2002 Disconnects and Queue Lengths
Compiled some rough potential correlations over the past few days for Exodus log-ins. If the queue is somewhere under 2000, waiting is possible (but it will take 1.5+ hours to get through that many). If the queue is somewhere near 3000-4000, then waiting will result in a 2002 disconnect at some point. I'm assuming the queue is higher than that when I try later in the evening and can't even get the character screen to load, lobby server error happens before even selecting character to play.
As far as times go - before noon EST you can get in. At 5pm EST you might get an under-2000 queue that might let you on. Any later in the evening, forget it. Totally unplayable for folks with 9-5 jobs.
Square - please boost your lobby server capacity so that at least we don't get error'd out. I lived through 2hr+ queues with WoW, I can live through them with FFXIV, but not if every attempt results in a failure and reset.
