Error 2002 - can't connect

[GamePlayer]

Same here, error connecting to loby server, since 3.0 ive had about a total of 10 miniutes playtime.
ah well time to go find something else to play till they fix the game.

Same, Phoenix again erroring out with 2002. Tried flushing DNS cache, not working this time.

[Riyoyo]

This is ridiculous. We shouldn't still not be able to connect. I understand on the 19th when it first went live, but the game releases tomorrow and it's only going to get worse. I shouldn't have to sit here and watch my game time be wasted because I can only get in every 10 or so tries, if I'm lucky. I can connect to other data centers, so please fix Aether.

EDIT: And I think the most irritating part of all this is I HAVE TO RESTART THE PROGRAM EVERY TIME.

[RappyRed]

What gives?
They said they resolved this issue yesterday.

[frendy]

[Malackai]

[Flare_Espiir]

At the time below, we experienced technical difficulties with several Worlds, causing certain areas on the Worlds below to become inaccessible.

We are pleased to announce that the issue has been resolved.

However, players may continue to have difficulty logging in currently due to an increasing number of logins.
We are gradually allowing players into the data centre, so we ask that you please wait patiently as the login rush subsides.

Just as an update I tried the Japanese data centre and it worked, so changed back to EU and it works now and I am online... Hope it helps

I actually started playing this game the day this new expansion was released, though I wasn't aware of it, kind of a bad time to start playing, I guess.. I'm not impressed with the seemingly daily unavaliability of the servers, but I'm hoping this isn't normally the case?
