New Character Creation

[WildSnipe]

WHEN?

Will there be free ones for anyone caught in X situation before X date?

When will PAID transfers begin?

[Himea]

Looks like all the realms are available now. If not at this specific time, will be during less congested hours. Now for those transfers...

[Vinge]

Well Moogle (EU) is already locked to new character creation again. I think it was open for about 3 hours after the patch. So expect to see the NA ones lock as well as people get online.

And with still no solid word on character transfers, seems we're still no further forward on this whole issue.

bah my mate hasn't been able to even play the game since he bought it 2 weeks ago , there is no point him making a char on another server he needs to join with me and the rest of our guild on moogle.....

give us some INFORMATION its taking the complete piss now

I was able to get on and create at around 0230PDT, RIGHT as the servers came back on. Played for 2ish hours and then Emergency Maintenance hit. Seems the best time is right after the servers come up. Every single server was accepting when I looked. But with the AFK auto logout, maybe we will see less lockouts.

I'm happy to report that I was finally able to make a second toon on Ultros. Just looking it is still open too. Must have been a large number of afk sitters to clog it up that bad.

What the hell is this guys?! They open character creation for my server, Behemoth, and I drive all the way home from work just to make a character. Lo and behold I CAN'T? The server is grayed out! What is this? I haven't been able to make a new character in weeks.

[Aegeta]

My brother can't make a character om Balmung either, which is my server and that is the only reason he bought the game. I told him "hey good news they have it listed as open for character creation" and now he can't make a character on the server.

It'd be really nice if Square-Enix would at least say if they're going to be opening the servers anytime soon - my whole guild of friends is on Excalibur, and that one apparently never even opens... though I've stayed up this late, maybe I should give it another hour. *yawn*

[Vinge]

Since the last update it does at least now seem that no servers are perma locked for character creation any more, it just might mean trying to log on at 4-5am or something in order to find a time when they're not.

E.g. just checking now at 12.30pm uk time, so it would be 4.30am on the West Coast of the USA, and all NA servers are currently open to new character creation (including Excalibur etc)
