Alright, so the situation I am running into is the same for many many players here in the US/EU realms. We have found ourselves in a position of not being able to play with friends and family, as those individuals are unable to create characters on the NA servers.

The problem is that the issue has been rather protracted, and some of us that managed to get on have advanced into the game a fairly significant distance. I honestly didn't expect the issue to last nearly a week, and played fairly normally, now well into Paladin.

At this point I think it would be fair to offer free server transfers for players, so that we may find new homes that will support our characters and those of our friends and family. My younger brother and my father both haven't been able to play, as they want to play on the same server as myself. Unfortunately they can't even create a characters, and are now at a week since early access started.

While the game is enjoyable, there are missed opportunities by having a forced segregation of players. I think with a franchise such as Final Fantasy, with an extremely long and deep following that spans generations, they need to consider that close friends and family won't play if they can't play together.

I am literally open to transferring to any server that will allow me to drag some friends and family along.
