i finally was able to get in. What I did was log in to one of my Japanese server characters, logout and then log back in to my Coeurl character. Yes!

That's what I did for a while when i kept getting kicked a while back when the server thought I was idle and was not. Then I decided to get my subscription back because I got a PS4 and also was missing the game.

Now since I can't go on Aether I thought ''o hey, I'll just go make a character on Primal, got friends on Diabolos!''...

... only to realize that not a single World on Primal accepts new characters.

Welp, guess that's that. Couple days before subscription ends, gonna wait a couple months and see if they get their things together and maybe come back.

What are you talking about? I made an Au Ra alt on Lamia just this morning.

Yeah the only reason I am still subbed is because Id miss my friends and i play with family members.

Didn't even get to play today because of this error... Im really upset, all the hype and money for congested servers and not allowing paying customers to enjoy the service.

I haven'T even managed to log in since maintenance. We're tuesday... This is kinda lame.

I'm talking about tonight, not this morning. Tried to make an alt for fun on Diabolos, then saw it didn't accept character creation, went down the list of worlds on Primal and... well none did. Lucky you?

I know how you feel! I have a family member (sister) that travels a lot and sometimes this is the only way I can talk to her. I wish I could find someone to continuously play with. My sister can't play a lot and this game sometimes gets boring when playing by yourself.

Id say switch snd come play with us but these errors sucks!

Is it wrong to hope the mad rush of the real release crushes their servers into dust so someone's intellectual pilot light fires back up and they actually separate the big two? This isn't 'normal' launch issues. This is poor planning from a long time ago that is coming back to bite them in the rear. Yes big queues are normal. Yes we expect lag and dc's and maybe even a lobby error or two but the game is literally inaccessible to huge portions of Aether without playing Russian roulette for hours on end. Now the rest of the population is coming along with all the people they are throwing free goodies at. Wanna take bets how many of the returnee's will be on Aether? Is the business plan to drive off new players and returning ones alike? Heck at this point they are driving off loyal, long time players who don't want to sit on their hands for weeks listening to weak apologies.

Yes. Yes I'm bitter.

My only expectation is for SE to give me my registration code and I put it on mog station. If I actually log on it will be a miracle XD

Took me 10 tries. Just keep at it.
On Midgardsormr

It's been a struggle for me. Usually takes half an hour of login to connect to aether.. Tonight? No such luck.
Primal server seems to be working better.

I might pay for the relocation. The server I am on always acts up. For pete sake the server has been up since launch! They should have experience!

That would be awesome! We would love to have you. They need to fix this damn congestion issue!

How do you think early access went, SE? Because this is how we'll always remember it.

Free server transfers to low population worlds. Gil's not a big issue - buy up high value goods before you go; you might even make a profit if you create an alt over there first and check out the MB.

I can see it not being attractive to FCs with housing in place, but there are a lot of us without housing that would be happy to help by leaving. For free.

Personally, I only butted heads with error 2002/5006 2-3 times tops before it let me in. Not sure if switching to the other data centers and back really helped, but...

Then my actual queue times for Sargatanas were never worse than 20-30 in line, so maybe a minute tops waiting there. After that, I never got disconnected or errored out. So I'm not sure that the entirety of the problem was at the front gate, and not partly to do with specifically over-crowded servers.

Overall though, my personal experience during the early access was far better than ARR's early access/launch, where I'd end up not being able to play at all for a day or more.

Primal data center has started throwing lots of 90002s and 2002s now. I haven't failed to get back in yet, but Lamia had a queue of 89 last time. Oy vey!

Don't worry once people start coming home from work, the RNG will be real. :[

Just had all 4 members of Fractal Continuum d/c at the same time. Finally get back through the errors and we've all been kicked from what the game assumes is an empty instance, from the final boss. . .

Probably best to just take a break from the game for a couple weeks and wait for this to die down.

Can't blame you. SE should take note of people with that attitude also. How many of those people who take a break waiting for it to calm down wind up doing something else all together?
