Latest Update

[Tes]

Still no real new information. They're still trying to get things working properly. I still can't access PSO2 site. I could after the servers went live again and then i've not been able to for about 30 hours or so, so i can't translate and put in the new information.

Chrome translate:

"We are promoting the adjustment on the implementation of various apologize and corresponding purchase of the AC [follow-up] now, we have stopped. Sorry the inconvenience, but please wait for further news."

I still think it's going to be Tuesday or Wednesday before the service is stable enough to get us back online properly. Shall have to wait and see. One thing I have pondered, as from day one i've not been on ther ban bandwagon. If they're struggling so hard to get their own servers stable do you really think they could dedicate the resources and manpower to launching huge scale IP bans or ISP bans which are utterly inconsistent with some people on same ISPs able to connect and others can't?

But eh whatever, logic seems to have failed most of the inhabitants here. Personally i'm fine to just wait until everything is back up and running properly.

Hoorah, someone with some sense speaks. Wimbledon is on the telly, I'm just gonna watch attractive eastern European girls run around in short skirts and when I get bored of that I'll watch Metallica at Glastonbury on Iplayer.

Thanks for the update. At least I've got Sniper Elite 3(X-Ray shots make for excellent stress relief) and Shovel Knight to hold me over in the meantime.

Edit: translated

Spoiler!

Since that translation seems to be from google translate, its almost impossible to make out the details, so, as they are mentioning something about 107-error and not receiving emails with authentication codes, could someone translate that part properly?

I have found the reasons for the connectivity issues and passed on the information to Aida

Now you're just being a tease.

Well, would you believe someone like me or Aida, who is awesome :P lol

Well, okay - this is what I found out from Comcast, I also asked a few networking specialists for some information and from the data I gathered myself and summed it all up.

Basically, someone in these forums was 100% correct. It IS a backbone provider issue, some of the backbone providers are null routing the IPs that are going to PSO2.JP because of the DDOS attack, and because the attack is still on-going they'll continue to block the traffic to protect the infrastructure. This is the reason why many players from around the world are getting error 107 and 249, it is also proof that there isn't any IP Ban or Block in place by SOJ and it is more than reasonable to assume once the attack ends, the routing issue might be restored giving everyone access again.

Right now, there is two DDOS attacks occuring - one Large one targeting the US and another smaller one targetting the UK. These are probably not helping the situation either.

I posted the global tracerts to PSO2, and that showed somewhat of a pattern of connectivity which leads even more evidence towards the blackhole routing, same with people posting infinite loop tracerts.

Basically, right now - There is a glimmer of hope that it'll be business as usual for everyone soon as the attack ends or significantly weakens.
