They need to fix this properly.
It's completely serious.
Also the worlds can't be that congested if they're allowing you to make new characters on those worlds.
It's most likely due to the way that they do it:

They have a limit on the number of homeworld players logged in. If reached, new characters can't be made.
They have a separate limit on the number of world visitors.
They have a separate limit on the number of DC travelers.

Then the limits on world visitors and DC traveler are tightened significantly if the world has "Congested" status but it's still possible to visit until it reaches the limit.

If you can actually make a new character there successfully, what that suggests is that the server is partially as full as it is due to DC travelers rather than homeworld players.

Perhaps they could make room for more DC travelers when homeworld player counts are low, but they most likely don't want to rob homeworld players of the ability to even login on their homeworld, so I don't think there is an easy answer with it other than your friends visiting a less congested DC.
