*Rises up from beneath the hat on the floor*Â
Nine out of Ten gamers appear to not realize that the lack of an automatic logout implemented by SE is the cause of the server congestion and character creation restriction. The reason both Balmung and "Greg" (<---- I love this nickname) have brief windows for new character registration is not because of the amount of characters being registered, but because of the congestion on the world at these intervals. Layman's terms: TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE LOGGED IN.
No, I am not yelling at you, dear reader. I would like everyone here to consider this though, as I am fairly certain a lot of us users do it (myself included until now); when you don't log off the game when you're finished playing for the day, you are depriving a newbie a chance to get in the world.
We've all done it, set a massive craft spam of mats and just walked away from the computer. Three hours later, he or she's probably crying about their bruised knee from being in that position for so long but! What we may not realize is that we're also wasting server populace space.Â
Botters (Yes, you) are wasting server space. Going afk for hours is wasting server space. Going to sleep for 6-11 hours with your character logged in, pink and red chair floating over their head....is wasting server space.
I have no idea if the devs will return the auto-logout feature to the game, but until they do; at the very least, our community can be consciously aware of this very serious issue now for potential players, potential friends, potential positive additions to our lovely community. Three people logging off may not make a difference, but it might. Sixty people logging off probably will.
I realize that both worlds share the lands with PvEers and whatnot who will not read this forum post, though I am considering putting it on the official forum as well....just to see what happens. Isn't it worth a shot?
Be alert: the world needs more lerts.
Or just....log out and shut down when you're done playing, give someone a chance to get on.Â
Cheers!

What a colossal waste of time and energy.
