So I have a friend that pre-ordered the game and started playing but quit about a month after release. He decided to play again, but he is on a different server from me, he deleted all his characters but is still stuck on that other server and can’t create a new character on my server, what can he do about this?
BG makes a good point. If the world is full, your friend won’t be able to join. The good news, though, is that world populations change all the time. Therefore, he should continue to try, even during “odd hours.” I believe he’ll find he’s able to get onto the desired world soon.
Good suggestions, IWN — thanks for sharing.
Sure. The population of a world is not the number then present at a specific time, but the total number affiliated with or living in that game world. Sort of like the population of Bellevue, Washington is a given number, even if many are away working in other cities during the work day.
