Cannot connect error 2002

[BaconMage]

Finally got into the lobby and the NA/EU servers aren't showing up.

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.

The staff are all sleeping or decided to take the rest of the holiday weekend off. But seriously same errors here and I'll throw my city in the mix for kicks : Atlanta.

PS3 user getting these same errors in the same fashion-- start button graying out, getting 1017 and 2002 before character select screen can even load, no characters even loading if I'm lucky enough to make it that far, and all the other usual fun we end up having with squenix when it's the weekend.

It's getting more and more difficult to make a post reporting an issue on these forums and not flip the fuck out... I probably wouldn't be sitting here consumed with rage if this shit happened to me some time other than the weekend when I can actually play and make some progress.

Oh well. Cheers squenix, you've got me bent over a log once again!

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)

I just came back from having breakfast hoping this issue was resolved and its not. Does SE even know there is a problem? Their website shows everything working as normal.

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.

[AreeSoothsayer]

Was up late last night, around `1:30 Pacific Standard Time I got the 90000 error. Tried to log back in but no go. Missing JP or NA/EU lists. 2002 error tons of times, 1017 twice.
