FFXIV Error 2002 Endwalker

Error 2002 When Logging In

“Error 2002” may be displayed when selecting a character in the Character Selection menu. This error is displayed when the login server is experiencing high amounts of traffic or when the number of characters waiting in a login queue for a logical Data Center exceeds 17,000. This is a measure to prevent the server from crashing due to extreme traffic overloads.

Should you encounter Error 2002 when attempting to log in, we apologise for the inconvenience, but ask that you wait a while before trying again.

Login Wait Times

When a World reaches the maximum number of players that can log in, it will result in a login queue for that particular World.

Even if the queue does not appear to be counting down, the queueing process is still functioning and will admit players in the order in which they queued. We apologise for the inconvenience, but ask that you patiently remain in the queue should you encounter wait times. Note that upon cancelling the queue, you will be moved to the back of the queue when reattempting to log in.

When a login queue is in place, players on the full version of the game will be prioritised for logging in. Free Trial characters will be able to log in after the login queue has been cleared. This allows us to prioritise our paying customers and will mean longer wait times for Free Trial users, but we would like to ask for your understanding on this matter.

Though we are expecting congestion across all Worlds, in Patch 5.57, we implemented a feature allowing you to log into a less-crowded World within the same Data Center as your Home World.

  • Open the Character Selection menu
  • Select the character you wish to log in with, and open the subcommand
  • Select “Visit Another World Server” to log in

While there will be restrictions based on the World Visit System, you will still be able to progress in main scenario quests, so we recommend considering this method depending on your situation.

* “Visit Another World Server” will automatically choose a less-crowded World within the same Data Center as your character’s Home World. Note that during peak congestion times, such as the Early Access period, you may experience login queues even when using this feature.

Automatic Logout

In order to ease congestion, players who are inactive for 30 minutes will be automatically logged out. This feature has been updated in Patch 6.0 and has been enhanced from the previous version.

As we would like to give priority to those who would like to actively play the game, we apologise for the inconvenience, but we ask for you to log out when you are not actively playing.

Wait Times for Instanced Content

There is a possibility that certain instanced content, such as duties required to progress through quests, may experience congestion. For instanced duties required to progress a quest, we have devised methods to stagger player traffic during main scenario progression, and have also implemented a queue system in case of congestion. Should congestion occur, your number in the queue will be displayed upon attempting to enter the instance. We ask that you patiently remain in the queue as players are admitted into the instance in the order that they joined the queue.
