Gilgamesh locked?

[SemperDie]

It concerns me that servers were locked in Beta 4 and are still locked during Early Access. (Early Access IS launch day, even if it called by another name.) If the server is locked for people that pre-ordered, then where do you think it'll be when the game opens to everyone that didn't?

It angers me that SE seems entirely unresponsive. They don't seem to see server access as a problem, I guess. . There was a thread on the beta forums of over 400 posts regarding the server closures, with no SE response then either.

Now this isn't my first launch (or beta). We've all come to expect queues, crashes, bugs, and angry forum posts. This'll be my first time not even being able to create a character on the server of my choice (joining the very friends that talked me into purchasing the game) on the first day of launch. I'd actually rather be stuck waiting on a 4 hour queue, at least knowing that eventually I'd get to join my friends on the server.

Also loved that I had to create a character on another server just to post on the forum.

if i don't get early access ill be wanting some money back for that pre-order... i work 12 hour days during the week and specifically pre-ordered to try it out on the weekend. This is frustrating as hell i at least want to make my character and then que up and walk away to do something but sitting here and clicking refresh every 3 minutes is all i can do?! can SE at least respond or make some kind of post regarding this issue instead of saying tough shit wait it out?

Gilgamesh was locked this morning by the time I logged in around 05:45 (not even an hour after launch). I spent all of Beta 4 waiting to join friends on Gilgamesh too, but it was locked then too.

It annoys me to see other servers locking and unlocking as I refresh every 3 minutes.

It's progress, but it's at a snail's pace, it means people are joining the other servers at least.

Square-Enix, could you please communicate about this situation. We are many players in this situation and would like a clear answer about what to do.

at 4am central it was online, and my clan got to make their toons, it took myself and another a lot longer to make our charactors since we didnt play beta. We didnt make the 5am lock... its been locked since then, and that is not fair at all.

SE don't care about this, they don't respond on tweet or on forum. We lose only our time and nervs for this game;/
