Because I still get 1017 boot back and cannot update character list. Its always randomly one character list or the other, never both. And if i get unable to update JP character list, it persists until I restart the whole client - several times.

Ugh. Same problem here.
1017 isn't a bug, its the servers are full... not something you fix without adding more hardware (usually). In an MMO world "Server Maintenance" that lasts an hour or so stands for "something bugged and we hit the reset button" if there was real maintenance you'd have received a patch, or it likely would take longer to implement.
getting the 1017 "error" right after simply means 6000 people were waiting to get on just like you but there's STILL only room for 5000.
The 1017 is suppose to be addressed tomorrow Wednesday.
The problem for me is the Group JP worlds aren't showing up. I understand the whole 1017 issue. What I don't understand are the NA/EU Groups showing up but not the Group JP worlds, then backing out and the opposite happening.
I mean it doesn't even retry to update the list. It waits up to 3 seconds and then says "Fuck you"
Heh, very clever. I don't work for SE however I do work in IT (Server Administration even). So I do have theories about that. And as for "Assuming the technical support role" just trying to be helpful good sir. Not everyone on these forums spent years studying Servers and IT systems.
Edit- and yes all the issues described in this thread are caused most likely by overloaded servers. There's clusters for each phase, Launcher, Loby, "Server(world)", Duty finder and prolly several more not listed. at any point if too many people attempt to log on errors can occur including your client being "unable to retrieve NA/EU (or JP) server list," Funny thing about error codes is they tend to tell you EXACTLY whats going on >.>
The solution i've found is to completely exit the client and restart the process, if this doesn't work after a couple of tries the servers may be in the process of a restart OR there just may be more traffic than you'll ever be able to beat by trying to spam in. in which case try logging on at different hours (if you can and if you can't im sorry).
thank you very much
Edit Edit- and have a nice day ^.^
BS, because after several 1017's, several attempts to log in, it starts giving unable to update character list.
same issue different part of the pipeline
The maintenance was to fix disconnect issues. Not login issues.
She's right, we try and try and try then eventually it's like " Nahhh since you're an persistent douche I'm not loading your group list "
So now I'm going to wait for someone from SE to explain unable to update character list errors. Whiteknights are so annoying.
And so are trolls~
Yup, and most likely it involved a restart (tbh i doubt anything more)
they fixed the 90000 problem and they truly did
The maintenance was to kick off the NA players off the JP servers during JP's primetime. :P
This is probably very true.
Now the new question arises, why hasn't this magical fix everything patch fixed the 1017's?
Came back from work, 5 hours after maint ended, open client - 2002 client closed
Restart and get unable to update character list - again
Restart and now 1017's over and over
Wasnt this the patch that turns everything into rainbows and butterflies:confused::confused: Clearly not. And they add one damn world to JP data center and 2 to NA/EU data center and suddenly worlds aren't going to be full anymore? Lots of thought went into that one...
This wont end until they put in the prolonged afk kicks.
