Concerns about new character creation restrictions

Lol seems a lot of us are having this issue of playing with friends coming over on 2.0

I don't know why they make it so difficult to get onto certain servers. They had a horrible system when FF11 was released. My friend and I were in the same room playing with both our computers at launch but we spent hours creating characters...being put into some random server (but not both of us on the same server) so delete..start over again. Not to mention we knew some other RL friends who had played the beta and their guild was playing on the ragnarok server. So we tried forever remaking our characters hoping to pop into ragnarok and we never did get it.

Ugg, that was the worst system ever. I'm glad you can pick your server with this game, but the frequent locks were bad. Also I wanted to make my second character but other than the first day that I picked ultros i was never able to make another character on ultros for the rest of the open beta. I hope EA runs smoother. Why does square seem to want to make it so difficult for us to play with friends on the same servers?

One of the main concern is a valid one: server congestions. But I think they should be a little flexible on character transfer for now for friends to be with one another. I don't mind moving out of masamune. I just don't want to lose my old character lol
