Yep, it's cause the login servers are being hammered by hundreds of thousands of people at 1 time. Essentially we're ddosing ourselves. I'm in the same boat. In queue, stuck at 265 for about 10 minutes now.
I was playing just fine all day today. So was my fiancé. She got 9002'd. bout 10 minutes later i got 9002'd. We were not AFK and were playing and active the whole time. Now it's 2002 trying to get in all day all time.
I just keep getting lobby errors. :< I haven't been able to log in at all since EA was released. u___u
Balmung.
this is the second time I changed data center. I am able to get on the servers of those data centers, but when I switch back to get into balmug, I get the error >>
I can't even get to the character select screen. Can't even connect to the data center--period.
Same. I waited for an hr to see if anything has cleared up and nothing. 10 tries so far since then and I still cant connect to the data center. ><
Yes same here constant lobby server error messages over and over and over and over
I was very patient about this before, but after all the time that's passed, my patience is beginning to wane (I'm getting really sick of entering my information into the launcher repeatedly). This would be easier to bear if SE would at least acknowledge the issue or something.
Aether datacenter, Siren server reporting in.
Was on just fine, logged off to go eat dinner and watch Chopped on the DVR, came back and "LOL 2002 ERROR"
We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.
Burned out Raider turned Casual turned Tired gamer.

So I bought this game on Monday and got home from work and installed it, after a 6GB patch/download time for bed for work.
I come home Tuesday and play it for 2hours and go to bed.
Wednesday I come home no time to play, Thursday servers down for 24hrs.
Now we come to Friday, I come home and play for 2hrs approx. and then leave, come home and I cannot log in been trying since after 7:30pm.
5006 error then repeat 2002 and the typing in my login credentials every time just to fail is REALLY frustrating.
I've shut the power off to my ps4, unplugged the Ethernet cable hard reset my modem and router turned ps4 back on, switched data centers and back (AETHER is where I play) and still same issue.
What the !@#!&@*(#!)@(*&#!@ is going on and REALLY need this issue addressed.
Being invested less than a week in this game and having already bought the game and pre-ordered the expansion pack I expect some sort of compensation for going on 2 days of being unable to play.
Seems to me this week was a very poor time to start this game.
I'm playing on ps4 through Comcast in west Virginia.
