According to their site character creation is restricted on Gilgamesh.. but I just went to my character and before logging in hit "new character" and it went right to the character creation screen.... if I couldnt create a character on that server would n it have said "character creation impossible at this time?" Or does that not apply to existing players on that server?

The character creator is just on the datacenter. Once it's time to finalize it and play you're told to choose a server. In this case, Gilgamesh would be greyed out.

Probably does not apply to people who already had characters.

They don't want NEW people coming to the server and clogging it up worse. But if you already have a character on the server, then there's no reason to not allow you to make a new character, because you'd either play the new character or the old but in both cases, you'd be taking up the same number of login slots regardless how many characters you have on that server.

I think Brokenfox has it right.

This is correct.

I also heard if you create a character on a server that isnt restricted then immediately pay for character transfer you can transfer to any server even one with creation restrictions currently in place... can anyone confirm that?

False. The character you transfer must be at least 3 days old.

I remember hearing that the site isn't accurate because of this:

Quote:
Updates on Character Creation Restrictions can be found here.
During periods of high congestion, we may institute a temporary restriction on the creation of new characters.
This information will be updated at the following intervals:
4:00 a.m./ 8:00 a.m./ 1:00 p.m./ 6:00 p.m./ 11:00 p.m. (PDT)


The site only updates at intervals, but you can make a character at any time so long as there is a slot for you to make it in.

Since we're under maintenance as of 1 hour from now, all character creation restrictions will reset and you can roll your character on any server once they come up.

unfortunately ppl with jobs will most likely not be up at the moment the servers come back online to take advantage of that

Lets all just take a moment and enjoy the RMT free game till they re-allow it.

I'm enjoying the game again thanks to not being spammed to death every few minutes. I had to go as far as setting tells to a diffirent tab just to get some rest. And i still remembee the three "friend invites" hovering in the middle of my screen during the entire 30+ minute sequence of cutscenes without being able to click them away or decline them.

It anoys me frequently enough to the point where i just logout and play something else. I wish SE would never re-allow new characters to be honest (as unrealistic as that might be).

Yes. This is widely accepted as the easiest, if not the cheapest, way to get around character creation restrictions.
