Creating multiple characters on the same server.

[Neutron]

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?

What you are seeing is that a lot of the NA/EU servers have been locked against folks creating new characters on that particular server, which stunk for folks like me who want to try all 8 classes before figuring out which one to adopt and bolt on (never played FFXIV) that and I roll characters based on my mood.
