The lobby server has encountered an error 3050

So I payed 14 euro to transfer my 50 from Behemoth (NA) to Tonberry (JP) post 2.16 patch today because i play from australia and iv'e heard the latency is better on Japan servers. However when i try to log in with my newly transferred character i get " the lobby server has encountered an error 3050" over and over, and consequently can't get in. Its extremely frustrating as i have payed for this service and i cant even play on that character. Anyone else experiencing this? I thought this issue was solved ages ago :/

I got the exact same problem. Transferred just minutes ago, received the confirmation mail and can't log in. Error 3050.

error 3050 here also...after transfer :x

Effected characters : Alphard Alshua, Aisha Alshua, Asciel Alshua

(World transfered characters, all had name changes to these names)

I am currently going through the same thing. I just successfully completed a world transfer application and all, but when I go to log into the game after selecting my character on my new world, I get error 3050 instantly.

updated bump!

Same here. Transferred today, waited for the mail and everything. When that came, i had to go and rename a retainer, tried getting in and got served 3050 pretty much instantly.

Same here and i see there is another thread with the 3050 lobby error going on for people that have not done a transfer

Exact same thing happened to me!!. Put the transfer in with One ^^^^^^ Got the confirmation email, renamed character, and cant get in because of 3050. Been trying for the last 7 hours :(

Bump.. so I talked to live support and they said anybody with this error is getting it because the transfer hasn't been completed on Square Enix's end , regardless of the email that we recieved, and that maximum wait time is 24 hours

Well, that may suck, but at least that's a reasonable answer. Gonna wait until tomorrow afternoon then. It better be fixed by then.

I am dealing with the same problem. I transferred a character from Aegis to Balmung. At 9:59am CST this morning when I got completion of purchase email, got completion of world transfer email at 10:00am. It is 5:00pm now and I'm still getting 'The Lobby server has encounted an error 3050'.

I contacted customer support, they responded in email saying they couldn't help me and gave me SE CS phone number. I called that and talked to a gentleman. After speaking with other representatives he said this is a known issue and to just hope for a probable fix in the next 24-48 hours.

I don't believe it is a SE server side delay in character transfer since I got the email saying it was complete. The rep also never mentioned anything like this.

Need this to get fixed so that I can play my account. I hope there is a hotfix or quick patch incoming.

well, it's up now. 12 hours delay.
