then i was redirected to the ship selection pare.. please help :/
Just started asking around the domestic Japanese players.
Did you try PC Cloud server? Neither?
EKAM, "code 249" might return as a result that someone filtered packets or the port.
Having connection problems too
Some hours ago in the morning the pso2es version worked now none works
Error code 249 in pc and the do you have internet? on mobile
With the tweaker and the official launcher
I'm not banned since i can access the pso2.jp
Did SEGA drop support for the filthy west?
No partner card for best girl Khorshid?
What a terrible event.
"Characters created with Phantasy Star Online 2es are not linked, thus aren't playable.
Please return to "Phantasy Star Online 2es" and finish the character linkage.
You will be able to play once you have completed the process.

idk why but i already linked my pso2 account to pso2es and still cannot log in, thats message always appears when log in my account 🙁
looks like i wasnt alone..
I am getting that to. Its a bummer for sure.
I'm with the same problema. Some solution?
I keep getting:

When i try to log into a Ship. This happened after the March Update for both pso2 and es. Is anyone else having this problem? Also, all my characters are linked to PSO2es, I don't know why I am getting this message (I have been playing for years with the PSO2es app)
Solve the error? This is hapening to me too…
Where do you rejected people try to connect from? North America?
In the summer of 2014, tons of foreign users reported that they had gotten difficulties in connecting to JP servers. Some also had met "code: 249" and other errors.
The truth is not clear, but it was rumored as following: they mostly are from Southeast Asia. PSO2 SEA version had started service since the spring. SEGA and the local admin company had agreed to separate their turf of business. So the JP server had kicked the requests from SEA domains. (*)
Now, the North American service for Xbox One began operation commercially…
* However, some said that it was a backlash of the countermeasures for the notorious DDoS attacks in June of that year because not a small number of non-SEA/non-JP domain people had suffered too. Some others said that was because of botch of AOL (one of the major ISPs).
I am connecting from NA. Seems like an odd error message especially when every char is linked with pso2es.
Nice to know I'm not the only one getting this error.
