Won't solve anything, people in the JP forums are complaining about not being able to log in, too, though they don't nerd rage nearly as much as NA players. In the English forums you'll see dozens of threads all saying the same thing, as if not being able to log in is anything new. In the English forums people will not even read the sticky posts and just post a new thread as if them complaining about a known issue is going to change anything.

There have been a few times that I go to log in and the NA/EU list comes up but the JP world list can't load. Due to the large time difference you will likely be able to play on JP servers during the week without a problem, but on the weekends prepare for the same 1017 errors.
