Getting in the Game

The lobby server connection has encountered an error. 2002[/B][/B]


Been getting it after the 2014/05/02 maintenance

Also having the same problem. Error 2002 connecting to US/EU Data Centers. No error when attempting to connect to JP Data Centers.

Was fine from 3am till 8ish.. got kicked out and can't reconnect

Was in this morning until 7:48 PDT when I left to drop kids off @ School, now not avail, same issues as above.

Leviathan World
NA Data

Same here. I can't log in anymore. I can't get past the version check.

Yep same thing here. Was playing for an hour this morning, got disconnected from the server, and now can't get back in. Sometimes can't get past the version check, just like the last maintenance where they were having "congestion" issues. Most of the time I can get into and past the launcher though, but when I hit start it times out and gives the 2002 error.

On top of that, it seems everything related to Lodestone/FFXIV forums is painfully slow loading up. Rest of the internet/other games are fine so I'm confident it's not my internet connection or anything.

Same issue, Aether -> Sargatanas

Same issue here. I can get past the launcher (painfully slow, stays black awhile), I can click "Start", it sits on "Connecting To Server" forever and then boots me with a "Error 2002, The lobby server connection has encountered an error." The one time that I did get to the character screen I promptly got 90k'd. -__-;

NA Server -> Gilgamesh.

Also noticing that the forums/lodestone are super slow/unresponsive and are sometimes taking multiple refreshes to get content to display.

I tried again after waiting a couple hours, and it seems to be working now and forums/Lodestone are back to normal

Also resolved for me.
