Most of the high population servers turned off and on new character creation multiple times each day. If you were very determined to get into one of those servers you were usually able to.
True, but I could bring up the argument that I've paid for this game to have an enjoyable experience while playing with my friends. Waiting 5 hours to get on a server was not enjoyable and I know plenty of people waited much longer than I did. I would cancel my pre-order/demand a refund if it wasn't possible for me to play with my friends. I did the 5 hours because it was beta, but I would not do that during Early Access or Full Release while I'm playing on time I've paid for.
