Error 2002?

[skyfox]

After waiting for 2 hours+ (log in queue) instead of being able to play I get this 2002 error?

Now when I try to try again I get the error instantly.

Are people able to log in and play? Cuz I haven't had any luck so far.

Well, if it makes you feel better, I had absolutely nightmare with random error 1st 2 hours. After I finally got through a 2k+ queue, I booted me with "Cannot load character" error. After 1-2 hour I finally got in the game. After approx 1 hour play, I got disconnected from server and put right back to the queue with 5k+... After approx. 2-3 hour on the queue, I finally able to play game with no issue so far.

this is garbage , cant they limit the amount of pre-orders so the servers are manageable? hahahahaha sure why would they ,seems servers are one out one in atm, but its ok because they said it would happen AGAIN

When I googled this it said that the cause was the firewall, so I checked my windows firewall , then tried relogging and I still couldn't get in so I went to webroot and allowed ALL processes to connect which I really don't like. THEN I was able to get in. I TRIED looking for the file to put it in to allow FF to play, but I could NOT find any file, couldn't even find anything that said square enix, and I KNOW they're on my PC. I looked under programs, downloads in windows. I'm lost, I'm NOT a computer nerd, I do good just being able to download stuff. IF I know what to look for or where I can usually find it, but I'm stumped!

Ignore all of that, those are the servers' fault, they are overloaded.
I read it within some official post, if the login queue goes above 14k or smth like that this is expected. Which is kinda sad.

Its happening on worlds with 3000 queues.

The worst part isn't even the queue, its that 2002 still boots you out of the game completely. It makes logging in repeatedly a pain in the butt if you have an OTP.

yeah thsi is very frustrating. i was just in a 3200 queue got down to 2300 and got kick out of queue. Square needs to do something about this.

My heart is not going to take another exit error at place ~300.

Waited 2hrs. Got error 2002 when I was number 24... now im 7000......... meanwhile I can watch my friends screen looking at numerous ppl afking in the cities in their glam...

I think people are missing the point with comments about semi-conductor shortages. That's the reason we don't have more world servers. And while it sucks to be in a long queue, it is what it is.

It's the fact the login servers are unstable which is the problem here. Sitting in a long queue is part and parcel of a new MMO expansion launch, but just getting dumped out of your queue at any possible moment is really an unacceptable situation. Getting to play the games becomes a game of aluck rather than waiting. You can't even do anything else while waiting in your queue because you might come back to an error screen.

Kicking out the AFK RPers sounds like a good idea.
No offense but this is a new expansion, and most of us wants to play the game. Instead of standing in one place with our characters...
