Error 2002 is unacceptable

Agree with the sentiment here. I'm currently in queue a good 2 hours before I'll even be able to play just to make sure I have a chance tonight, and I have to run upstairs to my office every few mins between tasks to make sure I stay in line. I've fought off 3 2002's now and thankfully haven't lost my spot yet, but damn is it frustrating to have to babysit the game for literally hours to log in.

And just this morning I was thinking how smooth and lag/bug/error free my experience was yesterday...guess I jinxed it lol

I just log on and do other things while I wait...dishes...cleaning...go outside.. play video games. Not saying your comments are not justified, but don't waste your time looking at a screen folks.

You kind of have to babysit the screen, if you wait too long after getting the dreaded 2002 error & don't log back in fast enough, you're back to end of the line. 2 hours ago, I was at 8250 in queue, I am now 3,044 and have been kicked back to desktop many times. If I wasn't paying attention, I'd be back to 8250. I don't mind the queue time, it is what it is, I've played many MMO xpac releases, it's the getting kicked and having to start all over. Let me go watch TV for a few hours while I wait to be logged in, I am OK with that.

If they just fix this I have no problem with this expansion for now seriously , I will wait my turn, please for the love of god don’t disconnect me and put me at the end of the queue.

I'm totally with you. I will wait my turn I have no problem with that. Disconnecting and starting over does make me a little sad.

Yeah, honestly, I won't ever do an early access after this. I've spent my whole day in que and only to get logged in to the world and 30 minutes later get disconnected and returned to que.

I thought I'd actually get to play like last time I did early access for Stormblood (I'd take Rauhban over this), but now I'm seeing that won't be the case during the early access period.

Squenix keeps saying it's not their fault, but hardware providers, and that's true in a partial sense. I'm a dev for another company and I can safely say that that's more of an excuse rather than what's actually the problem. If I had to throw a dart, Squenix's management probably didn't think the login software and infrastructure was actually important enough to spend money and man hours on and here we are now.

They have our money though, so they'll just run with it, oh well.

I logged on at 8am Pacific time this morning and the queue was 71.
Waited about 2 minutes to get on.

Key takeaway; no one is awake even at 11am Eastern so being awake during daylight hours is a huge advantage.
