Exodus - Character Creation

Greetings,

As of writing this post my wife cannot make a character on the server myself and my friends have been working on. The client indicates that at this time this server is no longer accepting character creation. The current listed servers include: (source: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...7c4fb326b4a1fd)

Adamantoise
Balmung
Behemoth
Cactuar
Carbuncle
Cerberus
Diabolos
Excalibur
Fenrir
Garuda
Gilgamesh
Hyperion
Ifrit
Leviathan
Midgardsormr
Moogle
Odin
Phoenix
Ragnarok
Ramuh
Sargatanas
Shiva
Ultros


At the bottom of this post indicates: In the event of any changes in the situation, follow-up news posts will be posted here as well.

Please re-open exodus per this post indication.

my conclusion no update = bug

Just found another indication of the same information with no additional updates.

***Update***
Just logged in on my account on Exodus, and it's an immediate login with no queue. This makes no logical sense. Open this back up like it's supposed to be.

Because you're special and SE should drop everything right now to tend to your needs.

Even the servers are open, they open and close certain ones to direct players in that direction. If you refresh every 3 minutes, the open list will change back and forth.

Good luck.

... More along the lines of if they close a server they need to make sure to update it on the forums as they have previously stated they would be. Specifically I have been refreshing the thing every three minutes for the past hour and guess what, Exodus doesn't come up, currently 80% of the Japanese servers are up, and 2 NA and 1 EU server is up. and that's been like that for the past 15 minutes.

Especially if they are down for over an hour.

So return the game and ask for your money back. Clearly you're not happy. Might as well quit.

Then there will be more room for the rest of us who aren't as bothered by these problems and are hopeful they will all go away soon enough.

Im in the same boat screwed a bunch of times already still having no luck i was a 1.0 legacy bought PC collectors eddition that i cant apply to my account, great ty SE. Okay so ill bite the bullet, abandon my 1.0 legacy char i wanted to join my friends on another server anyways and with all the server troubles who know when server xfers will be done. So i created new account registered my pc collectorss edition. But of course cant create a char on any server . Only 2 servers up for new chars. One NA and one EU i would like to play with my friends

I'm scared to leave the game...

It appears that you aren't bothered by this as you already have a character, most likely already logged in, in a guild and have all your friends and/or family logged in. Being nasty about this serves no purpose, only to be rude. If my posts bother you so much don't read them, and certainly don't reply to them. Honestly it serves no merit.

*shrugs* but hey it's the internet, guess you can't expect respect here.

I almost agree but really these problems will not go away unless everyone that has them keeps reporting it to hopefully motivate them that its worth it to do more to fix these issues.

They need to hire a lot more customer service reps for one things.

When logging into my account I was able to get into Exodus with no queue so I'm not sure about other servers, but I think exodus would be fine to log out of. (that was also about an hour ago, not sure of current status)

easy there mdawg, i learned in english in school like everyone else. Whats the point in you responding if you have nothing constructive to say

I've been waiting to make a character on Exodus for awhile as well.. Been refreshing the page for the last two hours and watched the server list go from 5 NA/EU to now 2 servers.. Getting sad now since my husband and all our friends have been playing forever.. Gonna have soooo much catching up to do!!

I've been leveling side classes waiting for my wife to get in, gonna go White mage once I can. So I know what you mean. My friend is about to hit 30 Arcanist shortly and we both started at the same time.

Yeah i would have to agree with Tsobail with a potty mouth like yours it seems your the one who needs to "grow the fuck up"

I will ask again to refrain from posting here since you are not contributing anything of merit. I will maintain reporting you for harassment, if you continue. You've already made your point concerning the fact that you do not agree with us voicing our opinion, and I respectfully disagree that we are incorrect in that regard. I believe that without voice (or in this case forums) Square-Enix will never know what we think. There is no ETA on when or if they will add a character transfer. So instead of giving up and stating it's a lost cause I will continue to work towards getting a character for my wife on the server that Myself and my friends have chosen.

