When will the character restriction be lifted on balmung?

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.
