We can switch servers, right? That "More info" note today basically states that, as far as I understand. Perhaps down the road, if I can get Dagok and friends to come , I can move to the heathen servers once the player limit is increased.

You can create characters on any server in any region - eight characters per server.

You can not switch characters between servers. Blizzard has stated that while it is possible to do so they have no plans to offer the service.

Played for 2 hours last night. Between levels 8 and 9. Grouped with Halsy and I think SMA for about an hour. I really think that leveling goes faster at these lower levels when you play solo.

We should have a guild name and charter some time next week. Apparently Blizzard is dealing with some issues regarding guild charters:

There are a few issues with guild charters at the moment. If you're planning on making a guild, keep these in mind:

The guild charter will disappear if the holder logs out or switches continents. Make sure you have time to be online or have your guildmates already gathered when you go to make your charter.

Also, be wary of signing multiple charters. The first charter turned in will go through, but every other charter that you sign will give the error "That guild name already exists" when you turn it in. Please be mindful of what you sign. :)

So I think the wait will be worth it.
