There are a few temporary strategies they could implement to help the congestion without impacting the whole server and one of them is to adjust the AFK timer.

What has been happening is that people sometimes enter an instance and immediately gets logged off. But the problem is that their character remain in the instance and registered as AFK, in essence getting stuck in limbo while the player themselves are logged off. So when they try to login with that character they are unable to because while the server registers that the player is logged off, the character is in a sort of AFK mode and won't be released from the instance until the AFK timer (30 mins) runs out, the instance timer runs out or your party members kick you; whichever comes first. Problem with the battle instances is that you don't have the third option of having your party members kick you. As a result you're unable to login until one of the timers run out but worse still is that your character is probably hogging the instance as that is happening and preventing other people from going in since you've taken up the quota.

For these periods of high congestion I think it is fair enough for SE management to adjust the AFK timer from the 30 mins to 10 or even 5 mins. If you're going to AFK in these busy times for so long, you can log back in when you're ready to play. This way instances can be freed up much faster in the event that people get dc. Also lets people log back in much faster instead of getting endless 90002 errors...

Yeah, agreed they need to tighten the AFK timer, however as you said there is this instance of desynch occurring: World server reports offline and instance reports online, this desynch is worsened by the congestion... The quickest 'fix' I would think is for those who have alternate characters or the capability to make another character, would be to get on that one and post an in-game ticket, GM's have the power to move 'stuck' characters from server to server.

None of that lol just standing, i had killed some buzzards but i doubt that made me d/c

Tried to do the level 50 class quest. 90002 error over and over when trying to login that character. Verified through a friend online that my character was still showing in game.

Your character is still logged in the instance server even though the world server registered you logging off/dc. You can't login until the instance server releases your character either through the AFK timer running out, instance timer running out or your character dying in the instance.

I'm getting this too. Tried to do a class quest, was disconnected, and now getting 90002 while trying to login. Web chat is, as one might expect, reporting a very lengthy delay around 250. Heck, I'm not even sure they can even help me.

I was farming Shiva ex and got the 90k loop. Sucks, I really wanted that Katana. I was 55 runs in and only saw it twice >.<

Kicked out after I tried to DF, cant log back in the game.

Meeee tooo. I'm stuck on my main for the lvl 50 solo RDM quest AND my alt on one of the HW solo quests. :<

I had the same issue while working on level 64 MSQ. After watching the cutscene i lost connection and am unable to log back in. After waiting in que I get disconnected with a 90002 error when the que reaches 0.

IF this bug happens to you and you are able to log back in, know that you are forever unable to enter any instances and you will cause everyone in your party to DC as well. I have tried to enter POTD with my guild many times and it never works. However, when they go without me, everyone gets in just fine. Something is glitched with your character and I don't know what it is.

Sorry to reply to myself, but I was eventually able to log back in. Still there needs to be a remedy to this other than wait an indeterminate amount of time and hope you get back in.

If you manage to get back in, be sure not to run another dungeon. I've done this 5 times and have been d/c each time. It has something to do with the character as you will cause others to d/c as well. Not sure what it is but now its just stuck.

I got the 90002 error, and now it keeps putting me through a queue and then it just gives me the error again like a cycle. Just trying to get red mage up to level 60 through palace of the dead...

If you want this resolved potentially more quickly, make an in-game GM petition -- Eeven if you make it on a diff char or a brand new char on a diff server (for those using entry sub) they will still be able to help release or forcefully teleport your char to a safe place, trying to go though a friends account wont work, they will only do it if its from the account with the affected character.

Same 90002 Zalera and normally never had this issue till early access. This is nuts. I may not buy the expansion now.

Why was this fixed over 2 hours ago on the JP servers but still an issue for NA/EU?

Because reasons.
Yeah, I've been stuck for an hour, can't log in, can't leave the instance queue. If it would let me withdraw I'd do other things in-game until the backlog dies down.
How SE didn't expect congestion, after the problems they had with ARR and HW, is beyond me. They're either in denial, or just CBA.
