the lobby server connection has encountered an error. 5006

[Hyunckel]

Happenning now, it doesn't even wait 5 sec trying to connect before throwing this error at me.



Also, WHY THE BLOODY HELL CAN'T I WRITE MESSAGES / NEW TOPICS everywhere else, I WROTE A TOTAL OF 9 MESSAGES IN THE PAST 15 DAYS

Cut the bullcrap with character not high level enough / daily limit on messages and just say I got muted or something instead

^ EDIT
Nevermind now I can write again on the forums O_0
Guess I needed to type here or something ... /shrug

I guess the forums are buggued the way lobby servers are lol



BY THE WAY

Half of the time, when I get that horrible Error 5006, and press numpad 0 to 'accept' it, the game will CRASH, Windows 8.1 will say something like "Final Fantasy XIV.exe ceased to function."

EDIT 3 :

I managed to connect to the characters selection screen somehow .... Waiting in queue to enter Ragnarok now ...

Wish me luck

Same thing for me since the systems became available after the maintenance window yesterday. I usually get past it if I wait a bit but then get world full and stuck in queue.
