What a waste of time... dont want to have to start creating characters again on another server. but NCsoft should have anticipated this and informed people. they had the numbers...

Ouch.. why did you remake them?

Seriously, that's like a game killer for me. I'm gonna see if I can plead with them...

Many games will reserve your name for at least 24 hours after you delete your character. I think that should just be a must for any MMO. If you want to change something about your character, especially during the launch week, you should be able to without having this happen to you. Really sorry.
On the other hand, it may be a server bug where those names still think they are taken by you because of the data on the servers not moving as fast. It will have to log that you deleted the, allow those names, tell wherever they handle creation, etc. It might not be taken by someone else.

I feel for you :S That happened to me hopefully it was during Open Beta so I fine tuned the character back then.
I switched servers, but now my friends have to switch, too. I guess I'll wait a few days to actually make my character, now. I just don't think I can do it in 6 minutes.

Oh, I hope so... I really think somebody grabbed it though. It took me 8 minutes to create the character and its 6 minute deletion buffer. Next time I'm using a stopwatch.

I cant login "server is full" ...
I had an estimated 18 minute await, it actually lasted about a minute.
probably because everyone that has planned on playing most likely has preordered..so in a way, this is 'Launch'.
there are 2 of us, one still has 8 minutes to wait, the other cant even connect to the queue, too many users...
LoL~
Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.

Rename the threat to 1h 30m
I managed to get in in time but the lagg is insane.
I'm looking at about 6 hours on my screen. :l

My concern is that this could still be happening when I try to log in tomorrow, next week, or in 1 month. I don't like queues.
Well duh, everybody knew this would be happening. I didn't even bother trying to login. It happens with every mmo that launches.
Ouch.. why did you remake them?

I don't know about any timers, when I try to log in they all show high and its says "you cannot connect to the server, there are too many users now"
