Final Fantasy XIV: DDoS Attack

Square Enix explained that the attack began around 6am, Monday, May 6, and they started working on a solution and countermeasure right away. This DDoS attack caused issues with logging in, sending/receiving data, and disconnecting from European, American, Japanese, and Oceania FFXIV data centers. The DDoS attack comes after fans’ negative feedback, over the graphical update that makes characters have lifeless looks in their eyes.

Final Fantasy XIV: Moogle Treasure Trove ─ The Second Hunt for Genesis

Square Enix announced the return of the Moogle Treasure Trove in Final Fantasy XIV, starting on May 14, 2024. You’ll have to collect Irregular Tomestones of Genesis II by completing specific duties and exchanging them with itinerant Moogles for a host of treasures, including accessories and mounts.
