I've made a few posts regarding people including myself who are upset that their friends are unable to create a character on their legacy server. This is not official by any means but I do not think the servers are at max capacity. I think the queue error and high traffic are preventing new character creations on these servers. Try to get your friends to make a character during low traffic hours. I tried creating a new character on Excalibur(legacy) around 4:30/5:00 am est which seemed to be locked before and it worked. Really hoping this works for my friends and yours - gl everyone. Other than that the game has been great so far and my posts were in no way hostile towards the team at SE who put much work into 2.0
