Aether Data Center Down

[DarkLiriel]

Oh I agree. I'm mainly making speculations and probing for more information. The main thing I want to see is not getting dumped out of the game entirely when receiving these errors. Having to put in my creds + token time and again is really frustrating lol

Bleh....there goes my afternoon.
Best solution will be to relocate Balmung or Gilgamesh to different datacenters. I doubt anyone will complain.

People asked for it when they asked for regional servers...be careful what you wish for because everyone logging in at the same time is such a great idea right?

Primal is now experiencing 2002 errors.

And here we go again, same time third day in a row.

[destroyer2324]

I've been trying to get onto midgard server for over an hour. so far: 8 5006errors and 13 2002errors. That's just from today.
I don't think this counts as early access. I could've just waited till Tuesday to play and saved money. ugh

90 k many ppl kicked from server... all other in my FC can log on i have the lobby Server down 2002. It sucks...

[BroodingFicus]

What fellow Balmungers need to understand is that if we got a proper working login queue with no lobby errors (which believe me, I really hope we do get), our login queue right now would be several hours long. That's how bad the overcrowding on our server is. The vast majority of our players aren't even trying to get on right now because of the lobby and queue problems.

I get why there are lobby errors. The issue is I agree with you in regards to ever achieving 'normalcy' again with HW releasing. Best case scenario it takes weeks to become tolerable which means we are paying to have something we are not getting free access to. Its as if your apartment is only accessible during really strange hours but you still need to pay regular rent like everyone else. I think its more likely we won't see it evening out as much due to the return of new players, transfers and people sneaking in after maintenance/during the early hours of the morning. As much as I hate to say this, I almost feel Balmung should be shut down to new players entirely until a solution is found or at least for the first month or two after release to make sure new players are filtered elsewhere. I love how diverse our server is but its clear that it cannot handle how many people are already on Balmung let alone any new editions.

I just now finally got into midgard, took probably 10 or so tries

Primal servers are fucked now too. SE is completely incompetent. You knew this was going to happen. They either need to extend the early access and push back release date or split the servers. Customer comes first I don't give a damn about your business model. Because eventually...you piss off enough people they are just going to leave.

phoenix is chaos and not primal right ? either way same story same time for the phoenix server past few days
