Error: 5006 - The Lobby Server Connection Has Encountered an Error.

People having the problem TRY THIS

1) change data center
2) change it back to original
3) connect

Worked for me

I just tried this and it worked for me too! Thanks for the heads up!

This has been happening to me from time to time and I can get in after my 2nd attempt, but today I've just tried 5+ times an I can't get in.

Same problem here, 3 days and it's worse and worse, unable to enter server

[Japary]

started happening around 1:30ish AM 7/4/14 for me on Leviathan server. was crafting near quarrymill, got zero ping on uploading, server lost connection. then tried loading into it again, whipped up to character select screen, put me into a queue and then errored out and now it's "the lobby server connection has encountered an error - 2002" for the past 40-50 mins and i lost count of how many attempts and data center swaps just to make sure. all other worlds i could go into the data centers and start playing. just not Primal data center and my character. huge frickin' inconvenience as i was basically done with provisions and supplies for my GC, just had to turn in majority of them >:|

also, wanted to point out i haven't had any connections issues since the game launched and they put in the queue so this is extremely perplexing and looks like it's happening to a lot of people and some manage to get a work around working while others are still unable to play AND there's no news about what's going on at all.

While we are on this topic lets bring up a very flawful technical issue about the login process.

Why is once the game window is up and you are at the start screen, when you get a error the client has to completely shut down? Forcing us to go through the login process again.

Why cant the game window just stay open? Why does it have to shut down after a connection error?

THIS THIS THIS! A MILLION TIMES THIS! It's even worse with a security token >_<


Now it's 2002 error trying to connect to lobby server. Server's up and I can't get on! Hyperion'd.

Same - got kicked out of instance server doing Coil, and can't get back on Primal data center (Error 2002). I've tried switching data centers - didn't work. So much for Raid night.

Yep I just tried the lil server switch trick. No luck. I can log in on a JP server and make a char if I want tho... <_<

(I'm on Hyperion, Primal)

Seriously? You can connect to Primal?

[KizunaBlade]

Seriously? You can connect to Primal?

Yeah...I can connect to every data center cept Aether at this moment. This whole situation is very confusing.
