Start Button isn't clickable - Error 2002/5006 Lobby error - game closes

[JillyBean]

Unable to log in this morning at the moment because my start button won't even allow me to press it.

I get either a 2002 or a 5006 "Lobby server connection has encountered an error".

I'm getting the same issue.

Getting same error. And one would've thought Yoshi's apologizes would mean something...

It will mean something next week when the data centers get upgraded.

SE needs to get a MUCH better lobby server. It is bad when a world is full, but at least we can pick another world to play on. But issue is we cannot even get to the character selection screen.

If they are having this kind of issue with 300-350K connections, and we are only at launch, how will they ever be able to increases in the sub base to millions?

Yeah I'm getting the 2002 error, jeez all this crap is starting to get annoying.

It's also the weekend.. so people are flooding the game right now. Sorta a pain.

I was just getting this 2002 error and unable to click start.

After restarting my computer, I can click the start button but I then keep getting a 1017 error while trying to load the character selection menu. How can the world be full when I haven't even tried to log into it yet? -_-

I had 2002, couldn't close the game either. After about 20 mins of 2002 and trying to close the game I just killed it from the task manager and restarted it. Now I can see chars on NA/EU but get 1017 when trying to access them, and on the JP chars it won't even populate the list. Going to take a break then try logging in again later.
