Error 1016 Unable to retrieve world data

[RSS News]

I previously have submitted a bug for error 3084 that has been resolved with the most recent maintenance patch. I am now able to login and connect to NA data centers. I can now get to character select. Now, when attempting to access my character, I receive error 1016, world data could not be retrieved. I suspect this is related to my previous error. I have a post in accepted bugs if that is needed to be referred to.

Date & Time: This began 10/20/2026
Frequency: Every time I attempt to login to my character.
World name: Aether/Faerie
Character name: Dorian Wingstrom

Steps:
1. Login to FFXIV
2. Connect to Aether Data Center
3. Attempt to login to Dorian Wingstrom
4. Error 1016


Connection Specs
- Type of internet connection/provider: 2g Fiber, Ideatek local ISP in KS, USA
- Modem maker/model number: TP-Link BE9300 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router, through which I am connected via Ethernet.
