Excalibur still locked !?!?!?!?

[Aquidar]

I definitely don't understand this at this point, if they are going to continue to block character creation they definitely need Server Transfers now and to be free. I've brought 2 or 3 people to the game to play with me, but given all the character restriction limits it's at the point where we are all spread out.

I was giving SE the benefit of the doubt and figured they would get there things in order with the most recent update to equipment. That clearly was a missed mark.

They better have some kind of refund process, because this is becoming inexplicable. "We found the problem, we fixed the problem.. except for some servers.."

Anyone suggesting to give it time and go play another game why would they return to the current abomination? It pains me to say that too because gameplay is truely amazing, but without the systems to support a growing and vibrant playerbase they are relegating themselves to disaster.

Oh, every single JP server is now Character Creation Locked. Who believed last maintenance would actually do anything ?

I'm sure Excalibur is over-packed with characters. With a name like Excalibur, I'm sure it's a server a lot of people try to pick first.

I mean, look at Balmung, horrible name (insignificant sword as well I believe), unless they're pulled to the server because of the RP status, it's going to be people last choice in picking servers

Are you f*cking kidding me ? Excalibur still LOCKED for new characters ? Wtf is that ?

So my friends will NEVER be able to join me ?

You messed it up again, and BIG TIME now.

Unacceptable.

I'm not "white knighting" this (great game btw) but a lot of people had a chance to get on a full server the first night of early access. The catch was you had to get on the servers at lets say 3:30 or 4:00am, create your character and go to bed. I know this because I did this for my girlfriend and a bunch of my friends when I got up for work. I made sure all of our friends got on the same server. Not to mention that you got the email ages ago about server transfer and status on how crowded they were. I originally was on Excalibur on 1.0 and after seeing the e-mail stating how overcrowded it was I transferred myself to Ragnarok and have had zero issues since. You should have paid more attention.

If Server Transfers would've been allowed by then, yeah I would've switched. But re-leveling a lvl 50 ? F* that lol.

So many fanboys/White Knights, this is ridiculous.

They messed their launch big time, what's wrong with pointing the obvious. They f*cked it up with v 1.0 because it was a bad game, and now there are messing up because of a bad server infrastructure.
They KNEW yesterday that we were MILLIONS to play this game. Why the hell did they only enhanced the servers by a small margin ? Excalibur (along with 3 others like Hyperion) have been locked since Early Access...

So yeah, I said it last night; I am not surprised at all. It was expected. Yeah, I had that one little sparkle of hope that got destroyed the moment my friend tried to create his character.

Simple have your friends start on another server and once they all get in you make a character on there or wait until server transfers.

My friends have been trying to make a character on excalibur since release, at this point i'm willing to just transfer to one of the new servers if either is legacy -_-;;
