Balmung Login error 1016

[TessaJalloh]

Currently, Character previews do not load for balmung server characters. Attempting to login to one of these characters is giving Error 1016.

Aye same here, along with any of my friends that attempt to connect.

[moriori]

Same issue, only that I get error 2002.

[Fuyuu]

Got the exact same error on Balmung, right after Duty Finder started, got disconnected somewhere between on the server and getting to the instance.

PS: Everything is fine on Malboro.

[Lament]

I got disconnected trying to enter an instance for a class quest some 20 minutes ago, haven't been able to log back in since. Have error 2002 like moriori above.

[Talmere]

Same for me as well getting a error code 1016

[Raithunder]

Im getting same thing.. but friends in same house are still online... and friend down the street remains online

[Althena]

From what I understand it may be the entire Aether Data Center. Getting onto other data centers is fine but you can't even switch servers in the Aether one. I'm from Balmung too and have not been able to even see my character select screen since it shows blank.

Cannot Login - My name comes up but not my Character and get the 1016 error when trying to log in

I'm having the same issue with the same effects. Character name pops up, loads the old screen, error 1016
