I could deal with the 1017 for hours, but this is the worst part for me. I can't help I'm on a legacy server, and have lots of interested friends wanting to play with me because naturally they're curious with the revamped game and PS3 copies.

I have trouble explaining to them or devising a solution. Some of them are frustrated because the process was already hard as it was with confusing account management. Best we have is "Well, level up somewhere else for now and come back via a realm transfer in September", but I feel like they won't stick around as long as they would have if the servers worked right in the first place, or characters could at least be made on popular realms but would have to wait in a long queue (why does 1017 exist anyway over a long queue?).

It stinks not being to play an MMO with well, other people.
