As I post this there sre NO EU servers alllowing character creation

[Kraggy]

I 'get' that servers are heavily loaded and SE have failed to deploy hardware and software capable of surviving the load, but if you already have characters on one you should be allowed to create another on the same account .. after all you can't play them both at once so server load isn't affected in the slightest!

Stupid restriction as I pointed out, if I can log in on an existing character I should be able to create a new one. I 'get' SE are trying to limit the load so 'first time' players are going to increase the load but players with existing characters are NOT adding to the load by creating a new one instead of logging in an existing one.

[edit]

So, you deleted your post that said "Temporary restriction" (due to it being in the 'wrong thread') meaning my reply has no context.

/thanks

It gets better, right NOW there is ONE NA (Lamia) and ONE EU (Phoenix) server allowing character creation.

Absolutely cretinous SE.

... and people thought the world pass business in FFXI was bad. At least then you could keep re-rolling your character until it randomly assigned you the world you wanted. In FFXIV if you want to play with your friends and didn't make your characters at the same time then you're pretty much screwed for awhile. People who couldn't play until tomorrow are going to be disappointed to find they're barred from almost all the servers.

thats supposing they can even get through the horrifically prohibitive queue and or SE opens the floodgates and then they get to see what happens when duty finder dies.

I have to assume that Early Access isn't they majority.

Unless SE only has 25% of their hardware turned on, things are going to get messy.

Stand in the line and wait a few weeks like everybody else.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! hear us.

1/5 of my guild is unable to play with us on Gilgamesh. We chose Gilgamesh because we didn't want to play on a server that would shrivel up and die 3-6 months after launch. Now 3 of the friends/family from our guilds can't create characters to play with us. We're a very small guild of 20-25 players so this greatly affects us.

Can you please give us a time table on when new characters will be allowed? It's not looking very hopeful right now... seeing as how you get "Server Full" errors just trying to log into a QUEUE! Our guild might need to make a drastic decision like completely starting over on a new server so we can all play together. Right now we're asking them to be patient but a lot are seeking refunds or really really mad.

Can you give us details ASAP so we can start planning? We're trying to create a lasting community, however small, in your game. Please help.
