Concrete proof finally provided that the 2002 error has NOTHING is server side issue

[NanaWiloh]

Why do people like you keep claiming this, when it simply is not true? Baseless claims, with no facts, evidence or proof.

The forum is full of people right now spewing uniformed garbage and lies. Its really not hard to catch someone right now who is paid no attention to SE media letters.

One of the more famous incidents that even received coverage here was the BLM speed/cast hack that effected ranked PvP pretty bad. NA/EU complained for months, but no fix. However, JP complained and it was hot fixed within a week or so.

Blame on the staff they hired for US datacenter then, such incompetency.
JP GM is not going to be able to investigate English reports, that is under EN GM they hired.

This doesn't mean they don't care about English dataceter, this is just showing their English staff hired are incompetent

And Yoshi still says the problem is on our end while KNOWING it's a lie ... woah ...

The 2002 error with the server queue is because the queue is maxed. The issue isn't on the players side, it's server side. If you try to join the game and the server queue is at max capactity it's going to give you that error.

Please please read the responses from Yoshi P.. This is not a user issue (though can be). 2002 is given when connection is lost while attempting access to login server. This doth not matter if you lost connection or Square servers become overloaded.

"In order to prevent a major login server outage, FFXIV has a limit of "no more than 17,000 total players waiting to log in per logical data center". This cap is set uniformly regardless of how many Worlds exist in a logical data center."

・ The Issue

"If the total number of players waiting in the logical data center exceeds 17,000, Error 2002 will be displayed and you will not be able to queue for login."

Other post;

As we mentioned in our previous announcement (https://sqex.to/eUgyp), there are two causes of Error 2002.

"Occurrence of Error 2002 When the No. of Players Waiting in the Queue per Logical Data Centre Exceeds 17,000"

and

"Error 2002 Occurrence From Issues With the Player's Internet Connection"

I am not defending Square for 2002 but really seriously, this is getting most silly. It is incredibly common when submitting any bug reports to be asked to eliminate any issue on the user end. This makes the process of diagnosis easier. It is not done to be rude.

If swapping routers and disabling anti virus appears to have worked for you it is highly likely you may have been experiencing issues on your end. Tis also most likely you will encounter 2002 again in future as this issue is not user exclusive.

In fact, lobby server issues are quite common for reasons most varied. I have had personal experience with such things when working on emulator software. I have explained many times on the forums about this.. and so wish these threads would remain on topic as they are amusing to read. If and this is biiiiiiig if Square reads anything here, technical dumps will be far more useful for them then passive aggressive insult slinging.

TL;DR
This is server side and can be client side issue. That is all. This has been stated by Square and from my own personal experience seems correct.

Imagine going to a forum and expecting everyone having the same opinion and then freaking out if they don't lmao
It is not like any english SE community person is responding here to a community created thread since some years. They only delete stuff that is against the rules, that is their extend of interaction with the players, and it's probably not because they don't wanna say more, they just can't because the people who know what to say are in Japan and for some reason it is extremely hard to ever get a response on any issue there is, unless its lodestone news worthy.
So basically this is just a big group therapy session, have fun guys

I can verify this. Got out of work, arrived home at 19:30 EST. Logged into game at around 19:36, 4k queue. Got 2002 error at around 19:50. Requeued, lost my spot, back to 4.2k. Got 2002 disconnected again at 20:05. The game is kicking people every 15 mins as OP says.

I never had a single 2002 error since their maintenance. I can sit in 5-6k queues and not get a single one. Not every 15 minutes, not after 30 minutes, not after 45 minutes, and so on. And I am not the only one. So I successfully challenged your claim.

I've had two 2002s while sitting in a queue for hours after my game crashed yday, what now?
