I have looked at the Restriction list that was posted like a hour ago and it said Goblin is up and running for character creation.

Today is my dads birthday and he's been playing since like the day it came out til like 2-3 years ago when he quit. I'm trying to get him to play FFXIV because he wants to get back into the action with more people to play with such as myself, but the server "Goblin" is restricted for character creation for some reason. It says its up on the website, I'm wondering when will the server be up again and what is the reason for it being down?
