Lobby Connection Error

[Satty]

This sums about how I feel.
My game time is being wasted, and I cant even get into a queue, when you work in a hospital setting and you finally get time off to do something only to be met with this, it's really heart breaking. Feels like the world is against you.. It's now entering the point of being soul crushing.

Totally expected and normal.
Like every other MMO during lunch and/or an expansion.

This 2002 'error' isn't an error per se. It's explained in the lodestone post Regarding congestion during Endwalker's Launch. It happens because there are over 17000 waiting in the login queue for the world you are trying to log in to. The only POSSIBLE thing they could have done would have been to add new worlds/new data centers, and they couldn't because there is a shortage of components. They looked into getting more servers, they've been very transparent about it. below is the portion of the lodestone post regarding the 2002 lobby error.

"“Error 2002” may be displayed when selecting a character in the Character Selection menu. This error is displayed when the login server is experiencing high amounts of traffic or when the number of characters waiting in a login queue for a logical Data Center exceeds 17,000. This is a measure to prevent the server from crashing due to extreme traffic overloads."

This isn't a solution, a solution is to resolve it, as you have lots of people wanting to play and can't because we are in an endless cycle of being disconnected because of server load. Other measures should have taken place as over 26 million people play this game, so basically most of us won't be able to play due to server overload, ok then give me my money back for the time I took off work and what I paid for, for pre-order, this is simply inexcusable.

They could have allowed people to Q instead of blatantly kicking people out of the menu because there are too many people trying to play at once. People just want to be able to Q we aren't sitting here mad over a game launch that happens sure but completely making it unplayable for a ton of people is just wrong.

I'm in queue at 400 at the moment, nearly in!

Waiting for the inevitable kick.

While I have no doubt the servers are crazy packed tonight, I'm so excited to finally get to log in and play! Hope it is fixed at some point this evening.

The Lobby Connection Error (SE) issue has been around in every expansion, yet Square Enix seems to have no intention to ever fix it. To me, SE charges for early access and yet refuses to fix a technical problem that prevent a majority of players from being able to play the game during early access, then the problem becomes a fraud because it happens in every expansion.

If you live in the USA and want to force SE and Yoshi to take this problem seriously, please file a fraud complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. SE is committing fraud by charging for a service that it could delivered to a small percentage of customers, in every expansion.

Visit the US Federal Trade Commission's fraud report page at https://www.ftc.gov/faq/consumer-pro...-complaint-ftc and file a complaint.

If enough players file a complaint, the FTC will open a file, and that will surely get Square Enix and Yoshi's attention.

...Seriously?

They really need to fix the queue system for pc players, this getting kicked from the queue because of a 2002 error code then trying to log back in after and you are at the back of the queue again sucks devs. Especially after hearing that those on the PS5 do not lose there place if this happens to them.

I'm in PC and haven't lost my place (yet). I've been booted 3 times from 2002.
