2002s are the real issue

Totally this. Queues are just part of launch and no amount of foresight could have fixed it with the pandemic going on, but 2002 errors can be fixed.

The real problem with the 2002 error for me is it force closes the client and forces me to reenter credentials every time.

Errors like that should just force the client to return to the login screen not terminate the thing and force me to re enter login credentials, it's frustrating expecially when you have to put an OTP in everytime.

Sat in que on EU for 3~ hours. 20002 Error.
Restart the client. Another 200002 error while connecting to data center.
Restart again. Same thing.
Third time.
Fourth attempt I get in. Position in que: 7500. (4-5 hours maybe? or even more)

Nice operation you're running here, SE.

Yesterday, I acctually had to minize FFXIV and quickly re-log every time 2002-error popped up to not loose my spot in the queue. 3-4 hours lol
WHen I got in I logged out after 20 min because I was too tired :P

Currently in a 10 545 queue

Yep. They were 100% wrong to implement connection errors this way, and have continued to be wrong for eight years now. I have no hopes that they'll ever fix it, but all we can do is keep throwing paper airplanes at the back of their heads hoping they notice someday.

Where's all these extra zeroes coming from? It's 2002. It's literally in the title.

Been queued up since after 2pm, now 5pm as of this post and 1100 out from a starting point of 7000, been hit with the 2002 error twice. I'm not losing my position so far but the thing I fear being 2002'd right before login which makes me lose my spot. Least once I get online I know I'll be online for the evening.
