Not a single server on primal is available for new characters right now

I get they're trying to be well prepared, but this might be a bit much. Hopefully everything goes back to normal after the 28th. Finally got a friend to try the game and this might have turned him off again lol.

Looks like at the moment both primal and aether have no worlds available for character creation, but that changes hourly I believe. Only the worlds marked as congested are perma closed until further notice; standard and preferred world status varies throughout the day, so I’m sure all standards on primal and aether will be available a little later on today.

To be honest I don't expect to be able to play on the 28th. My server will most likely have a 4k+ people queue, and I doubt they made any changes to that since they didn't talk about it. Even worse it will probably last for a week minimum.

Guess I'll play some other games while I wait.

Can you not start queue and do something else while you wait?

That's what I meant.

Ahh, I see. I read that as (play other games until there aren't queue's). Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Grab everything you need from your retainers and World Visit one of the less busy servers before maintenance.

Just noticed too. I'm pretty new to FFXIV and my wife just agreed to play with me. Got her all set up and all the servers are closed besides like 3-4 on crystal, feelsbad.

If they are not shown as congested the servers will/can accept new characters. Best time to try this is on a server early morning like 6AM EST. Character creation is also blocked when too many people are logged in and will free up when they go to sleep and leave the server.

I'll have to try it then, thanks!
