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

I live in the Dallas area and have FIOS too and was getting the 2002 error for hours. I found a workaround for the time being though. I installed a VPN client Spotflux and now I logged right in no problem. It should help until Verizon or Square gets this sorted out.

I tried using the VPN and SE said my account is suspicious >_>

Are you not using the one-time password? If you aren't I've heard it'll get grumpy if you log in via an unusual IP (which would definitely be the case with a VPN).

That I am not. If I register one, will it not get mad at me using a VPN?

That's what I heard....and it's not mad at me currently

Running into this problem as of an hour ago. Verizon is my provider, just like others that have posted tonight.

Data Center: Aether
World: Goblin

Edit: Still doing it.

After you change your password, it should let you in. Worked for me, anyway.
