I actually had the same problem when I first tried to get into the server. The way I got in was I just transfered over my current main Ive been using since I started playing using the world transfer services. I wouldn't recommend doing this though unless you have an extra 20 or so $ to throw around for it. But I think that is the only other way to get into the server if you don't want to start from scratch or cant stay up late enough to create a character and join the server.
EDIT: I have personally confirmed there are no server join restrictions towards characters being transfered so that would be the most solid yet expensive method at you're disposal.
