It's funny that there are rewards for friend recruiting right now, but the server isn't allowing character creation. I would have to leave all of my friends on the server I'm on and switch to one that doesn't have as many people in order to play with them. I'm on Balmung, and it has been a full server since 2.0 launch. I want to play with my brother, but he can't transfer to me because of the restrictions. It's very frustrating.
