Character creation lock - Need official answer ASAP

Dear Square-Enix,

Could you please give us more information about this "Locking system" you are using that prevent players that actually bought the game to play with their people. I find this very, VERY frustrating to know that my friends are currently playing and can reconnect to the locked server with a VERY small queue (or sometime no queue at all). For me, this mean that the server actually don't have so many ppl trying to connect to it.

Also SE did you think about server transfer? Could you please communicate at least something? I won't make an character on another server and never know if I can play someday with my friend! For me it's a complete waste of time like waiting in-front of a screen and hit refresh button.

Unfortunately I cannot google well on my phone. There is an official post saying server xfer will be available shortly after launch (square Enix time is unfortunately longer than shortly).

They lock servers and reopen them every few hours. I would just keep checking back.

Also, bump for your official response

Paid server transfers will be 2-3 weeks after launch. That being said, you will likely not be able to transfer to a server where they are not allowing the creation of characters. I'm in the same boat as you, I feel your pain. I have a few friends who convinced me to join them, I agreed, and I still can't play on their server (Hyperion). An official response to this would be nice. If they don't open up character creation on that server within the next 2 weeks, I will be moving on from ff for good.

Have patience. As everything balances out I'm sure they will unlock the worlds.

they lock servers for character creation while there are so many in the starting zones, as those zones clear out new characters can be created, people logging in with already created characters are generally not in those base starting zones

I'm so unlucky, got a tell that the server was open but 2 minutes after I log in it's closed. Square-Enix, could you please say something about this situation, this is going to waste my day -_-'

Moogles not been up for so much as a minute all nine hours today while most have been flipping in and out of accessability. makes me sadface :<

Bump, looking for an answer. Also I think we are not so many in this situation, because the forum and twitter is not so much crowded! At least give us an answer Square-Enix, it wont take so much of your time.

Bumping.
My GF and my cousin are waiting all day long for being able to create a character in Gilgamesh so we can all play together.
I don't think they'll look at this issue within EA.

Bump looking for an answer, 10 hours wasted trying to connect to a server!!

Servers crowded = slow servers so Square locked out new characters. I am confused why I can't stack all 7 of my alts on one server, but then if new players can't make new chars, no one can make new chars.

Just in from twitter feed: General: [NA] Character Creation Limitation (Aug. 24)

Not the answer I wanted to hear. My wife and I could easily move to a different server as her character got onto Excalibur and I cannot. Others say why not have your friends go with you? Unfortunately for me, I am in a 50-60 person guild and that is where we planned to be.

I was more hyped about FFXIV than my wife was and after being up all last night trying to get in till I passed out asleep and then again for half of this day: This is not how I expected my weekend to be. I know it is Early Access but that isn't the point in the end. Open Beta/Phase 4 should have wiped the characters and had them start properly in EA to allow for people to get to the friends they wanted to get to.
