"In order to prevent server outages due to login and world congestion, we are currently closely monitoring server loads and making adjustments to both character creation and login limits as needed.

As we approach the peak North American play hours, the North American and European servers listed below in will have their login restrictions adjusted with particular scrutiny in order to ensure a pleasant play experience for all players.

As we continue to monitor the situation, we will be allowing players to log in sequentially. This will unfortunately have the effect of causing wait times for logins to these worlds, but this is a necessary step for the sake of server stability, and we ask for your understanding and patience during this time.

Additionally, character creation restrictions are currently in place for the following worlds:

Behemoth
Sargatanas
Diabolos
Gilgamesh
Leviathan
Balmung
Excalibur
Hyperion
Tonberry
Mandragora
Bahamut
Chocobo

In the event of any changes in the situation, follow-up news posts will be posted here as well.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and once again thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. "

holy shit.. I didn't actually think you would go live like this.. you are seriously going to go live.. and then tell your playerbase they cant play?

and what really pisses me off is that list is all legacy servers... so.. this game is a sorry MOSTLY to us.. and this is how to say sorry? by locking the only people who stuck it out for the majority of time no matter how shitty the game was before?

here is an idea.. why not open up free transfers to help with congestion?? that would help fix this problem would it not?? DUH. I see why you don't though.. you would just fk that up too.

such a shame such a great game is left in the hands of this group...
