Aether Data Center Down

[stanrir]

just got kicked and now i can't get back into Aether. all the other data centers seem to work just fine though

This is the fix I've gotten in the habit of doing. Go to a different data center, log into a character there. Once you're on, log off, go to Aether data center, and then go back loggin' on your character. It seems to always work for me.

I went to my alt in Behemoth (Primal data center), spent a few minutes there walking around, then logged out, switched back to Aether and it worked! THNKS! \o/

Half an hour in queue and then 2002.

You screwed up again, Square Enix.

Also if you get stuck in a queue click on cancel then try entering again. You might get back in right away...or just face a shorter line.

I've been at 1 for a long while now. Obviously bugged.

Edit: And now 2002, after a ton of time in queue again. Whoever said SE is doing a good job with the servers needs to review that position.

Dear Square Enix. Sort your datacenter out. You're not gaining much goodwill. In the past two days I managed to play 3 hours.

switched to Chaos (EU) and without even logging in a character switched back to Aether and... tada! Connected

I'm worried about when the official launch starts. If it is this bad now I don't even want to think what will happen during release. You would think after the fiasco of ARR's launch they would've had this stuff figured out by now. They can no longer use the excuse of unexpectedly high number of users logging in, that's what they messed up on during launch.

With all the apparent success the game is having and the further revenue stream of a cash shop in a subscription based game, server issues should not be happening.

This is the second time today I was kicked off the game randomly and could not get back on for an extended period of time.


EDIT: I made an alt on a Japanese server during official launch when the NA datacenters were doing terribly (surprise surprise), I logged onto that character just fine now and tried to do the switch that everyone mentions and I still got the lobby error.

Honestly, I'm in Balmung (aether data center) and I've been able to play about 12 hours or so in total the past couple days without too many issues. I kinda think it's on your end if you have only been able to play for about 3 or so due to the login screen. And I never left the game on when I stopped playing by the way. So every time I've wanted to play, I'd get in essentially. A couple times I'd have issues with the 2002 or whatever for like a half hour or an hour or so, but then it'd work just fine aside form obviously having to wait for the queue.

There're a couple work-arounds that have worked for people that's posted in the technical forum if you're curious. Like I said, it could very well be on your end.
