Creating multiple characters on the same server.

[-Genesis-]

which stunk for folks like me who want to try all 8 classes before figuring out which one to adopt and bolt on

Well seeing as you can play any and all classes on any given character (after the Lv10 class quest you can go unlock other classes to play as) there really isn't a need to make more than one character to try things out on.

I did a search of the forums and could not find out if you can create multiple characters on the same server. I have a character to play by myself but want to create another to play with my wife. On the character select screen it says 1/8 but when I tried to make another one it said I can not create another character on the server with this account. Will I be able to create one when the game goes live on the 27th?

Yeah you can create as many characters on the same server as your account type allows.
