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
