I managed to recruit a friend today. He used the code and subscribed. Got you some sales S-E, you should thank me.

Except of course he can't play because Sargatanas is closed to new characters. Brilliant.

About a month ago, it took three days before char creation opened and I could make an alt for my daughter to play on. How long will it take now, when you have two active promotions (Recruit and Trial) swelling the population?

Can I suggest that you consider that new players who want to join high population servers (such as Sargatanas) and have a Recruitment Code from a player on that server are given priority over brand new players and trial accounts?

Or perhaps a waiting list that a player can join for a full server, create a character on a low-popn server and then get a free and automatic world transfer as soon as space becomes available.

At the moment, that's one new player at least who's had a crap first night not being able to play the game he's just bought and subscribed to on my recommendation. If he can't get in before tomorrow evening, it'll be really annoying.

And yes, I'm aware the server status is reviewed every few hours; that doesn't really help if you're out at work during the day.
