Character Creation Suspended

[Zalran]

Well, This is understandable, though it has caused me some grief.
2 days after the suspension took place, my friend decided too play FFXIV.
And now he can't join the server i'm playing.

Is there no way around this?

[Rythen]

Yeah I'm in the same boat here. I finally convinced two of my friends to go out and buy the game and then this happened.

Now they have to wait around for SE to get their act together and fix things. What's worse is that they already paid for a subscription and SE told them that they cannot refund it.. Even though they are effectively unable to play (because they want to be on the same server as all our friends).

[Zalran]

Yeah, i wish they had a system like in FFXI where a player could get a pass with a code so friends could join their server.

Same issue, 2 of us played through the crap this game started out as, quit when they started charging as it wasn't worth paying for yet, and now that we are ready to give it another honest go, and have about 6 of our friends ready to try with us, those 6 can't get on the server we were moved to because creation is closed >.> and there is no way in hell the 2 of us are starting over.

Although, they haven't subbed yet, I was the first one to sub back to get the logistics figured out as to what server I was moved to etc, so I've told them not to bother till we have a solution, if one comes up.
