Servers Locked Again..!!

[Kenka]

Likewise, I'm in the unfortunate position of already being on one server that's character locked, joining a couple of friends that I met during beta. And with more friends unable to create characters on Leviathan, I will probably have to abandon my character and remake. Here's to hoping that Adamantoise doesn't get the character creation lock as well. -_-

This is exactly what happened to me. Had to create a new character in Phoenix leaving Moogle behind so me and my friend could play together. It was not a big loss (5 days playtime, I plan to be more or less at the same point soon enough), however I'm concerned about the EU servers population, since yesterday all but two (Cerberus and Phoenix) were locked. With the influx of new players on launch day.. What will happen if the EU servers fill up? Will people be "encouraged" (read, forced) to create characters on NA or JP servers?

There was a post somewhere that SE mentions not everyone would be able to play EA even if they pre-ordered the game. They were limiting the number of codes going out. This means they let too many people in already and you guys are complaining because they decided to ignore their own statement saying that EA would be limited.

"In case we do release the limitation, there is a high chance that the corresponding World will crash or cause issues, and we are thinking that it will be difficult for us to release it for a while." -Yoshida

...and how exactly does a world crash if there is a queue system preventing too many people from logging into a world at any given time?

Because they thought investing heavily into Japanese servers to make their experience perfect while neglecting EU/NA was a smart move.
Their queue system seems to doesn't handle more than 250 players at once without breaking.

I still call bullshit that we don't get german, english, french servers. Every Europe Server seems to be pretty packed, so many of them are locked for creation. Well, at least Japan gets a good start with 3029 Server and 34024093 Legacy Server for a few thousand people. I think the amount of japanese Server and the lack of german/english/french/polish/whatever server are a slap in the face, we are more than enough player to fill a few of those (sooo suprising >_>).

PS: That was slightly off topic but i needed to get my rant off, peace.

i have a better solution .. we all play or noone plays.
I am sick of this already, theres not even a queue anymore.
Let us in G%@%@ ,we paid for EA.
even 1.0 didnt had so much launchproblems , this is realy rediculous

Is it just me or are ALL of the EU servers currently locked? Because that's just plain stupid...

Yes, all are full and you can't create characters on any of the EU servers.

If you're from the EU and aren't already playing, then you're only option is an NA or JP server

HOW HARD IS IT TO OPEN A FUCKING NEW SERVER AND ALLOW TRANSFERS TO IT?

Wow really? Right in the middle of Sastasha I get dc'ed with the 90k error and now the server (Odin) is locked? Are you kidding me?
