If they don't wish to take that for an answer. Tell them the answer they want to hear:

Square Enix thinks its hilarious to watch people try to create a character there and get an error. They have a running tally in their offices about all the failed attempts. Friends being apart from each other is just icing on the cake. They're letting it go for a while so when someone does play on another server and gets established.. they can offer the service to transfer, but at an inflated price. They get their giggles and greed on at the same time.

Is that better? Is that what everyone (or one, I don't really care) wants to believe?
