So I actually recruited a real person to get the new mount. My problem is I'm on a server that almost always seems to have character creation restrictions. My friend wants to play with me on my server. They bought the game 2 days ago and has been waiting around for my server to open up. (Even checking at each interval they refresh the character creation restriction status page.)

This seems a bit backwards. Why recruit someone to play the game when they can't play with you...? Usually games let people bypass character creation restrictions in recruit a friend situations... Am I missing something here or is my friend SOL until the restriction is lifted...?

It's been a few weeks since I returned to this game from about a 9 month break so I was a bit surprised to see we're still dealing with character creation restriction since it's almost been a year since the game launched. O.o
