What's the difference between errors 90002 & 90006?

[Riko_Futatabi]

Since I've been disconnecting regularly from the game for over 3 months now. I've noticed a lot of other people when disconnecting get error 90002, yet for the majority of my disconnections I get error 90006. I got error 90002 maybe twice in the passed few months and it was due to my router rebooting. But error 90006 I get the vast majority of the time when I disconnect.

So my question is in the title. I'd appreciate it if an explanation can be given on what does error 90006 mean and what makes it different from error 90002. Outside of the obvious things like "Those errors mean you disconnected from lobby server.". Simply want to know what these 2 different error codes really mean.

Just a curiosity since I'm the master of error 90006 but I see a lot reporting 90002 and started wonder why we have 2 error numbers for the same thing? Of course, it's not exactly the same thing, right? Thanks for your time if you decide to reply.

Good Morning Riko_Futatabi, and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Any 90000 error will indicate that you were forcibly disconnected from the game, specifically because your connection timed out with the server. Unfortunately, it is hard to determine exactly how this happened based on the numbers in the error code. I cannot say for certain what the exact difference is, but it probably has to do with where the disconnection took place or whether it was a physical or virtual disconnection. Any kind of disconnection can result in a 90000 error, meaning there isn't a method to solving a 90002 error that won't work on 90006 errors, at least in theory. So if you are getting a 90006 when everyone else is getting a 90002, you are all getting disconnected, it just may be in a different way, even if it's for the same reason.

If you need any further clarification or have more questions, feel free to ask. We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
