I'm getting the same error. Sargatanas server.

I remember seeing an official answer somewhere in a thread that got closed, saying it's just a temporary problem which will be fixed after a few hours at most.

I've been trying to log in for THREE days now, about 3-4 times per hour, not once have I made it to the character selection screen, always got blocked by the nice 2002 error message.
I've tried it in 3 different networks, with ports open. This is NOT a problem on my side. Please fix this already, SE, before the event is over. I'd go into enrage mode if I missed it for that reason..

Famously invented the developers took the money and did not provide the service! For a week I can not play! Theft! Return the money!
The truth is the feeling that the developers do not read this branch, as no one answer or not. Writing into the void, and we have.

Sounds similar to my issue here, http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ror-Repeatedly except I can at least log in for a short time.

Has only been this bad since the maint on the 14th.

From Hyperion in the Primal Data Center. Also getting this issue. Feel like I'm being punished for taking the 3 day weekend to play Lightning Returns instead of FFXIV

Same issue here. was ready to open a treasure cache and boom. Now I can't log in, restarted pc everything, no change.

Same error, can not get on for few hours now.

Same error on my side. Sargantas. I logged on just fine, checked with my isp and they are not throttling my connection. Reset my router, PC, network card, drivers, etc. Nothing has fixed the issue. A response would be nice from a moderator.

I've been getting 2002 a lot last night, but It did stabilize after an hour or so.
