"Lobby server connection has encountered an error" 5006

[HyoMinPark]

Same on Cactuar — was doing Doma Castle just fine and then suddenly the entire party was dc-ing. I managed to get back in once, disconnected again, and now I can’t even get past the lobby server — keep getting 2002 and 5006 errors.

was smooth from when the gates opened till this happened. but hey already did a good job not repeating the issues we had in SB. Also i think we where in the same party HyoMinPark

Same here. Was in an instance, then my entire party disconnected and got the lobby server message. I was finally able to get back in, but constantly stuck in an about to disconnect stage until it booted me again.

I have been playing since the servers came up and there has not been a hitch in anything. Not with the first dungeon, any of the FATES, no lag, nothing. So this is not SE and it is not because it is pre-release. This has all the hallmarks of DDoS

To easy excuse. It is the influx of players. Queues went up too, which means more players came in, so it is the increase in that and not DDoS, which is an often made excuse by SE. To often...

Whether it was a DDoS attack or simply servers crashing due to a sudden influx of players, we cannot say for we do not know. Assuming what is happening will get us nowhere. If it is bothering you this much, get off the game and take a breather.

You must have inside information, or spoiled and whiny.

Try kept playing indefinitely even beyond NEW CONTENT. I have seen some trouble arising and always the same excuse: DDoS attack. There is no way some hacker or hacker group would target one game over and over and over. And at least I did not lower myself to name calling or assuming one's personality.

I just played for 30 minutes and got kicked. Try to login and get error codes, 2002, 5006. I've never had this issue, and been playing for 7 years.
