Suspension of character creation: how long?

[Kawfee]

Greetings everyone!

As Yoshi-P mentioned a few weeks ago , Ul’dah is split into two zones and the problems related to congestion was stemming from zone A.

In order to give everyone a better idea of exactly how these zones are separated, we prepared an image to offer a good visual representation.

• Zone A = Red color
• Zone B = Blue color

As you can see, zone A is the often congested aetheryte and market entrance area. Please take and if possible, consider positioning your characters throughout zone B. Please note that shouts made in zone A will not be heard in zone B and vice-versa. We apologize for this inconvenience, but appreciate your help in working toward alleviating Ul’dah’s server issues.

I appreciate the detailed update with the map. Is there a timeframe for which they will determine if this has been corrected? It sounds like as of yet, it has not.
Between now and 2.0, will anything like World Passes be implemented? It sucks that my friend is now stuck playing alone on another server (rather pointlessly since you can't transfer your character either) while waiting for this to be resolved.
