Login limitation is happening on all worlds after maintenance, yes, but character creation restriction on gilgamesh has been a constant since very, very shortly after launch.
I actually have made a tally (because I like tallies, okay?) of the worlds who had announcements about character creation locks made on the official EN news twitter, if anyone's interested! Others have had creation locked too, naturally, but not deliberately in the same way these have - always in a way that can be fixed by a few refreshes.
And onto things that are not silly tallies! I'm absolutely fine with a lack of official support, honestly I'm realistic enough to not expect the bulk of the Gilgamesh community to want to move. What I want is to be able to keep all the people who can't play on Gilgy right now to one server so everyone can play together.
Mostly I'm just a little weirded out that so many people on Gilgamesh are so absolutely against even that much, something that would not affect them at all - there are people here getting upset over the fact that people are talking about going somewhere other than Gilgamesh when they literally cannot make a character on Gilgamesh. People actually saying 'no you're not allowed to have fun if it's not with me'. It's not splintering the community at all. Bringing everyone who can't get to Gilgy or doesn't want to be separated from friends who can't to one world to play, either temporarily or permanently, would keep the community together.
What will splinter the community is failing to do this. People are stuck with Gilgamesh because of four days of playtime, maximum. If Gilgy doesn't come back before launch, this is going to continue for longer than four days. If people who can't get to Gilgamesh just go to whatever server they can without being organized, chances are they're going to make their own friend groups and stay there.
I'm okay with a lack of official support, but people are going to find a server and dig their heels in no matter what. I'd just really like it to be the same server.
