Trouble joining friends :-(

If they're really your friends, they would re-roll in Masamune with you.

They said they will just transfer to masamune once transfer is available etc. But I feel kind of bad cuz they might get charged and secondly SE is not very transparent that we don't know enough to be sure whether Masamune will even be available to receive ppl from other servers once transfer is available. So it's hard to really plan ahead. We don't want to hope, play for about a month then realize we won't be able to get together anyways since the servers are also blocked from transfers etc.

Ok from what I think to be happening is the server isnt actually at max capacity, rather queue error that is happening is preventing ppl from creating. This is totally unconfirmed but I tried making a new character on excalibur at 5am and it allowed me to do so. so perhaps try getting your firends to create their characters when there arent a lot of ppl on. It looked as though the traffic was very very low around 4/5 am est. after the maintenance. Try it out, really hoping it works. gl everyone. Other than this issue the game has been a blast so far.
