You're really not good at reading are you?

Here, let me break it down for you:

With the maintenance completed on September 4, we have increased the number of concurrent connections allowed across all Worlds by roughly 60,000 users. For the time being, however, we believe it necessary to maintain login and character creation restrictions, even though they have inconvenienced many of our players.

Specific details will be announced as soon as they are available.

Even with the increased capacity of all Worlds, the number of simultaneous logins is still reaching the limit. Because increasing server capacity further would result in significant stress to individual zones, frequent restrictions on character creation have been necessary for the most heavily populated Worlds.

(snip)

The above improvements are scheduled to be implemented next week. We will make an announcement at the beginning of next week with further details

Do you need me to make it EVEN SIMPLER for you?

OK.

The solution is that they still need more hardware.
The ETA on this is (hopefully) sometime next week.

Seriously, was it that hard?
