Cannot connect error 2002

[Tsuroku]

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.

I am having the same problems so far I have received error (5006,2002, and 1017) I am on PS3, I already reconnected my PS3 to the internet and My connections are good. I also restarted the PS3 and My modem, so far I can go to every website, Play any game except for FFXIV. It must be their end.

Same error since 7:00 AM, I've never received the 2002 error. I read the thread and tried everything from ports, restarting my communication device, ect. Still not a solution. I'm on PC.

I don't believe it's on my end because I have never had this problem before, I haven't installed anything new on my computer that might compromise connection issues with any games I play.

We need more solutions to this problem than just that thread that is stickied.

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)

Ok so whats the issue when all ports are forwarded ping test is good. Connection is great 92 down 56up. No router hooked up at the moment for the ping test and connection test and to see if i still have the error. Which i didnt before ive been playing since EA after getting past server full issues error started happening after a disconnect last night while i was playing. Now cant get past the error 2002.

I am not sure what the issues is and by no means am I implying it is a connection issue on our end. What I am trying to determine is if FFXIV itself is causing a connectivity issue.

I also did not have any issues with my connection. The only time it gets completely unstable is when I open up FFXIV and it gets better as soon as I turn it off. You can see this for yourself if you run a ping test to a different website and let it run its course while you try to connect to FFXIV. The more information if it is a bigger issue affecting us all the better.

bump
a few tries where I didn't get 2002 error, the next screen cannot pull NA/EU server info

[Vex_Inferno]

I don't know how, but I just logged in. I just had to keep entering my password and hope t get into the server. Must be an overload of JP players on NA/EU since theirs is down. Maybe that's why were having this connection issue. I could be wrong though

1.0, beta tests out the ass, a previous mmo... and still all this bullshit. I hope some people are getting fired over this waste of time.

I got 2002 first, have been logged of from ps3 and receive an empty NA/EU list since then.And there are no information from square enix regarding this issue.I wonder when square enix solve the server problems without the login restriction crap.
