Stuck in game with 2002

Hoping someone can give some advice, or may know what we need to do. I've searched but have found nothing helpful.

My husband and I were queued up in the duty finder for PvP, after we accepted, started zoning in and DC'd. Now we are getting the 2002 error and can't log in.

A friend says we are still logged in though, and have been for over an hour. From what I have found, when you LD and are stuck in world you will usually get error 3102, not 2002. We have also tried going into the data center to change worlds, to see if we could make a new character, we can't do that either. Can't seem to get past the start up screen.

Any help or advice would be super greatly appreciated. :(

They are doing maintenance. This is a big issue a lot of people are having, including myself. Whoever thought it was a good idea to do maintenance on a Saturday night is a fool.

Thanks for the response. I just want to make sure I understand, they are performing maintenance without bringing the servers down, while people are still logged in? I ask because we seem to be the only ones in our FC having problems.

And I agree, Saturday night seems a very poor choice to do this.

It seems you are fine unless you enter or leave an instance, them wham.

Damn, alright, thanks. Have they given a completion window for when things will get back to normal?

The hilarious part is that they don't need to investigate, they just need to stop their maintenance and reschedule it for a time that makes sense.

Yup and not think that doing stuff to the login servers wouldn't cause login issues.
Umm, duh?

Thank you for the links Kaitlen.

This does suck though, was this maintenance even announced? I understand problems come up and they need to be fixed, and that they can't please everyone. I guess I am just butthurt that this is on a Saturday night, on a night that my husband and I both took off from work just so we could play together, and now that has gone to shit.

^ it made more sense in my head

It was on the launcher and stuff, but not ingame.

I guess I just didn't see it then, it still sucks though. Cause why not do this on Saturday night, I'm sure people who have to work all week and pay for subs don't plan to play on the weekend.

Ok guys, I am happy to report I am able to log in finally.

I was finally able to go to the character creation screen, and right before I confirm the new character, I backed out and was able to log in. This may work for some of you, I hope so.

Is there a way to force kick my player whom is still logged into the game even tho its really not?

you can try creating a new character on the same realm if there's no restriction at the moment, or you can log in another character that you might have on the realm already. You still will get the error message but after completely closing the client afterwards some players are able to log into their main characters. Just don't que for anything or you end up with the same issue again.

Luna thank you so much that worked perfectly. I logged in, selected my character, clicked on her to log in but clicked cancel. Closed Client. Than relaunched and BOOM I was in! Youre awesome!

Yeap that is exactly what I did, worked perfectly. Just can't queue anything up.
