Error code 2002 and 90000

[Alexika]

They are sending me a new router for tomorrow, but I don't see how that will fix this.

Lean on your ISP for help, or pull in a tech savvy friend... or follow one of the many guides that have been posted here repeatedly (both user made and links to published material). Here is one such guide from Blizzard I've linked often:

Here are the registered names for the Canadian Lobby servers that can be used for testing:

neolobby02.ffxiv.com
neolobby04.fxiv.com
neolobby06.ffxiv.com

Installing and configuring a VPN will be covered by those providing the service...but it is usually fairly simple--often a self-contained installer or a how-to guide to set it up with Windows own connection manager. You set the location to connect to (or enter the appropriate address in the Windows manager), click the button that makes the connection, then play as normal.

Things are fine for far too many people for it to be strictly a server based issue. Routing issues are a known problem in general for web based services and also have been proven to be at fault with XIV quite often. It needs to be flushed out....no matter how good the servers are running, a bad route can make the game unplayable.

What do you mean by those providing the service? As in my own ISP will provide one for me? I need to get this connection issue resolved. Having to use a 3rd party program like PingZapper is fuckin ridiculous

The VPN service provider. Pingzapper has their own guides, so does BattlePing, Tunnel Bear, CyberGhost VPN, Hotspot Shield, etc.

As has been stated many times, they usually have a free trial period. But some will have a limited free use policy as well. Tunnel Bear gives you 500MB free every month, and if you promote them on social media you can get an extra 1GB added. Others will limit it by time--like so many hours a day/week/month or something. Some are ad supported (get a pop-up ad periodically, or maybe when you log-on or something weird like that).

The point is, you don't necessarily have to pay for the service to use it in a pinch or for diagnostic purposes. If you find you like how it performs via the VPN and want to use it for more than their free option provides, some of them are actually quite reasonable---like in the neighborhood of $50-$60 for a year of unlimited access. That same Tunnel Bear service I used to prove my point to the TWC tech is only $50 for a year of unlimited use---and it works. Sometimes it fairs better connecting in the states then it does to Canada...but it can and did give better results when I needed to use it.

You may find if you do start using a VPN that you have more uses for it than just the game. I stayed with my free 500MB plan and use it for paying bills and occasionally to stream some content (stupid regional IP blocking). During football season, I prefer to pay them the $7 a month for more VPN access than paying the cable company north of $50 just to watch my games. Just saying....there can be some hidden benefits.

Having the same issue over and over, this is getting really frustrating. My ISP is just fine, i play Final fantasy for 9 hours straight, then it just kick me out and get 90k error and 2002. Wont let me back in.

Theyve "fixed" Phoenix World and messed up whole EU Data Center with it. We need to wait for those people to fix the whole Data center now. Maybe they crash rest of them at it too.

Was queueing for 1+ hour for PvP (FIX THAT TOO???) then error and now continously getting error 2002.

No errors on my side, stable fiber 100/100 line.

Tried iprenew, dnsflush just for the sake of it, pc restart etc.

I am really considering to quit play FFXIV again because it feels like so much is ignored, PvP on one side but server problems are even more unacceptable since I pay to play this game=paying for a service I do not recieve?

[Nolem]

All of us experience the problems. Chaos (EU) Data Center is down apparently.

Also "treathing" to leave the game wont work cause single people are like a small drop in SE sea of people who play this game. They wont even notice few single "units" gone.
