WRONG, It took me 6 days of constant trying after work from 5pm to 11pm to just to even create a character, granted i may not have sat at the computer for 6 hours straight but sometimes up to 2 hours straight refreshing the world every 3 minutes i did do. I do have a life. Now that i have created a character i get the constant 1017 errors but the longest it has taken me so far to log in when i needed to was around 30 minutes.

Regardless there is no excuse for such poor planning, even yoshi admitted that fact!
