either way... it doesnt seem to be the QUICK FIX it was said to be...
With any and everyone at comic-con being able to see it... then denying it from the majority of the player base is a big load... if that is what is going on.... and the more i read that seems to be the case...

My understanding is that some of the code which has been written has a side effect of locking out anyone who is not supposed to be authorized from getting to Server selection, much less character creation. Earlier, that code did not appear to be working, which is why folks were able to see the character creator.
The servers have been taken down (meaning, not even Beta testers can get to it at the moment) until this issue is fixed.
Now, amid the cries of "Unfair!" and "Why change this now?" I'll explain the purpose of this code change. What we've done is instituted a "Queue" server, so that on really busy weekends, Freedom won't be listed as "unavailable" if it is full, it will simply put you into the "next available slot" queue. Hopefully, this will alleviate some of the issues that crop up from the full server problem.
Well, I can get to the server selection screen, but after that I "Lost connection to DBserver."

"We are trying to fix the side effect so that everyone can access Character Creation as usual."
- or should we interpret it as -
"Once this is fixed, only Closed Beta Testers will be able to access Character Creation during the Closed Beta period."

Unless you are authorized (ie: Have a Beta Invite) you should not be able to get to server selection or character creation.

Agreed. Sorry, but this is still ridiculously ambiguous. Are you saying that, once the server comes back up, the new Queue code will be working and we can take turns testing? Or is it just official Beta folks only?

Well, that's pretty clear. Thanks for the clarification, Castle.
Ah. Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification. This makes me incredibly frustrated and sad, but I appreciate knowing what's going on. Can you give us a reason as to why we should be locked out? I understand the que order change, but still, it gave those of us who aren't in the beta something to live for.

Will only Beta Testers be able to access the Character Creator at all? Will non-beta accounts be able to get into the queue and eventually get to the Character Creator?
If non-beta will not be able to get to it at all, I strongly suggest changing that, unless, as I said before, there are some other secret, market-breaking features or that you are testing other features like the functionality of that new log-in system. With the other games in development, that would be a marketing boondoggle; you could get so much interest and "free" coverage and possibly displace the competition in the media.
(The saddest part of posting this is that I believe that there is a slim chance that the people at Paragon Studios might not have seriously considered the marketing value of allowing free access to the Character Creator.)
