    All of the problems people are having come from the root issue of not having enough servers. 2002's during queue is the most common complaint from what I've seen. Why is that happening? Connection instability/packet loss while in queue. Which probably means network collisions are happening. Why are we seeing this more often now than before? Because a lot more people are connecting, keeping us in the queue for a longer period of time, which greatly increases the chance of network collisions. What is the solution? Either less people play or more servers.

    The recent 3001 outage where people couldn't even queue? That's when the login cap is somehow exceeded according to the explanation they gave us. So again, either less people play or more servers are added.

    All of these issues can be traced back to the lack of servers. Which means there are no real solutions due to the chip shortage.

    A lot of the packet loss is being caused by a bad hop happening in San Jose California. This has already been proven and NTT themselves have admitted to it. Craploads of people trying to play exacerbates the issue but it has nothing to do with chip shortages. It's ALSO one of the issues Square has yet to deal with or even really acknowledge. Just telling people to use a a direct connection and not wifi (which does't solve the issue)
