Please bring back auto afk log outs!

Actually, I think it's completely automated. Balmung opens up at around 6am EST. Character creation is just locked during those heavy log on volume times. It's SE's way of filtering people into lower population servers, which is fine. Those who are dedicated to playing with their friends will come here and ask, and we will tell them when to try to create their character (like yesterday someone wanted to get into Balmung, which is also one of the most densely populated legacy servers).

Actually I believe I saw excalibur available like 4 hours ago. I see balmung less open more than any other servers. I'm sure if you had scrolled down by like a little more, balmung should have been locked too XD since if balmung isn't locked the other servers shouldn't be either from i have seen.

Thanks you guys! I guess we'll just keep on hunting for those certain times I'm sorry for not being rational it's just upsetting is all :<

If my memory serves, SE updates the Character Creation Restrictions for servers every 6 hours (or so). So, sometimes, that update isn't entirely up-to-date. I've made characters on world servers that the Lodestone states are not accepting character, but the game client says otherwise.

All we can really suggest is to keep trying in the hopes that you will get lucky.

SE will from now on autolog out op, while leaving everyone else alone.

/working as intended

I can see where the OP is coming from. I understand that people AFK while Queing for Dungeons but there are those who just leave toons logged in and do nothing....this prevents ppl from rolling new toons as the New Character Creation Restriction gets enacted due to "Overpopulation" an auto log would be nice imo to kick majorly inactive toons on the server. they could program it to read if they are Qued or Autosynth/Desynth, if not just log em out after a set amount of time. Like say someone ques for a Primal and leaves the keyboard cause Ques are ridiculous imo...but wont be logged till the Que pops and they miss it...kinda a consequence for not paying attention ya know?

Hint: No it doesn't.

Population doesn't work the way you think it does.

Excalibur gets open for a few characters late at night/early morning as far as i can tell, had to wait nearly all day till around 12am pst to make my first 2.0 alt. As other have said, the current amount of people logged in doesn't affect ones ability to create a new character. It simply prevents more then the server can hold from logging into the game.

I just find it funny that these servers are so jam packed. Back around launch there were so many complaints that the servers were so full and why can't we transfer to other servers. SE opens up transfers...and barely anyone moves. The packed servers stay packed and the complaints just continue about not being able to make new chars and ironically enough not being able to transfer TO these servers. meanwhile newer servers added to combat the overpopulation remain half empty because APPARENTLY unless the server has 10000 people it's "dead" and you'll never see PFs or get good DF queues (Hilarious when the "dead" server and the full one are in the same Cluster meaning they have the same DF pool).

Please NO. :c

It sucked before and it'll suck even more now because there is a lot of things you have to sit and wait for compared to what there use to be. Plus the servers aren't nearly as bad as they were when they enforced auto logouts. Needless to say, they were full to the brim and very, very unstable. If they started to force auto logouts again I'd start to wonder if something was wrong with the servers.
