Cannot create another character on same server!

[Kingsmash]

So I have a main character on adamantoise and for the sake of variation I want another character on the same server. I had this character made but I decided against how he looked before I started playing. So I deleted my old character and immediately loaded the new one with the different appearance. When I went to choose a server it said that adamantoise was not taking any new characters at this time.

I have tried a few times since then and no luck. I still want another character but obviously on the same server. Is this a temporary restriction or is this server actually at max? Are servers actually locking out players by the character and not by the account? Seems insanely stupid since I can only be playing one at any given time.

Good God. It's getting even worse. I still can't create a character where I need to go, and now they're limiting servers even more.

Never a good idea to delete a character before you know for sure you can make one on the server...

just keep a close eye on the server yesterday i stayed on the on the server selection page of character creation updating every 30 min or so through the day different servers were opening and closing but the server i wanted eventaully became open

Are they ever gonna release these restrictions permanently or are they just gonna wait for more people to leave the game? I am a very patient person but I must say that even I am getting tired of the restrictions. Never have I seen a game with so many restrictions that wasn't FTP. People are going to be leaving in droves once they have to start paying for the game and I think that is what they are waiting for. But even in a free to play game where your character creation is down to 2 characters, you can still create new characters as long as you delete 1 of them. You can't even do that here. They allowed 8 characters per person per server and most people can't even make more than 1 on the same server. It is ridiculous.

I only deleted him because I wanted the same name. Should have just kept the ugly one...

Or maybe SE can just stop being stupid and allow players with characters already on a server to create more.

I agree, low level zones are becoming more unpopulated as time goes by, let us who have established a character there make new ones. Actually let everyone just choose their server already.

Agreed this is getting beyond a joke i just want to be able to make what the game says i can make, but this restrictions on Behemoth are just making me think i need to return to Guildwars 2 there i can make Alts. unbelievable...

Looks like the restriction is lifted (at least for now). I just created a new character.
