Error 2002 when trying to connect to the Aether data center

[NinuSkeith]

I've been trying to connect to Aether (more specifically, Sargatanas) so I can get the queue started. I have been getting error 2002 each time I try. I've tried connecting to other data centers (Elemental, Primal, and Crystal), and have no issues getting into the queue on Tonberry, Ultros, and Mateus: it's only Aether. Any suggestions?

If you don't even get into the queue, it's because the total queue across all Aether servers has reached the maximum capacity of around 21,000.

Yeah if it was 7:55pm last night, it was probably just a very busy time. I jumped on around 10 and didn't get 2002 though still had a 2 hour queue. Fixing that 1.0 issue seems to have fixed a lot of the instant-2002 problems our DC was having.
