No ETA and it won't happen until the queues across all worlds die down. Given many like my own still get 3K+ around prime time... It would have been crummy to keep sales going when they still can't get the parts they need to set up more servers. The data centre they'll be implementing next is Oceania, so after that happens, adding servers elsewhere can be addressed.

Servers are currently melting into slag. No idea.

Won't happen until they can get more servers setup and that will be awhile with the shortage.

I don't think it will happen before Ishgard Housing is all bought up. That's going to be a queue horror even worse than patch day.

Sadly it's not gonna be anytime soon.

MAYBE Spring?

It depends on how fast queues die down.

I barely have to queue now, haven't seen a queue above 100 for a couple of weeks now. they should be okay to reopen sales.

You have to consider other server's queues. Some are still very long.

It's tough to say. Some servers, such as my own, have virtually no queue at all even on the weekend or in prime time. A "bad" queue for me lately has been maybe 80+ people, so it' resolves in a minute or two at most. Some servers still see thousands and an actual wait. It's definitely not evenly distributed so it depends a lot on exactly what numbers they are looking at. I would say they could definitely reopen sales now but make sure to heavily limit new character creation.

If they follow every corporate line, we will not get the next news about it until after Jan 31st.

then they could just restrict character creation to certain servers for now.

They should reopen sales and new characters can only be created on your server then. I am sitting in a 3k queue right now, keep them away from my server.

If they restricted it certain servers then people would complain and want a refund for not being able to join thier friends server.

better than closing it off completely, not everyone will want to be on friends server, some just want to play the game.

Twintania gets high queues around 7-10pm. It may just be that you're getting on early or around midnight.

Last night around 10:30(22:30) I had a queue of 1077.

I think they said in an interview they should have be able to comment on it sometime next week.
