When will the character restriction be lifted on balmung?

[EdeaNitsah]

Balmung has been on character lock for several days now. I'm trying to bring in a couple of new people into the game, and one has subscribed already and one is on trial now.
They have been trying for 5 days now, with their time and money just ticking away. So before they even have a chance to play the game they are already feeling very negative about it and thinking of quitting before even beginning.

Unfortunately SE doesn't care that they haven't even been able to play yet and just says to try again later.

I hope something is changed about this or that new players will actually be able to start playing soon.

I'm in the same boat. I've just got one friend of mine to buy the game because it's on sale, and 2 others are also on the fence about it. I can't think of a single game that straight up locks players out like this! Most games allow you to create your character, but then place you in a queue before actually playing it. It's absolutely ridiculous to waste everyone's time like this.

At the very least, if you HAD to absolutely have this system in place, they could offer priority to new accounts. The system they have now is completely asinine, and it's disgusting that it's still in play.
