I bought this game to play with my friends, and they're already established, so I'm not going to go the selfish route and demand that they severe friendships and communities to jump to a new server with me. However, since my purchase of the game, I've been unable to play with my friends because a character creation restriction has been put in place. While I was able to make a character on a server where none of my RL friends are, I have no incentive to actually play on there because I wouldn't be sticking with the character, and I don't want to get burned out doing the same new player content twice in a row.

I've been checking back every hour (at least) to refresh the server selection, and I've been checking at 2 am, 3 am, 4 am, 5 am, 6 am, etc. More servers were available at those times, but not the one that I needed. As the day progresses, less and less servers become available, and I have no hope that something that wasn't available at 3 am is going to become available in prime time in the evening. So, realistically, I can't expect to create a character today, and if 3 am this morning the server was unavailable, it might be again tomorrow.
