You cant really aspect us to babysit ...

Wireless headphones. As long as the music is playing, you're not 2002'd. The second the music stops, you gotta rush back to the PC to relogin in again.

Won't save everyone, but it helped me yesterday to go do my nails while I waited for a 3K person queue to pass after an unfortunate ISP related disconnect. Only got 2002'd once, and because I recognized that it had locked out entirely, I got my spot back in line at 447.

Probably anecdotal, but in the last two day's queues (2500 and 4500), I didn't 2002 out once. It's *possible* they fixed something.

Also, EXPECT.

All those ques you just mentioned, I do not get at all. The only "error" that pops for me is the 2002. I have gotten no other error since Early access started.

They made changes outlined in this recent post.

as always people on the forums if they didn't face the same problem it means it doesn't exist ... i had the 2002 error 10 times today 2 of them i waited over 3 hours each ..

Not sure how SE can fix this realistically unless the game becomes more unpopular. They recently boosted the max login cap per datacentre from 17k to 21k but its still a drop in the bucket for what we need in some of the more congested data centres.

"What is FFXIV error 2002? This means that too many people are in the login queue. If over 21,000 people are in queue in your data centre, you'll get error 2002."

Seen less 2002 errors, but the queues are even slower than before. If it’s up around 5k, I don’t even bother as I know it will be at least 3 hours. It will be worrying if this state of affairs exists in a couple more weeks.

It doesn’t seem to be just Blizzard who sabotage themselves

Those weren't errors, they were the number of players waiting in queue.

Queue seems surprisingly light over here for a Saturday in prime time. And, naturally, with smaller queues, there's less risk of errors.

Getting error 2002 is not connection strength related by the sounds of it, seems to be complete RNG and occurs if there are over 21k people in the queue on your data centre.

E.g. On Behemoth on the Primal DC during peak congestion we get maybe 5-6k players right now. Multiply that by 8 and you get between 40-48k.

As you can see 21k isn't enough to stop error 2002 when we need 40k at least.

And that's not going to happen until they get new servers.

Ever since I switched from our WiFi to connecting directly to the router with a cable, I've had zero connection errors since then. And I switched almost a week ago.
