Yoshi-P FFXIV address: Endwalker login accident, compensation notice

If you’re one of those Final Fantasy XIV players suffering from the woes of logging into Endwalker, due to the long queues and the dreaded 2002 Bug, we can’t exactly tell you that? ??? Will get well soon. But thanks to a note from Yoshi-P we can tell you exactly what that 2002 error means, what can you do to prevent it from happening â ???? eh???? can????? because it is not guaranteed ã ???? and what the development team intends to do to compensate for that.

So let’s go with the good news first. Because this is such an issue, the FFXIV team is giving 7 days of free play time to everyone who owns the full version of the game and has an active sub â?? including players who still have the 30-day free period that comes with signing up for the game. If things continue as they are, they could extend their playtime in the future. We’ll just have to wait to hear about that.

In terms of practicality, obviously, the big problem is too many people trying to join at once. We all know that. If you don’t already know (I know some do.), more than 17,000 people trying to log into the data center at the same time is a problem. In fact, that’s one of the problems of Error 2002. Another cause is one that you can do.

Error 2002, the number two problem is packet loss or unstable network on the terminal. This causes a temporary disconnection. According to the post, this is a more common problem, and a possible way to fix it is to disconnect those ethernet cables and plug in the router yourself, rather than relying on Wi-Fi. Players on PlayStation systems are also encouraged to check their power saving settings and make sure not to disconnect your system from the network.

The post goes on to address other bugs and things like congestion during peak hours, what happens when you try to bypass auto-logout by jumping and the like. Those interested can read it in full on Final Fantasy XIV . website.
