Character Creation Limitation (Aug. 24)
Hello, this is FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Producer and Director, Yoshida.

The maximum expected population limit is nearing for each World, and unless the current World simultaneous connection amount decreases, we are unable to open release the limitation.

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. We please ask you to consider playing in a World that has a low limitation.

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause and ask to continue with your cooperation.

lmao. this statement is now finally true. all the euro servers are now full and don't accept any new character creation. Also NA servers are almost full on all as well. Go make tons of chars on the japanese servers. I've made 8 on almost all of them

I know it's been said before, but not only is it extremely disturbing that they haven't prepared properly for the early access - especially after seeing these issues in a way too short beta test phase - but how are they gonna handle the actual release?
If all servers are almost at max capacity, how are they planning to squeeze in the rest?

Now the Japanese are complaining about EU/NA players invading their servers - to which they will react promptly of course - and in the meantime, a lot of characters start to pool up at instance points (5, 10, 15 class quest, main story aso.) because they cannot proceed. Once the instances work ... they will be swamped with people, happy about being finally able to continue ... and, to SE's surprise, the issues will resurface, everything will start all over again and we will be blessed with another 3-4 emergency maintenances a day.

So, unless they decide to add new servers - this is going to continue to be a disaster until it'll eventually topple into the abyss.
And if they do add servers, they should offer transfers from the current EU/NA servers to the new ones. I'd be willing to go - considering that I don't have a linkshell or anything on my current server that really holds me there.
But all this would still leave one additional problem: They request for us to play on a low population server, however this only works if there is somewhere a population indicator ... which has escaped me so far.

But of course, this is all wishful thinking and in the end it'll depend on SE and whether they consider us a valuable enough income source or not - nothing else.

Siren, oh Siren ... why did you plummet from the heavens like a dying, disease ridden pigeon ... ?
