(30002) error as soon as I log in

4 times in a row so far, probably would have been more if I didn't have to wait 10 minutes before my character was removed from the server each time >.<

Did you try moving the ffxiv folder in your user folder to your desktop?

no, but I'll give it a try

Any way of fixing this yet?

*bumps*

can't play the game, dc after 10 seconds of entering the game. Only happens on my main character though, not my other 2. And no I'm not going to waste my time on leveling the other characters :P

Does anyone know a quickfix atleast? please lol

Did you try my suggestion yet?

I tried what I think you meant, but you didn't give any direct path, did you mean this folder;

C:\Users\MattyWS\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV\

or another?

Yup, that's the one.

Didn't work, cause the update check to fail before I could even log in.

You need to run the config again after you move that folder.

Here's a temporary fix that worked for me. I just tried logging in this morning and got a (30002) error again instantly, so I guess I need to do the temp fix again >.<;

Adjust something in the FFXIV config file and save. (can change it back and save again)

Log back in.

I will try the folder thing now, but I can't try changing areas and logging out due to the fact that it dc's me with that error before I can do anything (even using return).. brb with an answer

Still dc's. although it let me in-game for about 3 seconds longer >.>

If you take your computer to a friend I bet it will work. According to my google research SE just hates some ¿internets? and kills connections exactly after 10min or right away xD
It seems to be a network-related problem on SE's end, unless you have some problem with your internet which I highly doubt.

edit:
Try forwarding ports 3993 and 3994.

I dont think port forwarding is the answer, as this only just started happening about a week after the 1.18 patch, happens 10 seconds in (I can talk to ls members and they can see my writing). Not only that, but I can log in to other characters on my account and they work fine with no DC.. I want to play my main character but it's the only one out of 3 characters that has the dc'ing issue.

This seems to be a connection issue and forwarding the ports should prevent your router from firewalling them, which might enhance the connections quality.

Thanks for the help, didn't need to forward ports, logged in just fine today >.> wasted hours trying to figure out something that fixes on it's own.
