ETA of when character creation will be reinstated?

[Avraym]

I understand that there is a massive problem with server congestion and i'm aware that priority is given to sorting out the current queuing and logging in problem.

I'm not complaining, but I have stacks of mates who are incredibly excited to play, preordered and purchased their game, but dread the thought of having to play alone or recreate a character from scratch or pay for a character transfer, so they are waiting before playing.

I've suggested to them just to start their character and I will pay for the transfer, but they don't want to play alone.

It feels a little severe that just because they didn't sneak in the first few hours to quickly create a character, they are being segregated.

My question is, will we most likely have to wait another couple of weeks for world transfers to be up so we can all just move to a non congested server? Or will the character ban be lifted before then. Some clarity would be awesome, the updates have been fairly ambiguous.

Thanks in advance.
