Yeah that is incredibly annoying

The only thing you can do is keep an eye on the https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/ page and wake up really early in the middle of the night to create your character. It's a real PITA but it's the only solution and you only have to do it once

Well the only solution other than waiting for a few weeks

Imagine buying a game to relieve yourself from stress, only for the game devs and company to screw up so bad that you have to set up sleeping shifts and run calculations on the optimal time window in which you will be able to play the gaame.

There really should be some forcing mechanism to allow a subscribed new account to make at least one character. Understand the concern for free trial bots, but if the account is paid for then you HAVE to let them create one character.

Oh no! Almost like it is like every MMO launch/expansion launch in history! Who would ever have guessed the servers would be full on the first weekend the game is out?!

Imagine complaining about this not knowing that most MMO launches are like this.

Atleast with square they will eventually fix the issue. Most MMO publishers don't even care if their game is broken.

It's not the point... even if he log of he can't CREATE ANY CHARACTER on any SERVER

Complaining about server issues is one thing but this issue they should be fixing immediately selling new subscriptions and then not being able to create a character at all is pretty unacceptable, I am sure they have a way they could open servers manually.

The weekend of early access isn't really the time for complete newbies to be joining the game, servers are packed and character creation is limited.

Imagine

Imagine having those devs explaining in detail why they couldn't do more about this during a global pandemic, superconductor shortages and other supply chain issues and then still acting like the world is just fine and normal and none of those things are happening and then throwing a tantrum over it.
