I have the same issue...

NA/EU server list counts 25ish servers. Only 6 of them are European. At this very moment 8 servers are closed. 6 of them are European. I think it's time SE raises the amount of players able to join the servers, this is becoming a little bit rediculous...

I got a character on Phoenix, but I realy want to join my friends on Moogle. In stead of increasing the capacity of one server, they're forcing people that are waiting to join a server to play an alt on another server, hence, filling up spots on thise servers... It's just brushing the durt under the carpet. "If we can't see the problem, then there is no problem!"

Anyways :P

Still a fun game Allthough I'm going to get a heartattack when it's the official release probably. These problems are going to multiply in manifold :P
