Imagine how you would feel if you hadn't been following the game too closely and never pre-ordered it. It's launch and you can't even make a character until next week because everyone refuses to log out and give you a chance.
*Raises hand*
I'm in that boat right now. I was really bummed that I didn't get into the EA because I had only payed for 2 months of subscription back in 1.0, the 27th rolls around and I finally get to play. Or so I thought.
Turns out I'm going to have to sit here looking at my character and refreshing the world information until next week.

When their way of "enjoying the game" is going AFK and denying others the opportunity to play, I will most certainly hold it against them.
It doesn't really matter if it's the only way to guarantee a slot on a server. They're essentially saying "To hell with everyone that isn't me." and no matter your reasons, that's a shitty thing to do.
No single person can fix this problem on their own. But you can certainly decide whether or not you want to be part of the problem.
This may or may not help, as I think they've actually locked the creation of new characters on Gil and Bal (Correct me if that's incorrect though.) I've had the best, easiest time being able to log in, in the early hours of the morning. I wake up at about 7 or so AM, CST time and can get in without any problem whatsoever.
If at all possible, you might try that. Go to bed a little earlier, wake up a little earlier than normal and try it in the wee hours of the morning.Â
For some reason though, that's not the same as trying to get in at 1AM CST. Apparently, the late hours of the night are not the same as the wee hours of the morning..Â
Anywho. Back on topic!
