Creating characters...?

[pctech86]

Any news on when we are going to be able to do so? I have three people waiting to get on our server (which currently has 15 people on it so no we arent going to move around). I did have SIX people waiting but three of them said "F THIS" and stopped trying because they couldn't create a character almost two weeks after launch

Response Square Enix?

I would also like some news on this. I'm in the situation of needing to be on a server where all my friends are, but I can't. So I can't play at all. This is extremely irritating.

Agreed. Some will say "it's a game you dont NEED to do anything" however the sole reason I bought was to play with my comrades as many have. The word of mouth on this game is amazing but the potential subscribers are LITERALLY dropping like flies because they are tired of waiting to either buy the game or even to be able to create a toon. Nobody wants to join after ALL of their friends are capped

I sympathize with you. My Free Company also has an RL friend that is stuck on a JP server because that was the ONLY server available when he registered an account. We need him because he will be playing SUM and WHM.

What makes it even more irritating is that unlike a login server queue, I have to actively keep checking in to see if the server has opened up. They start to open up in the dead of night / early morning hours, but the one I need has not opened yet during those times. So, here I am setting an alarm clock and sleeping in one hour cycles just to see if I can play the game. Seriously. I shouldn't have to resort to one hour sleep cycles just to try to create a character on the random chance that the server's available.

Furthermore, how long do I keep this up before I say enough is enough? It's been the better part of a week thus far, and I don't see myself caring about the game tomorrow or Sunday.

Yeah my server doesnt even come open at 3 4 or 5 am

Bump for SE response since there have been no statements on whether we will be able to buy the game or create new characters

Good luck getting a responce from SE.. I have read hundreds of posts on this site, and not seen a single answer from SE on any of them. I love the game so far, and have had all the same issues as everyone else, I got to create a character in Beta4 tho... But what that got me was isolation from all my friends. All my friends that decided to wait till character creation is open have either given up or gotten refunds. So now even when character creation does open... I will still be alone.

Worst MMO launch ever... What was the second worst MMO launch??? Well it was version 1.0.

What I dont understand is how smaller companies are so much better at customer support than the larger ones. It baffles me.

Nearly all the servers were open like an hour ago when I created another character
