"Periods of high congestion" can mean many things.

True, but you won't have congestion without players logged in. In order for things to be congested you must by it's very nature have people logged into the server. Meaning that while it may not be the only criteria it is part of the criteria. People saying server pop doesn't affect the lockout are incorrect. The simple fact that people have far better success making new characters very early in the morning is a testament to the fact it must be part of the criteria. Otherwise it wouldn't work with such consistency.

They can both join another server.

If I've been playing for a year and I want them to join me then the answer you give is wholly inadequate. Enjoy telling your friends they can't play with you when the time comes. Just heartless.

I've been playing for about the same amount of time. Some of friends have joined my server. They choose to patiently wait for it to open. It didn't hurt them. Also I'm not sure how asking a friend to play on another server on a video game is heartless. LOL

Perhaps that was a bit hyperbolic so you're right. Seriously though I tried to get a friend of mine on Balmung for over a week. Near the end I was pleading with him to keep trying because he was getting frustrated. He had zero interest in playing on other servers since he specifically wanted to play with me. Thankfully he got in, ended up buying the game, and already paid for one month. Square almost lost that sale though. Don't underestimate people's desire to play with their friends.
