This is a known issue. They did not anticipate the server loads that they got when this game launched. I tried to log in today so I could possibly play an hour before work, and am getting 1017 errors as well. Once they increase the servers and make it so people can't log in and AFK for hours on end, then these issues should work themselves out. I have never played an MMO right at launch where I did not experience these types of issues. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
