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

[punitenshu]

The Dallas folk with just the 2002 error can WTFast or Battleping around the problem if they are so inclined. I can't say for certain whether SE would frown on that, but they don't seem to have any problem with that software being discussed at least.

It seems like there are plenty of other issues at the moment, so not sure if it's worth the risk (if you are worried it's risky in the first place) though.
