Creating characters...?

That's one thing that gets me. Apparently Cactuar is soo~ full that no one can make new characters on it yet I can log in at almost any time of day and only have 5 people in the queue ahead of me at most (while other severs have close to 100)? Something doesn't add up.

This will repeat the cycle for the third week in a row. Not to mention you can play. I can play. We already have our toons created. Your position would be COMPLETELY REVERSED if YOU were the one unable to create a god damn toon for two weeks in a row. These people are unable to get on here and bitch about ti because they cannot create their characters. Quit fanboying it up broski - I love the game just as much as everyone else which is why it makes it so frustrating to see my friends dropping like flies since they can't get in weeks down the road. It isn't an unreasonable request after all. The only thing unreasonable in this thread have been the likes of you saying we should just deal with it. Yeah why dont YOU try dealing with it?

Wow angry much? Its just a game. So what if you cant play with your friends on the server of your choice. I mean you are pretty much telling everyone here to delete there characters and gtfo so your friends can create a toon on your server. Won't work that way.

From all your post I've read, you need to accept the fact that you cant have what you want at this moment. Computers we'rent made in two weeks. Neither will your situation be resolved anytime soon. That glass is full, so go grab some cookies and start drinking.

PS: There are other MMO games out there you can play.

That's really depressing as Cactuar is where I need to be. It would imply that all the other servers that are fluctuating between being available and unavailable are doing so based on population logged in while Cactuar is just manually locked.

Wow reading comprehension skills are lacking I see - this is what's wrong with the current generation kids DONT PAY NO TENSHUN TO WHAT THAY READ. Never once did I tell anyone they should delete their characters. I said that SE should give us a day and time when we WILL be able to choose our server to play on with our friends - so our friends are not stuck for hours and days and weeks on end clicking"refresh" every three minutes. Unless of course SE doesn't care about gaining or losing customers. Two weeks is a long time from the standpoint of - it's a fully released and paid for PRODUCT. This does not deliver. Pretty simple concept. Most people agree, it's pretty stupid that two weeks after release we still cannot play on the server we desire and SE has made ZERO comments on when we can expect this issue to be fully resolved. If you feel that it is unreasonable to expect communication from the company with which we just bought a product from then you my good sir, are in the extreme and idiotic minority.

Also most of you are forgetting - if you cannot create a character you cannot post on this forum. JUSTICE FOR THE VOICELESS HORDES OF PEOPLE UNABLE TO CREATE CHARACTERS. Also bump for a response from SE

This also. If they'd just say "you can create a character on Monday, guaranteed" then I wouldn't be spending my week clicking refresh.

Sorry to add fuel to this fire but I have been trying to join Siren for a few days now. Today is the first time that it does not have the "restriction" message when I select it. When I got to load it then gives the "character creation unavailable" message. It shows as available. So do we have to wait until next week to get onto the servers our friends are on or is it possible to get on at say 4am when everyone else is asleep? BTW I love how Devs at MMO launch say "We had no idea how popular our game would be! This is a huge surprise to us!" when all it comes down to is cheaping out and cutting costs at the expense of their customers...

Add as much fuel as you like! I'm trying to get SE to see that this is a major issue and there are many many more people who cannot complain because they cannot post. They at least need to give us a definite day for each server so people know and can get on with their lives until then. SE response please?

Better not be full! I was given 8 character slots of which I have 6 still theoretically available. Each world has a pop max of 40-60k. I want my other characters please.

I finally got onto Sargatanas through all the 1017 crap last week and was RIGHT at the end of making my tank character when SE shut down the new Char making ability. Right at the very moment I clicked the world to join it.
That tanking toon would have then joined my three friends who had each made the correct specs to make us a dungeon group, but now my friends are thinking of asking someone else to be their tank, and I'm out in the cold with just dps caster types.
I am beyond angry and so are a ton of other folks...

I also sympathize with those who have been trying to create characters since launch and have not yet been able to. My girlfriend has been trying to get into my server (behemoth) for a few days now and has not yet been able to. I find it incredibly ridiculous that their free 30 day trial timer has been running, even though they have not been able to play the game at all. I believe this adding of 7 days to everyone's subscription is nowhere near the appropriate compensation for the the inconveniences that many people have been faced with in terms of being able to play a game that was PAYED for. I mean if this sort of problem was in a free MMO, then I'm sure people would still be upset, but a lot more compliant in terms of being patient, but when you are actually paying real money for something you can't do anything with... then there needs to be a lot more compensation. 2 of my friends have been able to successfully join behemoth since I did, but my girlfriend is the last one, and has yet to be able to create a character, which is why I am posting this on her behalf, as she cannot post due to not currently possessing a created character. After seeing how full the servers got, as quickly as it happened, SE should have owned up to their mistake, shut down all the servers, suspended everyone's subscriptions, and sent a notice saying that they needed a week or so to upgrade their equipment cause they were not ready for this many people. Taking people's money, and not giving them really anything back for it, isn't right.

For those who have got into the game already, yes most things are fine and dandy, but for those who purchased the game at launch (or earlier) and have not been able to get into the game... to be told that they are being given 7 days extra for free is like a slap in the face because those 7 days have not even compensated for how long they have been waiting.

.... just my 2 cents.

Bump for response from SE!
