I do not have too much more of an update to share, but still wanted to keep folks in the loop where I can.
In checking in with the teams, this server has remained locked to avoid a large queue situation from occurring due to the number of player accounts/characters on it. While this may change at some point, unfortunately I do not have an ETA to give – but the team is aware of the feedback while they continue to work to balance server loads. I apologize for folks that want to join in and play, and understand this will not be a satisfying answer, but I will keep trying to provide updates when I can.
