I think the character "lock" issue comes from SE not taking into account how much server space they would need. Â I remember reading that when 2.0 launched, the servers for NA broke almost instantly because they didn't account for the size they would actually need. The game has 4 million players, the majority of the US players are on the Aether data center across two servers and then on the other servers still...
I've paid transfer for alts to Balmung...it's not the end of the world. Â I don't NEED an alt and I recognize that I am kind of just taking up a spot of a first-time player making alts at maint (which is not possible now btw...I tried to make another alt recently and it did not work).Â
So yeah...$18 isn't that bad. Â SE probably didn't take into account the server space actually needed but they're slowly fixing it I think? HW just dropped a month ago...give it time. Â 2.0 drop was like this. 1.0 was even worse...(1.0 on release wasn't even a game...it was like...stand there and do nothing in pretty graphics simulator).Â

That's all I'll add >>
