I started with a group of 5 people on leviathan. However, on friend could not make a character. So do you know what we did? Instead of complaining, we all logged on together at the same time to see which servers were open and we just all rerolled. All of us have been able to get on every night without TOO much trouble.
Sure I understand rerolling with your entire FC doesn't work, but eventually you are going to prioritize. So what if I ditched my character and my fc, real life friends are 100x more important than my personal inconvenience.

not only are they locking out character creation, so those of us that have friends that want to play with us, can't, they are also marketing service accounts with a payment option, that says that i can make 8 characters on each sever, but i cannot i only have one and that's because i created it in 1.0... get your heads out of your ass SE, not only do you need to allow friends to play with friends, but you also need to leave room for those who are paying to have more than one character.
Your servers suck shit, and we told you that in beta, Numerous threads were made warning you that your servers were inadequate, and you blew them off every time.
During phase 3 testers complained that you had timers on dungeons, your response was that it was to reduce server load, red flag #1.
During phase 4 congestion was already so high that people had to roll on servers with out friends, and we warned you again that your servers needed to be upgraded, your response nothing, red flag # 2
Now you only add 3 extra servers, really 3... and where are the free server transfers that people so obviously assumed that you would offer... silence again that's what i thought...
so yeah i keep reading threads that say give them time, they are working on it, well the fact is they knew in beta (even designed dungeons with a timer in anticipation of this problem), they new on EA day, they damn well knew on release day... they have had time, they need to respond with more than 3 servers, people need to get fired at SE again... when Yoshi is forced to commit seppuku by the SE ceo, i hope they air that shit on youtube, so everyone can see.

I bought this game to play with friends as well. I am going on 5 days now and still unable to join their server even after this long maintenance that I believed was supposed to fix this. I understand the login queue and the abundance of people that want to play, that is great. But the fact that I cannot even wait to login and then create a character to join my friends is getting a bit infuriating. The character creation process in this game is completely backwards from what most of us are used to in other MMO's where once you are logged in you can create a character and viola you are in.
Something needs to change I really want to play with my friends on Cactuar and I am sure many other people want to play with friends on their servers. You guys need to allow people to login to the server first then create a character so that everyone can have the opportunity to play with friends and then the server cap and login limit can still exist and everyone can go on their merry way.

Well its like camping next to the com waiting for the restrictions to be lifted, which should not be considered viable. All my friends were able to join me last night for the brief open period...leveling the third time, but thats the price of playing with friends in this game atm.
Your solution would be waiting for xfer, or all reroll on the new server. While not ideal, but thats how you all gona play together, as much as we want to blame SE its not gona help your cause in the time being.
Just to add, an official announcement on server xfer and how that will be restricted by the current overloaded worlds would certainly provide some information for people to allow them decide how they wana overcome this issue.

Is Exodus still on the "can't create new characters" list?

Re-rolling would be an option if all the NA servers were open to character creation. As of 5:05 PM PST all NA servers are closed to character creation.
I say this as I have a friend who wants to join me yet they can not

Some friends and I decided that re-rolling on the new server would likely be best since we have not had a chance to play together yet. A couple made their characters earlier in the day. I just got home from work and now even the brand new NA server is locked for character creation. Only ones available on the NA/EU Datacenter are the two newest EU servers.
