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.

"to ensure a pleasant play experience for all players." This makes me unhappy since I don't even get to play. I'm not upset that their are errors and problems it's a launch I get that. I am annoyed however that I paid for the same EA only to not be able to play while other can. Also the many AFK people make me angry also. But with above info from SE its almost like they really could care less if some people make it in or not. I don't like how little SE is saying about this HUGE problem. I'm hoping things get better ASAP.
