Why is the game lying to me during character creation? said accepting new but isn't

I went and created a character. I selected Behemoth as the world which on the side, it says "This world is accepting new characters"

Which is 100% false and total BS. After I inputted a name for the character, then it said that it was NOT accepting new characters! When it said that it was accepting new characters, and allowed me to pick the world, it was a flat out lie! Behemoth is NOT accepting new characters, it ONLY said so when I selected the world as a home world JUST to say that the world is NOT after I created the name.

It is very ridiculous that the developers programmed this "lie" into the game. If Behemoth was not accepting new characters, I SHOULD NOT be able to even select the world to begin with. It was ALWAYS like that. But apparently they stuck this lie into one of their updates.

I could not select half the worlds as it is but the ONE World that WAS selectable was the one world that is not accepting new characters despite the fact that it SAID it WAS.

What is the point of adding this BS in with an update?

You are quick to call things lies when nearly all the time it is merely your own ignorance which is in play.

Which worlds accept new characters can change very quickly.
It is perfectly possible that a given world was accepting new characters when you chose the world, but by the time you had finished inputting the character name it was no longer accepting new characters.
No lies, just changing circumstances.

Once again you missed the Update (refresh) button when selecting worlds. Just because you can’t figure it out and missed the giant refresh icon next to the tick, SE is to blame. Good to see you are not swearing in your posts although it would have been funny to see you get banned for your temper tantrums.

Just refresh every 3 minutes and try again or try at off peak times like the rest of us. So long as the server is not locked (check the Lodestone) you will get in.

I'm sorry you were lied to. Try checking Lodestone, the worlds open for character creation are updated there.

We already have MPK, TitanMan and his alt accounts. We don't need another wannabe, trying-too-hard-to-bait troll. Shoo.

Nah I'd rather have even more of them around. The forum gets boring otherwise.

Same thing would have happened though and he'd be calling that site a pair for saying it is open but by the time he logged in, made the character and everything that the server was not accepting new characters.

He's upset that SE changes the server status every few minutes and calling SE a liar over it.

Nah, while they have inspiration droughts, some of their threads are genuinely creative and funny (and in the case of Titanmen he was actually (unintentionally) right once when he requested to stop the autodemolition timer due to the increase in cases at the start of the Covid pandemic).

Moltres threads all follow the format of:

" I did X/what X told me.
X doesn't work/is too hard/lied to me.
~~ 3 paragraphs of hyperbole interlude ~~
This is somehow Squarenix's fault".

I'm sure you can train a bot to make Moltres' threads.
