3 servers already locked down less than 45 minutes after launch? WTF?

[JyoonB]

Only took me about 40 minutes to even get the character screen to load....then when I go to create new character on Leviathan server with friends... Moogle (EU), Leviathan (NA), and Gilgamesh (NA) are already locked by 5:45AM Eastern?

Was bad enough this crap happened during Beta4 with the limited number of players....but now that we are live, they should have a high enough cap to prevent this kind of crap.

Perhaps we need to all get a free one time use transfer voucher when they activate the world transfer service?

Edit:
And now Behemoth (NA) is down when I refreshed at 5:58PM Eastern. Guess we have no choice but continue on with characters from Beta and hope we can find or friends next month... sucks we'll have to pay to do what was implied we would be able to do for free during creation--join the proper server with our friends.

We are honestly still in beta.

We are honestly not in beta. MMOs shouldn't get a free pass to give customers a bad experience. Problems like this have already been solved by other MMOs for years with overflow servers, alternate channels, or even a simple queue system.

Would be nice if they at least let ppl create the character on the server they want, then just stick em in a queue.

This! A queue system would be better than just locking servers. My friends are making characters on other servers because they don't know if they ever will be able to make one on mine. Now what am I supposed to do...
