"Lobby server connection has encountered an error" 5006

[LalaSpuedo]

I just played for 30 minutes and got kicked. Try to login and get error codes, 2002, 5006. I've never had this issue, and been playing for 7 years.

Oh I call total BS on the DDoS claims. There's no way for us to verify that and SE crows that same gods damned line every time this happens. I mean it could be that...but seriously...they claimed their new server infrastructure was more robust and basically 'immune' to these kinds of attacks. It's likely they just aren't willin or able to pay for some extra redundancy for these launch events....we'll all keep playin regardless

I sometimes wonder if people actually know what a DDOS attack is.

[Windwalker]

Are the WoW people attacking cuz their game is garbage? xD

Same here. Was in an instance, then my entire party disconnected and got the lobby server message. I was finally able to get back in, but constantly stuck in an about to disconnect stage until it booted me again.

change servers like if you were aether change to primal then back and then log on.

Just happened to me on Lamia. 5+ times trying to relog to get "The lobby server connection has encountered and error."

Same here it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to keep waiting on my one time passwords every time it boots me lol

Hm it let me log in through the title screen this time. Now stuck in queue. May kick me out though, but we'll see.

is it just instanced zones again?

I was in the open world, in a SB area waiting on my friend to finish his quest, just sitting on my chocobo and bam, gone. He is still on but getting big lag and long black screens if he changes zones etc
