Pretty funny. I was all prepared to get a mansion, logged on the very second the servers became available...5006 error. Five times. Made even better by the fact that, for some reason, the entire game has to close for it.
An error I've never experienced before in my entire life of playing FF14, and it shows up literally at the worst possible moment.
I'm just curious to know how many of you all got screwed over by this unforeseen error that nobody could have predicted happening.
Even my friends who started the game after me got in-game before me...after 5 errors, I ended up in 800+ queue. Maybe next time, right? Nothing but "Tough luck," as so many people get locked out of certain content because they don't even have a house, because the system is atrocious and errors make it worse.
Guess they'll just have to sit tight for another 6 months-a year for more housing plots, or Ishgard housing. Can we have more plots, please?
How many of you guys got screwed by error 5006?

I got the error 4 times, and ended up in a queue of about 390. I didn't get the plot that I wanted, but I still managed to secure the last mansion that was available in LB. Funny because people speculated the smalls would go instantly but on the ward I purchased they were there for a good while, but the large and mediums went so fast.

I got the error 5 times and then had to wait with almost 2k people ahead of me. . . A horrible experience.

Had it twice and then was in queue behind 1,892 others. At that point I knew everything had gone to hell already.
Luckily I snagged a personal house around 2 weeks ago and was logging to help my FC nab one.
They didn't, so I just donated mine to them, which was the main reason why I bought it.
I saw this problem coming a mile away, as well as many others did. -

I got it 5 times, my co-FC leader did not experience it. We were voice chatting. Then after finally connecting to the data centre I was 1218 in queue, a third FC was also trying to get in at the same time (going after a personal small). She was got 4 times and ended up almost exactly 300 spaces behind me in the queue.
Luckily for us, my co-leader was able to get in queue quickly and we managed to acquire a Large house in the Goblet. It took me nearly 18 minutes to successfully login. -

I was working together with my friend in an effort to try and secure a house. I pressed the green button literally half a second after her. She got into a queue at 86 and just barely snagged me the small plot I wanted, meanwhile I was thrown into a 1300ish queue after getting 5006'd 2-3 times. Apparently every single plot was sold out before I even got half way through it. I was lucky for the fact I had her. I honestly wasn't expecting the scenario to be 'this' bad. I'm sorry to everyone else who wasn't quite as lucky.

I got it 4 times. It put me at 1,280 in line. I missed housing. One of the rare drawbacks to being on a high pop server.

Logged on the second servers went live. Was ejected a mere minute afterward during a load, and was simply unable to log back in during a 2000+ wait.

Got the error as well 5 times, but was stuck in a 2000+ queue after, which made waste around 5+ more minutes. Beside me and another, who got as well errors, the others in my guild in TeamSpeak got in the game and said they got their house except for the two of us who got errors. By the time I finally got ingame, most of the houses were gone. One officer said there were a few smalls in The Goblet, but by the time I ported to Ul' Dah they were gone.

Same, got the error 3-4 times, and then was met by the 2000+ queue, it took me over 20 minutes to login. There were still two large plots on Balmung at the time in the Goblet. I thought for sure I'd at least be able to log in and compete for a spot, nope. Poor execution SE.

I started with a queue of 200 and would have had a chance at a house except I got an error the second I got into the game and then I was in a 2.5k queue and once I finally got into the game all houses were gone. Balmung could have honestly used 5x the amount of houses and as others have said limit one house per account. They say it costs money to add more housing? well they won't have mine anymore. I've played since 1.0 but I guess it's my time to go.

Um, may I mention there's still housing available? You just gotta switch servers. To Mateus. Pics taken within the past half hour.

Got it about 6 times I think then got dropped in a 600 queue on Odin.
Desperately asked on voice chat if a guildie that did manage to log in and get the house if there where still spots left in my favorite zone, while the queue was ticking down.
After logging in checked the wards picked the one with most spots left.
Ported in went straight for the sub division. Saw that there was still a medium plot up in the top area (lavender plot 60) thank god I remembered the aetherite name my old plot was the small one across the road.
After the port I actually ran in a circle for a couple of seconds just trying to get my bearing on the zone because its slightly rotated. Mounted up fully expecting the plot to be taken because someone ran towards me on a mount but when I got there it was blissfully empty so instantly snatched it up.
What I did notice was that quite some people where just standing in front of the pots but not yet buying them untill people actually ran up to them. Was pretty childish tbh. -

Sadly. I logged in immediately as the server came up, and I had the 5006 login error 4 times in a row, and finally got in on my 5th try logging in.. only to meet a 2500 person queue. All houses were sold out on Balmung when I was at 1000 in the queue. :(

Got lobby error when initially logging in to shiva. Still got the medium plot in lavender beds that I wanted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

06-09-2016, 12:32 PMsaberchicToo bad I can't transfer with all my money. If this is the state of some wards on other servers, they should move those to the higher populated servers.Quote:

My in-game husband and a couple of friends were planning on sharing a medium, and everything got snatched up so fast he was about to just purchase a small and errored out at the worst possible second.
