the lobby server connection has encountered an error 2002

In WoW, they have current updates and info in a window that you see even before you log in. You can't miss it. Yes, they do give you all the info you need, but they could do it better. Simple steps could have easily prevented this thread's existence.

Am I the only one who has to go through this after hitting play in the launcher since a couple of days ?


I don't think so.

This is even better than what WoW does because you need to hit "OK" to make it disappear, if people don't read this, it is completely their fault.

It says the 23rd, Brah, and that scroll bar is nearly invisible to me. And isn't that about the usual for maintenance days? Wasn't expecting more. And seeing error 2002 didn't help clear matters up.

The maint notices were on the launcher as well, before and after you log in.

I just wanted to add this thread of ideas that I imagine for many it feels like agreeing to a ToS and people's eyes glaze over. Putting it into the news panel (sliding panel, not the thing below it lol which it already is there) would help in that its like three words in large color font and people will actually read that (more likely than small text or ToS text).

Not saying it's perfect but just wanted to add that a large image with a few words is a different style of presentation than the others (ok button and news section). Not that I think SE failed us or anything, they clearly tried pretty hard with a whole page you have to hit ok to lol. Just thinking that an image with a few words may help in attracting a different type of person's attention (like youtube thumbnail) vs people who prefer to read articles without many or any pictures- of course there will be some overlap and some people missed either way XD.
