uhhh so still 1017...?

Few my friends still have the 1017... O_O"

Same here :S

They're either limiting initial log ins so the server doesnt commit suicide or the game is still borked.

Give it a second. I'm sure there are thousands of people trying to get on right now. The server load just went from minimal to maximum load in 5 seconds. Let it breathe.

They already said they're limiting the amount of people logging in after patch so yes you'll still get the error, reading would have told both you and your friends this in advance.

yea, they said that right after maint they will restrict logins but it will be just to prevent servers from crashing after the usual "Maint over -> all login at once"

http://www.arrstatus.com/ for those of us who cant read :3

they had stated they were using caution when bringing them back up. have some paitence on the 1017 thing

Don't need to there is a sticky explaining everything on this site, has been for like 2 or 3 days, simple reading and understanding fills in the blanks for those of us who took time to read it.

Rofl. I've been logged in for over 30 minutes.

AND made a new character.

Logged in, was placed in a short queue, entered the game. It remains to be seen how it performs long term of course, but it was a pleasant sight :)
