Suspension of character creation: how long?

[Preypacer]

There is no need for this system if the devs do not try to overcrowd servers, Oh I need to run to the shop, come back dc'd, Oh I need to get a drink, smoke and wc, dc, constant dcs are a pain.

The problem is that people are crowding Ul'dah A-zone, there is plenty of room if we spread out, so that is thier priority rather than annoy us all with the constant kicks.

I hardly see how being kicked if you're inactive for an hour can be considered "constant". How much time do you need for a drink, smoke and bathroom break?

If you're not playing for at least an hour, I'd say it's absolutely fair that your "bandwidth" be freed up so others can have a smoother experience. Just log back in when you return. It takes a couple minutes.

Hell, some games will kick you back to character select after 20 minutes.
