3 servers already locked down less than 45 minutes after launch? WTF?

[Setze]

I'm still waiting too. And yeah it sucks pretty much.

The worst is that i dont even know this game \o/. Never played, barely read about it. Maybe i wont even like it. For sure, i will not have a good memory of my first day.

i'm feeling with you! i'm hitting the refreshbutton every 3 minutes since 30 minutes after launch
but still no chance to create a characater there.

Same here.

[Setze]

Oh, 11 servers are locked.

Seriously SE ?

I have several friends who are still trying to make a character on the server all of us are on. they have been trying since open beta. I hope they can give us some word on when they will unlock them or what they are going to do about this soon.

My cousin and my girlfriend want to join me in Gilgamesh but they can't. They couldn't since P4.
I wanted to play with them, I prepared my crafter classes just to help them with HQ itens and now they can't create the character on the server. Sad.

It's 6a.m here, on a sunday. Moogle is still damn full. wtf? --

SE give us a free month for that game, i thought it was because every montlhy paid MMORPGs do that. But no.
Now i know why, it's there way to tell me that i wont be able to play for a month. Guess what, i won't wait for that long, there are plenty other good games.

Hey guys, I know it's frustrating, I certainly have my own frustrations, but I don't know what you all expect them to do? If they simply unlock all the servers, they'll get flooded and crash, then no-one can play. Servers are full because the majority of people, like you, want to play with their friends. I have two kinda separate groups of friends both playing, and one of them has a FC on Sargatanas already, so I joined him, then my other friends joined me, then their other friends might join them etc. etc. and before you know it, the world is packed. There are still a hell of a lot of people that haven't created characters yet, so if they all create those characters on the emptier servers, all the servers will balance out and the ones that are currently the fullest can start accepting new players again.

What are you complaining about?
The world servers are designed for a number of concurrent players, as well as a number of total players.

If any world could hold an infinite number of players, there wouldn't be a need to split up into different worlds to begin with.

Servers fill up. That's life.
Some worlds fill up faster than others because they have been designated as the "official world for <community>"... Like BG and Reddit (and I think some more) saying Gilgamesh would be their choice of World as an example.
