Error [2002] the lobby server connection has encountered an error

[Holyvision]

Same exact issue here -- Aether cluster, Mateus server. Worked perfectly fine yesterday evening, went to play today, and none of my characters load when I hit "play" on the main menu, and after a few moments I get a 2002 error message saying the lobby server connection has encountered an error. I have tried restarting, reinstalling, restarted router, tried starting as administrator, etc etc, to no avail.

I have made no network changes, firewall changes, or updates to any pertinent software since the game played perfectly fine yesterday. It is worth noting, that I can connect to Asian and EU data clusters without any issue at all, but I cannot connect to Aether at all.

I expect to be reimbursed for time I am unable to play due to issues on the dev side of the game, especially since we haven't gotten any response or acknowledgement of the issue whatsoever.

I wish they'd tell us which error they are addressing in the announcements. At least that way I'd know whether our problem is even being looked into.

The generic "difficulty accessing several worlds" doesn't really help when it seems that there are currently multiple issues that could be described that way. (This or the disconnects some people are getting)
