Won't load character select, among other problems. Anyone else currently having this?

First weekend since Early Access, why did I expect any different?

[Kort]

It's a three day holiday weekend here in the US so don't expect to get online for the next few days. Thanks for nothing SE. Do me a favor and call me when YOU decide I can log into and play the game I bought. I am done trying to log in. This game is good but it's not worth the 200 hassles most of us have had to endure just to NOT be able to play the game on our own schedule.

Do us all a favor: Stop with your empty BS apologies.

Same world as OP. Same issues. Mostly 1017, then a few "EU/NA servers", now greyed out START and lobby 2002 errors that then close the entire program forcing me to completely log in again, rewatch the rating label and SQUEENIX logo, only to have it happen again. I think i'm gonna take a nap and watch a movie and forget about ARR today.
