is anyone else unable to connect to lobby server?

flushing dns did nothing for me sadly.

2002 errors. That is what I get for needing to eat. Does sorta suck that so often its the same servers. The ones that always crash should get a discount on their early access since we have to wait around more than the others XD

Same, i tried as well.

Woo I beat the login NM!! I got a 5006 error, flushed my cached, and tried again and logged right in.

Got past the lobby server just now after over an hour, I just hope it doesn't crash while I wait for this crazy long queue to let me in :3
Edit: aaaand it didn't. Yay!

...one would think learning from from the past - wouldn't you agree?

The history of MMOs has been going on for more than 15 years and every single time in every single MMORPG this happens on the first day of release/add-ons.
I don't exactly get it, but no matter what they do, they always seem to underestimate the sheer amount of people willing to play their game xD

Also, well, they have to do with the hardware and personnel they have. No sudden giant servers only for patch week and stuff like that, so any kind of launch will always be kind of messy in a way
With 2.0, I couldn't do anything in the game for all of EA because of an unresolved bug (in the rare instance of actually being able to log in) so playing 11 hours staight today and logging on and off 3 times in between for race switches without any trouble is like a dream come true ^-^

The issue is probably going to continue because there isn't much that can be done. Servers like Balmung, Gilgamesh and such are rather old servers and have alot of activity. Considering people even struggle to make a character on said servers its no really surprise its happening. I can't even get in at this very moment. The best thing anyone can do is just wait I suppose or keep trying.

It is not the game "servers" its the lobby server for certain data centers. That means all of a data center is affected, not just certain servers within it.

How do I flush my DNS?

[Yukiko]

Try to restart the computer, it seems the client is having some problems with cache - for some players that helped

[Nadrojj]

Got back in, my party was waiting for me, we restarted the leve we were on, and I was the only one to get 90k'd this time.

Changed MTU setting to a softly smaller packet and got in
