Can you possibly give us an update on the 90000 error causing this problem?

I'm linking a post I made in another thread for more visibility:

Pulling the latest tracert though, I show now that I'm actually routing though an entirely different path (though it's the same company). I'm actually being routed to Seattle, California, then to New York, and finally Montreal. The route path has changed and looks to be my main driver and source of latency. This change over must have occurred during the one hour maintenance last night, or some time between 4AM and 10AM MST. I've provided the tracert and ping tests for verification below.

Square; Are you going to open another trouble ticket with TATA or should I? Either way is fine.

UPDATE 13:08MST 9/20/13:

I was finally able to log back in after the NA/EU lobby timeouts. Once I was able to secure the connection, I immediately ran a tracert to see if any back end work was being performed. It looks like there was. Instead of being routed through the New York nodes (see above), I am back to the Chicago routes (I normally experience low, if any, latency through the Chicago hops).

Square; TATA seems pretty inept at keeping stable and clear port routes. You may want to look into another rack provider if/when your service contract expires with them (just not rackspace for the love of God). Also, in the spirit of transparency, can one of your team members (preferably a Sr. Systems Admin) confirm that back end work is taking place and possibly provide the open ticket number logged with TATA?

If need be, I can provide historical trace routes, digs, pings, and whois over the past month or so.

UPDATE 14:43MST 9/20/13:

I was able to log in and join an instance server. While the instance was running, I was running concurrent trace routes and ping checks. I thought that there may be an off chance that once the client switches to an instance partition, that the route tables would change. Oddly, they did not. They remained the same for me. So, we know a few things:

1.) It's not location based (I'm on the West Coast. East Coast users are being affected as well).
2.) It's not host related (Square isn't changing the IP's when you jump into an instance).
3.) It's not affecting all users (users who route though Chicago are fine).
4.) It's not an ISP or local network related issue (Well, YOUR ISP or network that is).
5) All users that are/were affected were switching on the New York node (Best guess. All tracert info I saw on other users all have one thing in common. They are dropping packets at an alarming rate on the NY hops).

So, without having an SSH into their nodes and admin ruby/console command access, I can say the issue is narrowed down to the NY hop owned by TATA. If I was the Systems Admin, I would be focusing on that specific set of switches and checking for corrupted caches, port overloading, hardware issues, etc. I would also temporarily reroute ALL traffic away from my node to another until I figured out what the problem is and got it corrected.

wow, i love that your your doing Squares work for them.

Getting the list to update isn't the problem anymore.... I can log in just fine, it's staying in without lagging, freezing, or getting R0 and getting kicked right back out.

So for me it's not fixed, congrats to those that have it working again, but this shouldn't even be an issue..... they need to fix all these problems, maintenance after maintenance, it's absolutely ridiculous.

Anywho /rant over, guess I'll keep trying. ~_~;;

I've thought about sending an Invoice over to their offices. But I do it more to help out and educate the community though. The more transparency there is, the happier people are in general. Even if there is a problem, people just want to be kept in the loop.

Same issue here I get in 3seconds later error 90000 or one of the many other errors I'm just trying to get into my inn room then I will give up till later least then I will get rested exp :(

I've been trying to get into my inn room as well, no such luck, I just keep getting kicked out.

There was an update from SE saying the login issues were fixed, amazing, because I'm still not seeing my characters show up half the time..... I guess I'll keep trying to enter my Inn, and hope for a REAL fix sometime soon.

I really appreciate it, it really is nice to know what is actually going on, just thought I'd let you know that there's someone who appreciates that effort you put into putting the issues out and the reason as to why they are happening.

You, madam, deserve a medal for being exponentially more helpful than I was.

Sorry guys just new here.. just want to ask if the NA/EU servers are region blocked? cuz i'm here now in saudi arabia and the only server showing is JP (Japan) and it's waaaay far from saudi arabia compared to the EU server.. I waited for the whole night just to make a new character and obviously i didn't make it cuz i was scared of making it in the JP server rather than in NA/EU server. anyone can enlighten me on this.. thanks :D

I don't think its region blocked (not 100% sure ofc)
i live in Egypt and i see all the servers, i used to have the same problem in the first week of release, but after increasing their server capacity maintenance, its stable.
So im guessing that they are having an issue with their servers and lobby and its a matter of time.
