Unable to connect to data center

[Xstrice]

Called CS about this yesterday when it took me over an hour of re entering my password (which is stupid btw) to finally get in. They told me a 2002 is when there is a overload of people logging in at the same time and to keep trying until I get in. Patience is one thing but last night at 10:30 pm est I spent 2hrs trying and finally got in at 12:25am. This is messed up. While I could get in to the other Data Servers just fine. You would think they could have seen this coming. Hope its fixed before the actual launch day.

I have a feeling it won't be fixed by launch day. Launch day will be the same if not worse.

Guys. I did the whole switching Data center thing just now. It worked for me. If that still doesn't work then I don't know. I wish Square would give us a response. Silence just makes a lot of us angrier.

That is just a fluke I have tried the switching data center thing and it doesn't work I still get the 2002 error
but I would agree that I wish Square Enix would post some kind of a response to this issue.

Well I hope Square Enix is going to be prepared to do some kind of compensation for this
I mean really everyone that ordered the early access can't play right now.

It is Sunday June 21 2015 at about 4:00 PM MDT (GMT-0700) and I am still
getting the 2002 error and I can't get into the game.

And what makes me REALLY mad is that gold spammers are taking up valuable spots
on the server I am still getting gold spammers messaging me and I am reporting
them. These scumbags are taking up spots on the server where actual players should
be.

Ok now this is really ticking me off! I was right in the
middle of a dungeon Snowcloak and the server disconnects
me and gives me the error 9002 we just downed the first
boss and we didn't even get to open the chest because
the server disconnected me.

This happened on June 21 2015 at about 5:30 PM

This is absolute garbage fix your servers
Square Enix. Now even when you are connected
the servers are really not playable.

The error message that I got was
"Connection with the server was lost 900002"

I am getting sick of this crap! Square Enix better
do some kind of compensation for this crappy service!

Thank you for contacting SQUARE ENIX Support,


We apologize for the trouble and inconvenience you have been experiencing with the error. Unfortunately the error is being received due to heavy congestion in that specific data center. We are aware of the connection error and the issue should have been resolved already. We recommend reviewing the FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Lodestone for details on the connection issue.


Thank you for contacting the SQUARE ENIX Support Center.

For additional assistance with this issue, you can reply to this email directly. For assistance with a new issue, please visit the SQUARE ENIX Support Center at http://support.na.square-enix.com

So in their response they say "and the issue should have been resolved already. "

Ya right I went to log in on June 22 2015 at about 8:00 PM
MDT and I am still getting the 2002 error.

Square Enix has not fixed a thing!

So here is a throw back from September 3 2013 when
"A Realm Reborn" ("ARR") was launched...

http://www.nowgamer.com/final-fantas...17-2002-90000/

"Square Enix launched Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn last week and, well, it’s not gone smoothly.
Servers have crashed, no one can play and gamers are generally getting a little irate."


So obviously Square Enix has learned absolutely nothing from when
they launched A realm reborn and history has repeated itself again
with "Heavensward".


Ok you make the mistake once.. but you at least learn from it but
that doesn't appear to be the case with Square Enix.

You can tell just by reading though the forums that the people who purchased
early access for Heavensward is more than a little bit irate right now.

"one alarming fact by Square Enix stands out the most -- the current, paid subscription bases
of FFXI, FFXIV and DQX do not even add up to one million combined players."

"Three major MMO titles - Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn which began operation last August,
Dragon Quest 10, which was launched in August 2012, and Final Fantasy 11, which has entered its thirteenth
year of operation-maintain nearly 1,000,000 paying subscribers all together"

If this situation with people not being able to connect to the servers doesn't get fixed
real soon I am sure Square Enix is going to see people start to cancel their subscriptions
because they are fed up with these errors.
