Should I give up on trying to play today?

[Uveck]

I've been trying to log back in for over 3 hours now and I still get the 1017 error.

I don't see a time table on when they are going to allow more people to log-in. Should I just give up trying to log in today?

Error: 1017
World: Balmung
Char: Uveck Lord

EDIT: Looks like they are going to do maintenance in an hour.

We will be performing maintenance at the following date and time in order to address login issues being experienced on Worlds hosted on the North American and European datacenter.During this period, players will be unable to log in to the Worlds listed below.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.
