"Lobby server connection has encountered an error" 5006

[Nakkir]

Same goes for me and some of my FCmates on Sarg. Seems we're all getting picked off >:O

Honnestly SE, and I don't want to be mean here, but fix your servers !
I mean, every expansion, this s**t happens. Can't you take any measures to avoid massive number of players making your servers crashes? I mean, you know it will happen... and you have time to prepare yourselfs... So why, every time, we have to get servers issues?

[CatsWithShoes]

is it just instanced zones again?

[Veliena]

is it just instanced zones again?

I was in the open world, in a SB area waiting on my friend to finish his quest, just sitting on my chocobo and bam, gone. He is still on but getting big lag and long black screens if he changes zones etc

[Anathaer]

is it just instanced zones again?

No, I wasn't even in or near an instanced zone and got kicked out. It is the servers breaking....again.... Because they refuse to learn from previous expansions...

It's not us players that are the issue. Just like at SB launch it looks to be a concentrated DDOS attack. There is absolutely nothing they can do about it.

Having the same issues with Malboro on the Crystal datacenter.
5006 error code.

it started about 10-15 mins ago.

Same on Aether > Siren

They can not be bothered to learn from Heavensward and Stormblood. It had the EXACT same issues. And only because people that left the moment they had nothing new to do, now suddenly come crawling back and cause issues for us LOYAL players that stuck around no matter what. We should be getting our own dam queue!

EDIT: PC btw. In case that matters.

There's nothing for SE to fix and it has nothing to do with queues. It's a DDOS attack like at SB launch.

Oh that excuse again? They use it every time their servers mock up. Hard to still believe it. It's just server failure and what CAN be done is by replacing the old ones.
