Ok, I have a thought! It's not one you'll like but it could be an explanation.

They've told us we won't be importing 1.0 characters for this first weekend of the test.

So, perhaps they aren't inviting the influx of 1.0/XIV account holders until next week when they expect to begin the import testing?

I hope I haven't said too much. :O

But yea, it would be nice if they could pop in and say something.
