"Lobby server connection has encountered an error" 5006

[Atlantasia]

Same here, been playing for about 4 hours now, and all of a sudden, everyone and their mother was lagging. Next thing I know I'm booted, I can't get into the sever, then I can't get into the data center. I'm on Crystal... I tried to get on my alt on Aether, same issue. Lobby Server errors galore... but it shows the servers are online. x.x

Error 6001 on this end. DDoS.

Also having this issue. Was on and then got kicked off now can't get back on.

The worst part is, it kicks you totally out, so you have to relaunch the game and log in again....which with a token becomes even more annoying the 5th plus time. If you aren't going to let me in at least don't kick me out of the game...I've already logged in.

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?

behemoth I crash hopeful you get around to fix it SE

[Arrhin]

Same, Zalera. S.O is on PS4 and so far unaffected?

[Anathaer]

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.
