You'll never get in even if you try. Especially now with all the patch monkeys back.... Took 3 days of staying up/getting up around 4:00 a.m. to finally get my wife on Balmung. So yeah, don't even bother

I just want to make my Au Ra on Balmung. :( Is that too much to ask?

*cries* I understand the restrictions, I really do. But for the good gods' sakes, let people who don't have the new race be able to make one!
((Sorry, tired and a lil cranky. Stayed up so I could do this))

Just Fantasia? Its folk such as yourself wanting 6 alts for every other day of the week that have put these restrictions into place.

Er, how do you figure? How ever many characters a player makes, they can only play one at a time, and by extension, only ever take up one space on the server at a time.

Because the server doesn't store any character data what so ever offline or on:rolleyes:

I actually purged all but 2 of my characters yesterday. The servers haven't caught up yet.

Server capacity is a function of how many players a server can handle actively playing at one time, not how many are stored. Merely storing data is trivial.

Soon(tm).
Hopefully they come up soon.
