Remove the character creation locks!

[Chatoyant]

Agreed. Locking character creation really only serves to prevent new players from playing with their friends for the time being - does Square-Enix really think I'm going to roll on a different server rather than play with my friend? All they're doing is inconveniencing their paying customers by forcing them to wake up early in the morning to create a character. It's a terrible policy.

Why not just have queues? If servers are full, you stand in a virtual line until there's an open spot... then you're free to log in on an existing character or create a new character. To most people, waiting in a queue is a small price to pay for the ability to play with their friends.

Probably going to be queued full of RMT.
