From what I understand, the way their patcher packaging works, they have to update a big chunk to make a few minor changes. Anyways I got that info off of reddit where someone did a comparison before and after patch, so I would just try it (make backups of her originals of course) and see if it works.

Yeah I got this shit twice tonight the two times I tried to enter an instance. Not even gonna bother running any untill they fix this shit. On a positive note the 1017 is gone and I can log in and out no problem. Just a small queue on malboro.

From what others were saying, you'll get those emails if you try to log in from a different computer than what you normally log in from. As far as the merging, I think Sean posted some stuff a few pages back on what to do to get it done properly.
Yes seems like they traded one problem for another , every on my server was saying using duty finder was guaranteed ticket to an error 9000 disconnect , had it happen myself , so I could get in and play without the 1017 , just couldnt do dungeons at all.
Ran 4 darkhold instances no problem tonight on gilgamesh. Had no disconnect problems or any other issues.

Yesterday was my real first day of playing this game. I was able to make a character on Gilgamesh. I played my bard to level 15 without getting kicked out the game. By the way talk about a fun class. Really loving the game. It's the most beautiful MMO I ever played.

The good news is they seemed to fix the log in issues, logged in twice last night during prime time, no queue or error, straight in. The bad news is it seems they probably need to adjust duty finder again since it's still having issues dropping random people. You do have to wonder how long they are going to continue to halt sales (I know amazon had it open a little). The longer it goes, it's going to kill momentum for more sales.
I like the game, it good but I'm also realistic about it. I know it's only going to last so long for me, probably a month or so because I haven't seen anything that would keep me playing beyond that. The allure of Final Fantasy can only last so long before I realize I'm playing pretty much the same game as WoW, Rift, etc., and none of those games hold my attention for very long anymore.

I'm not even able to download the patch. I'm getting the error where it will just tell me to restart the launcher.
Why can't this be a normal launcher and actually save your progress :/

Exactly this, but then again that's all mmos. The running joke of "The patch to fix the patch" is always a constant where they add/fix something and break something else already working.
I'd say the difference here is that they took an issue that was far more serious (a player cannot even log into the game whatsoever) and replaced it with a less serious issue than that (a player can relatively easily login, but cannot stay connected longer than X minutes/hour), which indeed is progress.
Drove me nuts because I was one of those people that could get on whenever I wanted in beta/first week, and now can't stay connected longer than 45 minutes. I've ruled out any dungeons or those ridiculous FATE loops altogether, just leveling up crafting (easy stuff so I don't blow up HQ mats), mining/harvesting and fishing.
Not to bad because I was actually enjoying that stuff far more than I'd ever think unlike other WoW based mmos. When I think of the "crafting" I did in Rift, I shudder now at how much little thought went into it in retrospect.

Was pleasantly surprised in Stone Vigil. One wipe (on a trash pack where I aggroed extra mobs, as hearing range on bard songs is larger than expected) and zero problems on any of the bosses without anyone having been through the dungeon before.
Now they just need to fix the rewards for dungeons.

Played for 4 or 5 hours yesterday after work, pugging the last 3 duty finders for the final leg of the Story quests. It was pretty awesome, cutscenes were great, watched the entirety of the ending credits. Only problems I had was getting disconnected a few times and 3102'd, but was able to get back in after waiting 3-4 minutes. There were also a few moments of instance lag and everything rushing to catch up which sucked.
It's been a really surprisingly enjoyable experience 1-50. The pacing and difficulty of the game is surprisingly well done and feels perfect. Everything from solo questing, public quest FATES, even dungeons. Looking forward to joining the item/token treadmill, crafting and repair money sink endgame we love to hate.

I think there is also a general case of those having fun w/o problems are quiet here because they are playing the game, while the ones having issues are more vocal. Other than a 10 minute period of 3102 yesterday, the game has been running great for me and there were over 100 online in the FC last night. I was careful to not log out after logging in, so the last problem I personally have encountered was the duty finder overload that first saturday and a bit of "world full" after that.

Thanks asshole, now I had to explain why I was laughing like an idiot to people in the office. That was...awkward.
