Simplest option, really, is to just try and look at times where people aren't often on, like early morning US time.
Fortunately this recent attempt is a friend in Europe, so trying at 3am EST was no big deal for him. ... Except in the span of 20 minutes when he first looked and the time it took to make his character, it closed again. It's not like he even missed the end of a window, it literally opened and closed in the span of 20-30 minutes. It's ridiculous. :\
