I think the server my cousin and his wife play on is locked for new characters or I would *seriously* consider deleting all my old characters and hop on there... I mean, why should we have to put up with this lazy excuse for a launch when the JP community gets the sort of service and quality we should have been getting since... ff11 first launched. If this was any other sort of business, they would be losing money by the boatload and their reputation would be flushed down the toilet; but for some reason, it's perfectly fine for gaming companies to hamfist stuff like this. Mistakes happen, incompetence is unavoidable sometimes, and people make stupid decisions, but there should be more accountability or consequence than "i'm sorry.", and that's the end of it... I suppose loosing subscribers and financially tanking because of their poor decisions is good enough though (not that I am wishing for that).
