Aether Datacenter is refusing connections

[Thorwich]

Error 2002 for everyone.
Entire FC kicked offline and we cannot re-connect.

[Blamebot]

Been having this problem for the past two days.

But, hey, it must be my connection, right Square? Why fix a problem when you can ignore it?

[Iromi]

Same here, can't log in! T_T FC all just got kicked off as well.

[SurfChemist]

Yup been 20 minutes since I got kicked off, still can't get back on.

ignoring problems that go away is SqEx policy, ragequits = problem fixed without any effort on their end

Bonus: unsubscribe = lowered population on overpopulated servers!

I will gladly give my money to a different company that has a working product. This is 100% bullshit, I can connect to every data center EXCEPT AETHER; which I play on.
FIX THE FUCKING PROBLEM! Or at least acknowledge the problem.

[Althena]

Yeah, haven't been able to log in for the past 40 minutes myself and I'm on the Aether data center. Tried other data centers and they all work. It wouldn't be so annoying if it didn't kick of the client.

Launch is going to be hell. It is going to be worse. Please stop ignoring these problems or you'll just have even more whiney players. No one wants whiney players. Everyone wants happy players!

[squidbunny]

Ugh. I understand the difficulties associated with these kinds of releases but this is still super frustrating. I'm an adult with a kid and only able to play some at night, when the NA data centers are apparently overloaded, and I'm getting a little bitter that everyone who's had time to stay connected all day is rewarded by being able to continue playing while I'm functionally locked out of early access.
