I’m having the same issue. Just started playing and felt like creating a new character. I’ve tried comming up with loads of unique names, random key-presses; nothing works.
This is not a fix, but a workaround. If you want to play seasonal and have played diablo 3 in the past and have characters already then you can use the rebirth function to make them seasonal.
No, I have the same problem in the EU and when I searched for it, it showed up in the US before the EU, it’s a global issue, it seems.

Cares given by Blizzard, also put at zero, but hey shareholders are getting good reports. Sacked 800 staff last year, another 260 to go in France, more to follow, but Bobby boy is getting good dividends, so all is good in the world, eh.
