Yea, I dunno why people seem to suddenly be forgetting about the standard restriction on character creation. Even before Balmung became a congested server, it was often only possible to create characters in the few minutes after a maintenance had ended.
I'm not trying to lay blame exclusively at the feet of Balmung, I just wanted to clarify why the feathers are getting ruffled with this announcement. Sure, Gilgamesh and Balmung crashed Aether, multiple times. Lets hope their time in isolation has been enough to reduce their populations to non-issue causing proportions.

You mean like.. the few minutes after the patch goes live and where everyone usually logs in to buy their house? *eek* There was no delay when they went live for FCs. I highly doubt they'll do the delay for the personal, lets hope though.
