A couple of days ago I made this thread:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...and-Error-1017
Then SE announced their big maintenance that had happen last night.
I didn't try to login before work since I expected that everyone will be trying to get in, so I waited until lunch time.
So the moment of truth, I went home for lunch, fired my computer up, wait for the update, then BAM!
I was in -- just like that.
Just to be fair, you guys at SE did a very good job! :o
