Also, it's not happening for everyone, just the big servers. You knew you were playing on the most populated server on the game and you expected 100% smooth launch? Fucking duh...

Lol people complaining so hard, you'd think it was their first time playing an MMO. Bit annoyed since I was getting the hang of AST, but oh well @_@

Another one for Balmung ...

I can't believe the Archbishop's eyebrows broke Balmung :(

Chaos Datacenter, likewise

Populationism!

Happening here as well on Balmung. 2002 with the occasional 5006 to give things a change of pace. I think a bard used their new lb on the server. ;)

Nah it was probably a dragoon.

BOOM head shot :P balmung having a bad first day :P

Of course this happens no more than 10 minutes after I'm finally able to play :p Oh well though, here's to hoping this gets fixed relatively quick.

Too many people turned into Lizards. Servers are racist. #LALAPOWER

Come on...we all know it was Alphinaud's fault. Little bastard is always doing shady crap.

I understand that congestion is happening. I know that we're effectively DDoSing the server trying to get in
But for the love of all that is good and holy: Lobby Server Errors closing the client is NOT OKAY. Kick us back to the "Start, Data Center, Movies, Configuration, Exit" menu yeah sure. But stop making us log in and put in a security code every time it errors out.

Lmao. I took a short break.. Bad idea, apparently. Come back and you guys broke the server!

All good. When it's back up, I'm going on a binge to level my Machinist.

I have to agree. the lobby server error shouldn't kick you out entirely, merely throw you back to the start screen

How long did it take for them to resolve the Balmung issue this morning?

So we can all DDoS the login server faster? Pretty sure it kicks people out of the game to try and relieve congestion. Make you go "Whats error 2002?" ... to go forums, google, etc. Instead of spamming the login server :p

Nah, dragoons are used to actually LBing now and then. Poor bards... this is one of the first times they've actually had a chance to use it.

I certainly hope that this gets resolved quickly...though seeing as its a congestion issue...I'm only checking to see if its back up every ten minutes. The DDoS issue would only add to salt to the proverbial wound. However, to the individual seanpatience2345 or whatever your screen name is..keep your DUH's to yourself. I think I am entitled to be a litte pissed off at SE for getting us all hyped up for the expansion..and then on the first day have an issue like this. Its lala's like you that deserve to get stepped on at the Steps of Faith.

Finally got past the 5006/2002 hell more just waiting on the queue.

Had a 90002 followed by a 2002 error, and flushing my DNS cache fixed it.

https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html

Nope this helps

Same here...okay...actually..this is a good time for Square to evaluate the need to make more servers I think....

Square has plenty of servers. Mateus is empty, feel free to move there?

Thanks Khaelia, your suggestion of flushing the DNS worked for me as well. Anyone else stuck with 2002 should try that :)

Flushed DNS, restarted PC, nothing. Can't get on Aether.

100% agree with the Flush DNS Cache. Apparently there is a fiber line issue on the east coast of the US which may be interfering with how your IP is routing or something like that. good luck all!!!

There are plenty of other servers with plenty of space. You're just on a popular server. Want to deal with this kind of issue less? Change servers.

It didn't work for me at first either. This is what I did to get back to the character login screen:
1) Flush your DNS
2) Restart PC
3) Log onto a different Data Center on an alt character. This forces your character to log off immediately from your previous Data Center. This is what I normally do when I get 90k error and can't log back into the game immediately. Log off.
4) Try joining your main character's Data Center.

Hope it works for you!

This worked, I think the trick is when you go to a different data center you need to LOG IN to a character on that server. I was just switching back and forth without logging into the actual game. Thanks, now I just have to wait in queue.

Got 90001 and out to start the 2002 attempting to connect to data center.

Got back to datacenter quick enough just stuck in the queue from hell.

I don't believe it has something to do with this -- maybe for select individuals -- it has to be something with the circumstances of your last login. I had logged in fine previously and once the crash at 4 hit I have been unable to get past the lobby error.

When I do miraculously get by the error I sit in an endless Character Queue Loop that counts too 1 then stays this way forever.

I have also tried flushing my internal DNS althought rather than just running ipconfig /flushdns I suggest some people attempt using the following method to FOR SURE clear their cached DNS.

Run Command Prompt in Administration then:

1. netsh winsock reset
2. netsh interface ipv4 reset
3. netsh interface ipv6 reset
4. ipconfig /flushdns
5. Reset your Computer

Hope those steps fix other peoples issues.

Maybe its just Aether having these issues then. Im on Aether as well and this is happening to me. I keep hearing someone will enter another server though and it works fine. I could be wrong though.

LOL I cant even connect to another data center

I can get into the queue, but it always says there are 48 people and keeps like refreshing itself with the same number. I am on Balmung.

That is what I am assuming. My wife was able to connect to the server just fine and she is sitting next to me, but we have a friend of our on a SatConn experiencing the Character Queue of Death like me as well.

I pay, but no play what a welcome back hehehe, reminds of my old eq2 days. :cool:

Same here on Gilgamesh, yet my friend logs straight in and gets in no problem.

I guess they simply dont care as there has not been a word on any of these problems being fixed

Flushed my DNS, was able to log in no problem
