ETA of when character creation will be reinstated?

You know why the NA/EU severs are so Clogged up, Gill sellers, there are very little of them on the JP severs (i would say none but I found one) and those severs have not been locked for new Characters. if SE were to BAN these people then there wouldn't be as much server congestion in the first place.

Same. I've been on Masamune (JP Legacy Server), haven't seen one gil seller so far (as far as i'm aware) and JP servers are notoriously less congested and have a great deal of fewer problems than NA.

This sums up how bad it is, after getting into a NA/EU sever after almost an hour trying yesterday. I got spammed by 4 gill sellers in a space of 5 minutes after that I went to join a Friend of mine on the JP sever I now use as my main, only just encountered a gill seller today and he/she only sent me a tell once where the 4 people on NA/EU spammed the chat with shouts every 5 sec, making chating to other genuine players dang near impossible if you didn't blacklist them. Stopping to blacklist every 5 seconds is a pain the backside. So if you are looking for the True reason why your friends cant join you on the sever your currently playing on, its them. The number of them on NA/EU servers is beyond a joke....
