"Lobby server connection has encountered an error" 5006

[hynaku]

I get ether 5006 lobby error or put in queue of over 995. Thinking of demanding my money back for the collectors edition. What good is early access if can't even login that's total embarrassment on there part. If world can only handle so many account at once then they need to put stop new accounts for it once it reaches its max. Then if none is open create a new world for new accounts.

It would be nice if they would at least tell us they know there's an issue and working on it. Haven't seen even a whisper yet.

Yep the DDOS has begun. I figure Square was expecting this and is probably ready to counter it.

[Rsvirus]

Yep 20 minutes now and still can't get in due to the errors.

is it just instanced zones again?

No, I wasn't even in or near an instanced zone and got kicked out. It is the servers breaking....again.... Because they refuse to learn from previous expansions...

Hyperion and 5006 error followed by 2002 error

[Ootarion]

I don't get it....I was playing the game just fine, even chatting with a friend ((Im on Aether: Cactuar)) and I got booted out, can't get back in, friend is still ON the game in the same server, meanwhile Im getting hit with the "The lobby server connection has encountered an error (code 2002)" please fix this asap...D:

Addendum: Apparently the issue is being caused by a big DDOS. I wonder....if these kinds of people who do this sort of thing, realize just how empty and hollow they are. Anyone who gets a rise out of ruining the good time of others, just to get a cheap laugh, is never going to get what they want, sure they may think they win, but the reality is they are sad and pathetic people, and nothing will change that, even if they win, so ultimately, they lose, no matter what.
