Error code: 2002

I was about to zone out of my inn in Ul'dah. First I get the 90k'd. So I close out completely. I try to log in now, I am getting the following: "The lobby server connection has encountered an error." 2002

Same here. Got 90k, then 2002. But I also managed to get to char selection but then I get 1017 before even seeing my char.
Also the forums are slooooow!

Forums is crashing. If it is not crashing, it is very very slow to respond.

same here :(

They bought the servers down, which is great news for everyone because all the AFK's will be out of the way when they restart them! :)

If they brought the servers down it was without warning, which you do not do, and all of the worlds show up.

And I don't think they brought down JP and NA/EU at the same time, you cant get to ANY world list right now if you get the 2002 error

Sigh

So the main post says it's due to unstable connection but my husband is playing no problem right next to me....we have the same internet....so....NO....

Good point. It's probably more akin to "the servers crashed."

Also, both sets of servers (Japan and NA/EU) were down, but guess which set of servers was back online in a matter of minutes...

Also JP servers are up. And that's what I am playing on. My friend and my husband have not once been disconnected and they are still playing at this moment...

Note: I waited about 10/20 minutes trying to find an actual reason didn't find one but it let me back in again.
I think if you give it sometime the error will fix itself. Also NA/EU servers still look like they are down.

Same was leaving my inn, got 90k, tried to get back in 2002 and then If it manages to load do not even get to see my character and get 1017 or unable to retrieve world server list.

I am getting the error as well - attempting to log in for the first time in 2 days I get the same error upon reaching the start screen. Now i am in the lobby and I can't get the NA/EU list to show up.
Logging a support ticket.

Same, I've been trying since 2 hours ago to log in. I'm not sure what is going on at SE's end but I'm trying my best to be patient and hopefully it will be resolved soon.
I guess they really weren't expecting a million people to want to play in droves during first week but that's something I am super happy about. It means SE's subscriber base will be much larger and we can hopefully expect higher quality services/content when they finally catch up! I just hope you can catch up soon SE :P
