Not true, since early access, I have Balmung(legacy) constantly full, have not gotten to play my beta character in it. Created another character in another NA server, no go, its full, try again later.
Created one in Ultima JP, in right away, not a single issue.
From what i gathered the JP servers got full to the point of 9000 error, meaning the entire server crashed forcing the entire player population to log out. NA/EU 1017 "Full servers" are just defaulted messages not pertaining to your server actually being full. Do you really believe the population of legacy player to legacy servers are actually maxing out the server capacity? no...the login restrictions are making you believe the server is full, when your client hits the restriction your not even qued in giving you the a default alert 1017.

The login restriction placed on JP servers are the same as NA however the population of actual players trying to access the server at any given time is also smaller because of how small the player base is compared to NA. You will likely never see the 1017 login restriction in JP servers unless its peak hours on a popular server, then its N/A servers all over again.
