Servers

Zeddakis

So I picked up a box copy of the game yesterday, since it sounded like their server issues had been addressed. I went though the character creation process and when I went to select the server my friends are on it tells me I can't create a character on that server. So this issue is still going on? I have been refreshing for the last two days hoping at some point I would be able to finish the process. Do they rotate servers so at some point I might be able to join my  to friend's server? The server is Behemoth. Thanks for any insight or information!

They just updated the character creation list, now most US servers are now able to, japan on the other hand most of them you can not.

yep looks like behemoth still can't create characters, but maybe later today if you lucky.

Have to say this is really disappointing. I thought they had all of this fixed now?

It's based on server load.  Honestly I would say start on another server and transfer because until transfer comes behemoth probably won't be open to much.  And, after transfers I see a lot of people moving off of it since it's been locked since EA basically.

If they were going to give everyone at least one free transfer I might be inclined, but I don't think they have said they will do that. Also I play MMOs to play with other people and prefer to be where the people I want to play with are.

In a current later post update Yoshida says that they are further adressing the issues asap and it was more like a little hotfix so far. For example they are still halting their digital download sellings of the game.

Well I went ahead and rolled on another server, since I just didn't want to throw my free time away. I hope they do the right thing when everything is working as it should and give everyone one free transfer. I don't want to have to re-roll and have to go through the starting cut scenes and run you around the city quests again.
