That alone is the function I would like to see added into FFXIV in a worse case scenario, just a code that lets your friend make a character on the server you are on regardless of character creation restrictions.

As to it not being as simple as increasing server capacity? I'm afraid your wrong. When 2.0 first went live there was in fact a server capacity of 5,000 (this only meant how many players could be connected to the server at once), the server capacity was then increased to around 7,800 roughly a month after its release. However, again, you missed my point completely here. What I am referring to is not the capacity for concurrent connections, but essentially to relax on the character creation restrictions. We have server queues for a reason, I don't understand why in addition we also need to make it so players can't even make characters on that server just because there are x amount of people currently logged in.
