[pctech86]

Not to mention they said it will be weeks before server transfers will be ready

Imagine if it weren't just two friends wanting to play together, but a lot of people who are members of another community on the internet, and quite a few of them are RL friends, and some of those players are already established on another server with friends and relations of their own there. Moving 20 or more people to accommodate one or two people isn't feasible.

Did you not understand the analogy. Doesn't matter what you think is convenient, it can't happen.

It sucks to say it but your friends will just have to wait. You are playing a game where the servers are completely full and not adding new people so that YOUR gaming experience is not ruined along with others..

SO if SE opens the flood gates and your game crashes then guess where you and your friends will be....

"Up **** creek without a paddle."

You really need to be patient.

Yeah this says nothing about what the solution and an ETA is for being able to create new characters..

So....waiting two weeks is NOT patient then? I would think waiting a few hours possibly a few days after launch would be considered patient. This is WAYYYYYY beyond being simply patient though my friend. You have a fully released and sold product that is unusable for the very purpose of which it was created by many thousands of people. They have been waiting. We have been waiting. Some of them have stopped waiting and you know what? Nobody can blame them. Nobody wants to spend their precious time hitting a damn refresh button every three minutes for weeks.

It can happen. These locks were placed by SE, not some physical technological brick wall that magically is unable to let people create characters. This is a restriction imposed BY SE.

You're really not good at reading are you?

Here, let me break it down for you:

With the maintenance completed on September 4, we have increased the number of concurrent connections allowed across all Worlds by roughly 60,000 users. For the time being, however, we believe it necessary to maintain login and character creation restrictions, even though they have inconvenienced many of our players.

(snip)

Specific details will be announced as soon as they are available.

(snip)

Even with the increased capacity of all Worlds, the number of simultaneous logins is still reaching the limit. Because increasing server capacity further would result in significant stress to individual zones, frequent restrictions on character creation have been necessary for the most heavily populated Worlds.

(snip)

The above improvements are scheduled to be implemented next week. We will make an announcement at the beginning of next week with further details

Do you need me to make it EVEN SIMPLER for you?

OK.

The solution is that they still need more hardware.
The ETA on this is (hopefully) sometime next week.

Seriously, was it that hard?

You do realize that this is basically a copy and paste repeat of the "announcement" from last week about tuesday's maintenance right? You realize that we have ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE - this week. This is almost word for word what was said before. And guess what, at the beginning of next week when they do another 10 hour maintenance there will STILL be problems and people will STILL be unable to create characters. This will repeat the cycle for the third week in a row. Not to mention you can play. I can play. We already have our toons created. Your position would be COMPLETELY REVERSED if YOU were the one unable to create a god damn toon for two weeks in a row. These people are unable to get on here and bitch about ti because they cannot create their characters. Quit fanboying it up broski - I love the game just as much as everyone else which is why it makes it so frustrating to see my friends dropping like flies since they can't get in weeks down the road. It isn't an unreasonable request after all. The only thing unreasonable in this thread have been the likes of you saying we should just deal with it. Yeah why dont YOU try dealing with it?

The locks are there for a purpose. So that the addition of your friends to the game does not ruin the game play experience for the rest of the people actually being able to play, including yourself. And yes be patient because at it stands you haven't been enough if you are making threads like this.
