When a new realm is released, the player cap is purposely set fairly low. This is done to give players ample time to disperse. As performance issues often occur when too many players are congregated in the same new areas of the world. Also, as many of you know, when a realm queues, character creation is disabled. Which is what you're seeing now.
The announcement of these new realms caused much in the way of excitement, driving a great deal of players to creating new characters on these realms. If you're interested in a new start, and you cannot currently create a character, or are waiting in a queue -- please wait patiently. Eventually, the caps will be raised, and the new realm novelty will wear itself thin.
In the meantime, please do not spam our message boards. If you want to discuss this topic, do so in this thread.

You should also keep in mind that we chose this particular time to release the new realms so that they'd fill up primarily with Oceanic players, rather than North American players. Your best interests were not only kept in mind, they fueled the decision.
And so everyone is aware, what's happening here now would've occurred no matter what time we released the new realms. It's because we announced them several hours before we opened them up publicly. Which we usually refrain from doing. However, Oceanic players have been most persistent in requesting updates, and thus they were provided.[ post edited by Eyonix ]

Q u o t e:
an idea would have been to perhaps correctly gauge the amount of interest in this server, which was BLATANTLY obvious, and either:
make a second server
or
open the server at NON-peak time..
im baffled as to how an intelligent person could think what youve done is good logic

Also, for your own information, what's happening here now would've occurred no matter what time we released the new realms. It's because we announced them several hours before we opened them up publicly. Which we usually refrain from doing.

Don't dismiss the existence of logic simply because you don't immediately see logic.[ post edited by Eyonix ]
