Regarding New Players and Full Servers

Dear friends,

I recently got one of my good friends interested in playing the game. After purchasing the game much to our dismay we came to realize that he couldn't make a character on my server because it had reached it's population limit until an undisclosed time.

I do have an alternate character already leveled and located on my server (Sargatanas), but regretfully I already changed her appearance and name, so he would be stuck playing a character that isn't to his liking.

I bring to you two questions, any information on these topics would be most appreciated:

#1 Is there any word on when, or if, these restrictions will be lifted on legacy servers?

#2 Has any information been given yet regarding when, or if, paid race/sex/name change options will be made available?

Thank you in advance for your informational patronage.

Sincerely yours, Mijin Gakure - Disgruntled player

Eagerly awaiting your response

i to am waiting on been able to make a character on a legacy server,sitting here refreshing but does not show up as available yet=(

So it's something that frequently changes throughout the day?

I had the same problem on Behemoth man my friends couldn't make characters but then today BAM they got in with character creation so I think they are slowly opening up the servers while they upgrade them just be patient it will happen

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...42#post1079942 shows the current locked servers..has the one that i want to be on with freinds locked :(

Thanks for sharing the information.

Also in regards to change of character appearance:
The Phial of Fantasia is an item that you get for the first 30-day subscription, part of the veteran rewards. It allows you to remake your entire apperance and race, everything except name.

Same situation here, been trying on and off all day. But only NA servers are availible for new chars. Right now only Adamantoise is unlocked out of ALL the servers. Kinda scary..

Meanwhile at a Data Center somewhere in Canada...

Are you sure you can change your race withe The Phial of Fantasia? I really want to change from Lalafell to something bigger. It's getting boring running around as a midget :P

Over here is the Lodestone's page on veteran rewards. The image for the Fantasia is.. A male hyur to a female miqo'te.
That should speak volumes

Do we know if the phial will let us change names, if we change gender or race?

It has been confirmed that the phial does not allow a name change. Which is lousy for those that followed naming conventions and/or used a gender specific name. :(

What's frustrating to me is that, essentially, if we had AFK timers and a working login queue, we could probably afford to loosen restrictions on character creation.

I've been playing MMO's since EQ1 and I've never seen a developer outright tell customers "friends are not allowed to play together in our game."

My guild has been around for almost a decade, and some of us have played together for nearly that long. Two or three of us convinced about 30 people to buy the game, in order to play together. I'm annoyed, but not as angry as they must be, that they are not allowed to play with us. Two of them already canceled - they may check in again a few months later. Several others will not stick with the game if they are not permitted to play with their guild.

An MMO cannot function this way. Simply, no.

We've got quite a few guildies waiting for character creation to open up. BUt they opened Behemoth up, and that is a very populated server, so I am sure they are going down the line, slowly but surely. Doesn't mean the situation doesn't suck, but shows us a bit of hope ^___^
