The world is full please try again error - on character selection screen

[describable]

Hi yeah i'm getting the error 1017 on the character selection screen.

Normally what happens with your game, i hit "start" and it comes up "cannot find NA/EU World list" and after 30 times. It finds it. Then i see my character and THEN i get the error 1017.

Is this a way to just avoid character selection now and just give us error 1017 straight away. You appear to be having issues with your lobby right now too. I'd get that looked at. Losing customers is fun and all, but it's probably something you're trying to avoid.

-waits for the next apology to appear on the client when i start it up- "we're sorry for the inconvenience, we only just realised that people creating new characters were adding to the problem but since we stopped that, it's resulted in brand new errors across the system"
