Final Fantasy XIV servers suffering DDoS attacks
While the attacks have resulted in log-in difficulties over the past few days, Square Enix said in a statement that both personal customer information and character data "are not in danger of being exposed".
The firm added on Wednesday morning: "Currently we are experiencing DDoS attacks from an anonymous third-party targeting the Final Fantasy XIV game servers on the NA/EU data center.
"Due to this attack, our game servers, network equipment and network connection are being hit with heavy load at an extensive level, which is causing a disconnection from the game and login difficulties.
"Our technical staff is taking every possible measure to address this issue but the attack is still continuing to take place by changing their methods at every moment. We will continue to monitor and work on recovery from every possible angle.
"We apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing."
The first expansion for A Realm Reborn, titled Heavensward, was announced in October. Set for release in spring 2015, it will introduce a new playable race, add brand-new jobs and increase the level cap to 60, among other features.

In my opinion, DDoSing is for pathetic low lives that have nothing better to do with their lives.
