Just noticed too. I'm pretty new to FFXIV and my wife just agreed to play with me. Got her all set up and all the servers are closed besides like 3-4 on crystal, feelsbad.

If they are not shown as congested the servers will/can accept new characters. Best time to try this is on a server early morning like 6AM EST. Character creation is also blocked when too many people are logged in and will free up when they go to sleep and leave the server.

I'll have to try it then, thanks!If they are not shown as congested the servers will/can accept new characters. Best time to try this is on a server early morning like 6AM EST.

Good luck... I've had servers refuse to let me create an alt but they'll free up just be persistent.
Xpac appears to be having a big rush of new people. I think there is also a possibility they'll add new servers given what appears to be a red flag for new people and that certainly will affect their bottom line. They've just recently added two new servers in the EU I believe and it's very possible we may see more additions to other data centers as well.




Right after maintenance is also a good time given servers have yet to have people load in although the servers will be packed for early access. If there is any emergency maintenance or other unscheduled one before then I'd jump on as soon as the maintenance is over.
