Here's a head-scratcher for you all.

I try to log in today, fully expecting the 1017 error but resolute anyway...yet before I even can get to my character screen to click 'log in', I get the 1017 error.

That's right. Apparently the servers are SO FULL that I can't even see the character select screen. Just THINKING about logging in is causing them to kick me out.

Something is very not-right about this.
