Creating characters...?

[NovaLevossida]

That's one thing that gets me. Apparently Cactuar is soo~ full that no one can make new characters on it yet I can log in at almost any time of day and only have 5 people in the queue ahead of me at most (while other severs have close to 100)? Something doesn't add up.

That's really depressing as Cactuar is where I need to be. It would imply that all the other servers that are fluctuating between being available and unavailable are doing so based on population logged in while Cactuar is just manually locked.

Add as much fuel as you like! I'm trying to get SE to see that this is a major issue and there are many many more people who cannot complain because they cannot post. They at least need to give us a definite day for each server so people know and can get on with their lives until then. SE response please?

I also sympathize with those who have been trying to create characters since launch and have not yet been able to. My girlfriend has been trying to get into my server (behemoth) for a few days now and has not yet been able to. I find it incredibly ridiculous that their free 30 day trial timer has been running, even though they have not been able to play the game at all. I believe this adding of 7 days to everyone's subscription is nowhere near the appropriate compensation for the the inconveniences that many people have been faced with in terms of being able to play a game that was PAYED for. I mean if this sort of problem was in a free MMO, then I'm sure people would still be upset, but a lot more compliant in terms of being patient, but when you are actually paying real money for something you can't do anything with... then there needs to be a lot more compensation. 2 of my friends have been able to successfully join behemoth since I did, but my girlfriend is the last one, and has yet to be able to create a character, which is why I am posting this on her behalf, as she cannot post due to not currently possessing a created character. After seeing how full the servers got, as quickly as it happened, SE should have owned up to their mistake, shut down all the servers, suspended everyone's subscriptions, and sent a notice saying that they needed a week or so to upgrade their equipment cause they were not ready for this many people. Taking people's money, and not giving them really anything back for it, isn't right.

For those who have got into the game already, yes most things are fine and dandy, but for those who purchased the game at launch (or earlier) and have not been able to get into the game... to be told that they are being given 7 days extra for free is like a slap in the face because those 7 days have not even compensated for how long they have been waiting.

.... just my 2 cents.
