Hard for New Player to get Started

Just loaded the game and after umpteen times of updating itself I finally get to char creating only to be told that I can't create a char unless I already have done so earlier. Most servers telling me same thing with others too full. Is this normal for WOW? Darn shame that a new player can't even get into the game after loading the software.
Hope this is not normal!!!

Try and find a server with a lower population and you should be fine.
The reason its like that is because so many people play (don't know why
) that some servers just have way to many people.
Try one of the less populated servers for now during peak play hours. If you want to join a more populated server try during off-peak play times.
Thanks for the replies but I was trying on the low servers. I just read on the WOW forum that there are a lot of people negatively affected by this restriction and it has been going on for some time now (over a month). Also, I can't even post on the WOW forum cuz it says "restricted" and I have an account. Jeez this stinks.
Guess I'll keep playing GW and trying out the DAoC which I bought at the same time as WOW.
Thanks anyway.

thats a link to WoW forums saying which servers you can't make a char on atm.
The system is actually quite simple.
"If there is a queue to log in to that server, you cannot create a character there unless you already have someone created."
As stated previously, try a low population servers (Note: New doesn't mean Low pop, those servers are usually more crowded)
If you absolutely must create on a particular server (friends etc...), then do it an early morning and you'll be fine.
