Cannot connect error 2002

[Desera]

I'm getting the greyed out Start link and then "The lobby server connection has encountered an error" "2002". My concern on this one is it kicks me out of the application and I've got an authenticator so I'm burning through the numbers every time I try to get in. At least with the other errors I just needed to click on Start over and over again. Of course my preferred method of being delayed is getting into a queue so I can see the count down.

Wish there was a notification on the issue and an estimated time to check back.

I'm getting errors-

- 1017 - World is full please wait for opening.
- 5006 and 2002 - Start button grayed out/Lobby error.
- Unable to Update JP character list.

Oh my god...Please fix these problems.

After spaming the lobby screen to get the server list, Im getting now 1017. Te strange thing is that now after selecting start it automatically sends me 1017.

Now I have no idea wtf happened and if I will be able to play again.

Im on PS3 btw .

Anyone getting these errors should run a ping test to a random website to see your connection before/during/after trying to log in to FFXIV.
I have been doing this and FFXIV seems to be causing a overall connectivity issue when you try to login and you should see your internet connection stabilize once it kicks you or you exit out.

ALSO, I notice now when its a connection issue by simply watching how the Rating Screen and "Square Enix" logo show up before you get to the start button. Both will appear as if they are stuttering or it takes a long time to get to the actual start button.

(If you do see some sort of connectivity issue when doing this, there is a sticky up on the tech support forum regarding ISP possibly throttling the connection and it maybe related. Please add your info there for visibility)

And I still get the error.

Tested a second server in the interim of waiting for the 'Start' button to turn:

Your doing a speedtest, I recommend you start a ping test from the command line to random website before and let it run for a bit. Then start up FFXIV, let that run its course (whether it kicks you out or you exit) then let the ping test run a bit more before stopping it. Go over it and see if there is a connectivity issue (Like a "Request Timed-Out") around the times you were starting up FFXIV

I was doing standard pings and trace routes long before today. Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary in any of them. Also just got passed 2002, hitting the NA/EU character list error again. Definitely not an issue on my end.

I don't mean to imply that it is an issue on your end, just want to have people watch there connecting during the entire process to see if FFXIV is causing a connection issue.

From what you posted, I am unsure if you have done the ping test recently before/during/after trying to connect to FFXIV, this is all I am trying to confirm.

im in the 2002 grey out club no functioning start button was fine last night

Also getting 2002 errors and 1017 errors before it loads anything. I'm just wondering where SE's PR department is in all this? Where are the forums administrators? I really hope they push back the start of the billing cycle to next week when they get more servers or I have a feeling that we wont need the servers for lack of players.
