A couple of days ago I made this thread:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...and-Error-1017

Then SE announced their big maintenance that had happen last night.

I didn't try to login before work since I expected that everyone will be trying to get in, so I waited until lunch time.

So the moment of truth, I went home for lunch, fired my computer up, wait for the update, then BAM!

I was in -- just like that.

Just to be fair, you guys at SE did a very good job!