Elaborating on that, it is a proven fact that if you play games like MMOs, FPSs, RTSs or any other video game with friends it is much, much more enjoyable. I will not punt my wife off to a different server because you disagree with my methods, nor will I allow you to harass anyone else with constructive advice, in a similar situation on Exodus or another server.

***Update***

Exodus still doesn't have any login queue when attempting to log in.

Never mind. Enjoy your waste of a thread.

Famfrit (NA) Just went down and cannot make characters on it. This server was just created today.

Only 2 servers that are now available are Lich (EU) and Pheonix (EU)

Find it funny mdwag, where not demanding anything. But for some reason you seem so mad lol Im having a blast just reading your posts. Who needs the actual game

FEED THE TROLL. FEED IT!

Sorry, what? I could barely understand what you wrote. Pretty sure you're not supposed to start sentences with "but" either.

Anyway, back to killing Svara.

Pretty sure you are also demanding that they reopen the server you want to create a character on... At least it sure sounds like it by the 3rd post of this thread... of which was a 2nd bump - showing the OPs sense of entitlement.

oh snap I thought you left *grins*

thats ok i like a good feast. If my improper grammar and spelling keeps you posting ill be entertained all night! hope to hear from you soon troll

I don't recall demanding anything even in the first few posts of this thread. This started more as an inquiry concerning why the server was black listed when there was and still is no Log in queue for Exodus. While digging around I found their original indication as to reasoning to shut down the creation of characters on servers.

Regarding Limits on New Character Creation As a result of this maintenance, it is now possible to accommodate an increased number of simultaneous logins in the various Worlds; therefore, we have now lifted the New Character Creation restrictions in the majority of Worlds in which restrictions were in effect. New players who are just starting a game or those who would simply like to create a new character can do so by finding a World which has had the restrictions lifted, and creating a character there.

Please note that there is a tendency for characters to become concentrated in certain Worlds, causing login numbers to jump up in those particular Worlds. In order to create a population balance between Worlds, we will continue to be implementing New Character Creation restrictions in overly congested Worlds.

We will monitor the situation, and in the event restrictions may be lifted, follow-up news posts will be posted. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and ask for your patience and understanding.

Currently there is not a single server in NA that is available for character creation less then 24 hours after the induction of a new server. And at this time there are no updates concerning black listed servers minus what is available on Lodestone News (general news forum as well). Which in both locations it indicates that they will keep status updates. The latest update occurred at 1:26 PM (CST) over 5 hours ago. I'm just looking for and will remain looking for an ETR so I can tell my wife how long she has to wait to play a game we purchased.

Just got my boyfriend a copy and we went to make characters on Famfrit and no go! We have to play on an EU server now. Less than 24 hours after maintenance.

Meh, never mind, not worth the effort or the forum warning.

Appears a group of servers have opened up including Famfrit and a few others.
Exodus is still awol but will post a detailed list momentarily

*Edit*
NA Servers:
Famfrit
Lamia
Faerie
Siren

EU Servers:
Lich
Pheonix

For the time being, trying to stay on top of it. If it takes till 6AM CST to get on exodus I'll make sure I get my wife there *grins* but we'll see

Well this thread makes me sad. I was really hoping that with this big maintenance my fiance would be able to make a character on my realm with me. I'm in my free 30 days for purchasing the game but if, by the end of that time, he still can't play on Coeurl with me then I won't be giving SE more of my money.

Oh noes, Get his login info ASAP and get it for him!

I've texted him asking for it. I hope he gets a break in class and sends me the info. Otherwise it'll be another couple hours.

Any news on when are we gonna be able to start creating characters in closed servers?

I've not seen anything new minus my previous update. Specifically it appears they may be updating the lists every 4-6 hours concerning adding new ones. My sample is to small to be sure at this time though. regardless when they added, they added approximately 6 servers to the avail list, and remove them in succession as the avail slots at the time fill up.

Fast as the servers open for new character creation they're getting filled by the RMT's. There is so many of them at the moment I'm reporting literally every 5-10 minutes, and have half-filled my blacklist on today alone :(

server i wanted just opened up for creation Woot
