Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail’s relatively smooth launch has hit its first hiccup. Earlier this evening, all servers across the North American Data Centers suffered a mass disconnection event that booted thousands of players.
Around 4:30pm CT, players began experiencing connection issues en masse in the form of error 90002, which disconnected them from the servers. Many were also hit with a lobby error 2002 upon trying to log back in, and were subsequently forced to reboot the game. Players trying to log back in immediately after the disconnection were faced with a login queue in the thousands as everyone rushed to get back in—a Dawntrail first for many, considering the unexpectedly fast login times since the launch of early access.
