Creating a new character on a restricted server?

[losak]

I just bought the game and am trying to join the Excalibur server to play with my fiance (this is his log-in). At the character creation portion when I try and select Excalibur it is grayed out because it is restricted.

I have been refreshing every 3 minutes and have noticed that a non-Legacy server has come available again (Moogle, was not available but is now) but no changes from Excalibur. Is this something that is not likely to open up again for days? Should I keep checking every 3 minutes while I do other things on my computer or is this a waste of my time?

My fiance joined Excalibur to play with all of his work friends who are all on that server. We saw that you can pay to switch servers but he doesn't want to, because we all want to play together. We are both very disappointed because we have spent a lot of time today downloading the game, creating accounts, etc and after all that we can't play together
