Aether Datacenter is refusing connections

[TmoneyDuffAK]

I purchased ARR 22 days ago to try it out since most of us at the office are tired of WoW right now. Played it on and off during this time because of work and other activities. And then after the update a few days ago I consistently get error 2002 when trying to log on. I haven't been able to log in at all to Aether. When it comes to any other server that I DON'T play on, I log in no problem. Reading here, seems as if SE likes to turn their deaf ear to people who have issues.

Will I continue with FF 14? Maybe. I am going to let it go for a bit before I pay for a sub so that way I don't get boned out of the money which I have to work for.

Hopefully for all of you who do have subs get some game time added to your account in compensation for the inability to log into the data center.

So much for early access.

Right now they are making Blizzard look golden.

I would of figured that these companies would of learned from the Diablo 3 fiasco with connection errors but sadly it does not seem that anyone has. Then again they have our money so like they care til monday their time. Just imagine whats going to happen on Tuesday when the physical copies are all redeemed and they want to play as well. I guess we will be able to connect til... July.

What was the point of early access if we cant access anything, this is just dumb, thought they took precautions guess not

Atleast Blizzard aknowledges there's a problem when stuff like this happens. SE's been completely silent on this issue for 2 days other than a "There might be a little congestion, just keep trying."

There's a very small notice on the launcher about "Congestion" and that's it.

lol, little my ass. They almost need to break Aether up, or at least put some of the popular servers on another DC instead of having 80% of the big servers on one spot.
