Sorry, but the mistake was on their part after all. As much as I can be /happy that old adventurers returned to experience these final 3 days of Eorzea, the devs should have known that with the current server structure it would have caused a problem.
And consequently bring a lot of negativity to those who actually stayed in Eorzea until the end, as I could read in some comments here, like “A fitting end for 1.0” etc.

Speaking for me, it wouldn't be a fitting end, since I adored my stay in Eorzea 1.0 until the very end (that is, the moment I got kicked out of the server).

The only solution I could have thought of was to restrict login for the final event only to those adventurers with an active account on November 1st. That is, priority to those who always supported Eorzea.

Oh well...


P.S.: Still trying to reach the Character Screen, but no luck.
