Sudden error 2002

I could play just fine until about 6 hours ago.
Got this error when trying to connect to the data center after pressing "Start" on the main menu. Is it really just crowded or are the DDOSers at it again?

I have tried turning off my firewall and resetting my router but I don't know how to unblock some ports on my router.

You're not the only one. I'm getting the same error.

Getting the error 2002 when trying to log onto Aether or Primal data centers. Look like there is no issue with other data centers.

Same here. My issue began late last night when I was 90k'd and tried to log back in. It only took 3-4 times to get back in, but I was just 90k'd during a dungeon and been attempting to connect to the data center for the last 20 minutes or so without any luck. It might not bother me so much if the 2002 error didn't close the effing client each time and require me to input my password and software token password again.

Still having the same 2002 error. I've been trying all day.

Well, great.

I've just submitted a ticket to them. Hopefully this will get fixed ASAP due to Savage released yesterday.

Submitted ticket as well, was playing just fine, until I logged out to eat dinner, come back and constant 2002. I can get into other data centers (JP/EU) just fine, but not any of the NA servers.

I've been having the same problem with Aether and Primal data centres for the past 9 hours, was worried it's just me :confused:
I'm able to connect to the other data centres

I'm having this issue as well, I tested all data centers and Primal and Aether are the only ones affected by this. I've tried everything to try and solve this problem and it's still not working. Please SE!!! HALP

Getting this 2002 error too. NA Datacenters only. I can connect to JP and EU data centers just fine but not Aether my home. Please help SE

Been having that issue since yesterday 7pm pst until today. Balmung Server.

I am also getting 2002 message while trying to log into Primal Data Center

I got back from work an hour ago and now I have to wait for this to be resolved

It would be nice if someone from SE would even acknowledge that this is a problem and let us know they're working on a fix.

I'm having this issue as well. UGH....

I was unable to log in 6 times in a row, but once I quit WTFast I was able to log in normally.

server connection lost constantly to Omega server (EU)

I finally just been able to log in but I had to disable my WTFast.

Wow, that's weird. We have completely opposite problem. I guess I have to contact WTFast support.

I can confirm that as soon as I quit my VPN I could log in normally as well to Primal Data Center.

also having this problem, got d/c and when I tried to log back in at like 10:45 pm est got lobby connection error 2002 i can log into my character on cactaur but not my main on Hyperion.

I'm also having this issue, and only while using WTFast service. Considering my lag is quite nasty without this service lately, this issue is quite frustrating. Aether data center for me.

WTFast is causing 2002 problem.
Disable it and log in

I had that issue two days straight. With WTFast and normally log in. I checked servers status and didn't see Balmung in the list or active online servers. This morning I checked list and Balmung was up, I was able to log in no problem. Maybe it got fixed? I was worried about my garden and only had one casualty do to it ; ;...what a waste of a blood pepper.

I just tried picking the WTFast servers manually and I was able to connect, not letting WTFast pick the optimal server for now

I had no trouble at all last night, but back to the same issue this morning. I'm also running WTFast, so it seems like it's their issue. PvE is impossible without a VPN, so I thought I was stuck but went in and manually selected my server like Chigo suggested and got right in.

I correct my previous post:

You can still log in using WTFast. You have to manually select the server, as someone above mentioned.

When you start the launcher and select your game from the list, just check the "manually choose a server" option and then choose "sort by ping". The best choice should be the lowest ping or the lowest ping that is closest to the data center (Los Angeles).

WTFast improves my gameplay experience vastly, I would like an statement of SE if they plan on fixing the issue that hasn't been present before the current patch.

Or is this a counter measure to keep non NA players from playing on NA servers?
