Error [2002] the lobby server connection has encountered an error

[Teglerd]

NA Data Center: Aether
Server: Balmung



I was able to log in and play with no problems last night. I get through the launcher fine but can't get into the lobby to select my character. I've been trying to log on for about an hour and continue to receive this error. I'm able to get into other data centers to create other characters so I think there are problems server side...

I've checked my firewall, restarted my computer, checked msconfig settings, etc.

played this morning, got dc-ed few times, then the lobby error. Can't get to character selection screen now (error 2002) for the past hour or so. Tried everything (even manual port forwarding) but no success. Last 3 months everything was ok, this is the first time something like this happened (to me).
Same PC, did no changes to OS or install new software/hardware, and did not add any new device that would use the router (for the last week). Connection speed is 15MB/s ( around 2Mb/s) and it works fine when i try to download something/surf the net.

P.S. Played last night, everything was ok.

Three days can not go to the game because of this error. For what we pay money? For this kind of error? Return the money, and that seems to steal!

I'm on Odin and I had the same thing happen. Got the notirous 90k first, then logged back in again - another 90k. And now I can't even seem to connect to the Data server anymore... Error 2002.

There seems to be a problem with the Level3 route right now. It's not on SE's end.
