Good Launch Square. Good Job

Just want to add on that it's not just EU servers. I'm on Gilgamesh, which is NA, and I'm getting the 2002 errors too. I don't think I'm the only one, either.

Hmm, I see that the salt mines are in business today.

I don't know what this is supposed to mean, or add, and I don't think its fair to tell people they can't be upset. They delayed the game because it wasn't finished on relatively short notice when people took off of work. That's fair. Now that people probably can't get off, they can't manage to log in before having to go back to sleep so they have to go back to work. There is plenty of valid reason to be upset, especially given how foreseeable this was. You don't actually know that there was nothing they could do, you only know that they failed to solve the problem.

Getting angry isn't exactly productive, but making excuses for them isn't either. It is a problem that needs solving, not apathy.

And now it's constant 2002 Lobby errors. Can't even get into the queue at all. Six times in a row now.

I have no problem with the long ques, it’s the multiple 2002 errors when i am in triple digits ets or less after waiting through a long 6000+ que that is getting really frustrating.

I've been trying to log into Siren for just over 4 hrs. First time I started I was at 1800+ and got to #1 in queue then got kicked out with a 4004 error. Second time started at 2800+ then was 2002'd at 1400-ish. Third time I couldn't even queue at all and kept getting kicked out of the launcher for almost an hour. Last time I tried was at 2790 to start, and was 2002'd at 1372. Think I'll give up for now...

I've been through my share of MMO/expansion launches so I understand the rush for new and returning players. I LOVE the fact FF has this issue. Just frustrating that I haven't been able to play yet myself.

Good luck everyone. I'll eventually see you in Eorzia.

Worse than ShB but better than SB and HW. Not as bad as I was expecting at any rate.

I LOVE the fact FF has this issue.

It is a good problem to have, I agree, but not one to keep. I genuinely want the people who are giving the game a shot to enjoy it rather than deal with this and come to the conclusion it isn't worth it. That isn't fair to the devs either. Nor are the people who come to that conclusion not worth keeping or undeserving of enjoying the game. Plenty of hard-working and busy people want to play and don't have the time to deal with this noise. They pay their subscriptions and bought the game, their concerns should be considered with weight.

And remember these problems are with removing the free trial people. Hopefully the system is designed well enough that free trial people aren't even in the lobby considering the volume.

I thought it would be 10k queues but it was 2k ok but not good.

The problem isn't 2k ques. Everyone would just laugh at some one who said "oh no que". The que isn't stable and you can sit in que for 30 mins and go from 2k to 5k.

Precisely. If the only problem was massive queues that folk have to wait in to get ingame, that is something that is to be expected. The real problem is that folk might wait in a queue, but actually see the number of people ahead of them go up, or, alternatively, spend an hour or two slowly moving up the queue, just to get booted out with an error message, then be put back at the end of the queue when they log back in.
