Take a look at this nonsense

[Balzaque]

it would be great if there was any way to know witch servers are empty/full... there is no indication in the interface and unless you go trying server by server you may as well just be creating a character in a full server or a soon to be full server >.<

unless ofc you go play on the jp servers, then you will have no problem at all. they just cant get it right on the NA/EU servers apparently.

This one has played MMOs since EverQuest, not a one has had a solid error-free launch, be patient and the issue will resolve. With 3 million people trying to play a MMO SE billeted a tenth of that for, it is going to cause some major issues. Be patient, be courteous and all will be well in Eorzea.

sorry but even the most bumpy launch i have seem so far did not choose to lock a good portion of its player base out of the game and with the only, the easiest, solution to just close the doors and serve the players their poor servers can handle. any smaller company would probably be handling this better at this point. anyone in this genre would know that you need to have back up plans for your server capacity, they had the data about sales, they have made 2 mmos prior to this, they are a BIG company with a ton more resources then most of their competitors and yet they doesnt seem to know how to prepare for a mmo launch.
