Character Creation Management System

All of us have struggled with lag issues at some point or another in our Warcraft careers. Perhaps your server has a queue to log in, or perhaps you frequently end up stuck at the loading characters screen, but we've all had a chance to see what it's like. Blizzard has recently been coping with this by closing character creation on overcrowded servers, and while this seems like more of a stop-gap measure than a real solution, they've decided to expand the practice. Yesterday, community manager Eyonix announced an automated system that would close character creation (for players without existing characters on the server) when there's a login queue.
