"Final Fantasy 14 Error 2002 – Server Congestion
This error is very similar to error 1017, except to say that FF14 has had restrictions put in place for players to try and prevent servers from becoming overcrowded and creating issues for those still playing the game.
This error will likely happen on the main menu (where it plays the famous Final Fantasy tune) and the ‘Start’ button will be greyed out.
You won’t be able to click start and, if it doesn’t become available within a couple of seconds, will mean you’re unable to connect to the character selection screen.
This is in a bid to prevent too many connecting to the game and, sadly, cannot be fixed through traditional means. It is originating from the FF servers.
However, it is also worth noting that Error 2002 can be caused by your router and the port settings. If you keep getting this error code then access your router to unblock the following ports:UDP 552961 55551 TCP 80, 8080, 443, 552961 55551" I've done all this plus some...if its congestion then why do I always get caught up in the congestion then?
