Please Lock Character Creation On Major Servers

[Lecru]

As the title says. Please lock the creation on large pop servers. Currently I see that Excalibur is allowing creation along with Behemoth and such. Which are, as i'm told and believe, larger pop servers since I already have had a queue time when logging in since having to transfer from Malboro when you put that on Crystal. But with the influx of players because of certain streamers, and more streamers starting to play (because it's the hip cool thing to do for views atm). Please lock these servers. Those of us who HAVE been playing and not just picking it up following whatever streamer these people watch shouldn't have to be punished in a queue because it's now a fad to play. I love that the game is getting more of a playerbase. But i'm gonna be honest. It's gonna drive me away if I can't even get on my server TO play because of this.

On average, how long is your wait?

.. So you're fine with having more people, just not so that it affects you in any negative way at all?

What the game needs is incentives to create characters on less populated servers, education about the server-visit system and more details about cross data center play so people aren't as dead set on being on any particular server or data center.

Are you aware you can straight login to a server visit so that you can do basic play and instances untill your server frees up?

On average, how long is your wait?

My wait has been about max 5 minutes. However, those that NORMALLY play on Cactuar before a big streamer started playing on there most likely had no wait time at all. Now. I hear the log in is around 2k wait. On top of that, people that were playing on that server legit at the time were "Randomly" kicked off the server, only to be met with the queue of 2k upon trying to log back in.

Theyre not going to lock character creation on servers that don’t absolutely need it, regardless of your queue to log in.

As it is right now, the majority of the NA servers are locked most of the time. If they just arbitrarily locked other servers too as a “well just in case.”, that means that ALL NA SERVERS will be locked most of the time - not just the majority.

That is bad. That is not good.

There's absolutely no reason to allow REGULARLY HIGH POP SERVERS to stay open while this influx happens. It's just going to clog up the works more. Keys are already sold out as is.

You transferred to a high pop world and are now upset that it's high pop.

Seem like a pretty negative insight and selfish request in all honesty. Especially given that the claim reads that they, the one should feel they have more value over any others due to, well, a very obscure and obtuse reasons; Streamers and "I've been playing and posting longer." When in reality no one is absolutely positive that this is the hip cool reason thing for the influx. My guess would be it has some impact but not, nor, the main reason to the full scale of why there is the surge of new players.

As well, like myself many used to play a while ago (Me; from 2015-2017) and are just now coming back, just so happened to be during a weird situation (this is called a coincidence). The correlation and causation of a handful or interweb personalities coming to the game doesn't have any impact nor are the reasons why myself, nor many others happen to be returning. Let alone the sole reason for newer players. I just happen to have more free time play due to medical situations; friends wanted me to join their server and paid for a few boosts once I created a new character there and deleting my original one cause I had no use for it. Thus, allowing me to puts around and hang with them while they do arbitrary tasks.

So does this fall with in the "hip cool thing" reason? I'm going to say... Probably.
