Open up server registration/character creation

This is absurd. Most of our guild got on Leviathan without issue during beta 4. You graciously let us keep our characters from there, but now Leviathan is apparently permanently locked (save maybe 5 minutes saturday morning where we got one person in) along with 3 other servers, and we have friends that can't join.
-No word about possible character transfers
-Zero communication about opening up registration

This is an MMO. I have never, in well over a decade of different MMOs, had these kinds of problems playing with friends. The official response (saturday night, anyways) seems to be "tough shit, start over elsewhere." Even FFXI's joke of a system would be preferable to this. You've got half our guild ready to quit the game outright, and rightfully so, because they can't play with their friends IN AN MMO.

I sincerely hope registration opens back up for release, or you're going to have quite a few people ready to drop this game altogether. Would it be so hard to send out a tweet saying "hey we're opening up X servers for the next hour"? Maybe just tell us specifics on which servers are opening when... Pathetic.
