing this poor community even more and we really don't want that...

Also, drop the act and type normally.

[PokeminMaster]

Kinda strange, but I'm able to connect again, at least after a couple tries... Anyone else with Verizon having luck???

I'm still getting 630'd periodically, but I can reconnect every few tries

[PrinceBrightstar]

Can you show us your tracert to gs016.pso2gs.net? That's the address for Ship 2.

[ArchAngel]

So I have Verizon and now I can connect to the game again after being unable to after last maintenance. So verizon users check if you can connect because I now can.

[PokeminMaster]

...Eh, I forgot I posted that here (went to visit my brother in the next state after posting that)

For future reference, what is a tracert and how do I find it...?

[Evangelion X.XX]

^Use Command Prompt and type tracert. Example, type:

tracert pso2.jp

It traces the route to the location.

Edit: Also, see

http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=220319&page=5

since it has a youtube video explaining what is tracert and how it works.

Ditto. I wasn't able to connect a few hours ago, but now I can.
I won't complain though. I was looking here to see if it was just me...nobody else had said anything lol.

[Kondibon]

I seem to be able to connect too. I hope it stays like this after the next maintinence.

can confirm the problem has been fixed with verzion customers .. im on now

[BahnKnakyu]

So what route is Verizon using now? Anyone got a tracert? I'm wondering if Verizon is also using leased lines from Japanese ISPs or something.

I think they don't have Verizon, but I am just guessing.

That would be correct. This whole IP ban business is interesting for me, kinda like a mystery to unravel since Sega isn't saying anything. I have a friend on Verizon FIOS but he's not here at the moment and I'm curious as to what route it's taking versus TWC's.

[ArcaneTechs]

you say we so i assume you have verizon as well but being lazy to do a tracert, thats why i said that

Just prepared.

[PrinceBrightstar]

It ain't over till the fat lady sings. They may have only opened them to do a quick test or Verizon may have simply found another route that could easily be blocked at the end of the maintenance.

Lol if we get blocked again. I'll just continue playing Tera till destiny comes out in sept.
