I tried to make a Sutekh character to play with friends up to an hour after fresh start servers opened and could not. Not wanting to miss out on the fresh start experience I made a character on Primordial and spent the day there levelling up to around 20. Then someone mentioned Sutekh was no longer restricted, so I checked and indeed the new character restriction was lifted, so I log back into Primordial, give away everything and delete the level 20.
Then guess what happened? In that time Sutekh was locked again so I had to just watch and wait, I watched the numbers dwindle down to 650/2500 online with MED pop and still the new character creation restriction was not lifted.
How quiet does the server need to get for me to make a character? Why do I feel robbed and disinterested in the game? How many other people experienced similar letdowns?
