You cant both have a fully congested server (which is what they imply) and then have a workaround to just make a character on it and then you get instantly on the server, it makes no sense.
Gotta cling to that artificial popularity and hype by falsely claiming the servers are congested, because it looks better to the stakeholders. SE can tell their investors: "just look, the game is crowded and alive with activity!" when in reality that's not quite the case. That's not to say the game is dying or anything, but servers definitely aren't running anywhere near capacity.
