I posted here a few weeks ago about my problem...I have twenty something characters, far below the allowed 50, but when I try and create new characters, I'm told that I have the max number of characters on my account.

I was told that my situation would be investigated further, but have not heard back since. Please, if possible, have somebody look into this, as its been many months since I've been able to create a new characters.

Thank you.

Sorry for the delay, I just received word regarding this matter.

Rez, Rm and Galvator, if you are still around could you please attempt to create a new character and see if you still receive the max character message?

I apologize for missing this thread, Ichopchopfly, I'm usually pretty good about spotting them. :(

The issue should be resolved by tomorrows maintenance period, could you please try to create a character tomorrow and let me know if you are successful?

There are some troubleshooting steps that I can initiate but I wouldn't be able to until tomorrow.

Ok, thank you, Ichopchopfly, let me forward your information and I'll let you know when you try and create a character again.

Ichopchopfly, this is certainly not an issue that our Technical Support Staff will be able to assist you with, I am very sorry for the frustration this has caused. If you are around please let me know.

Mordlu, although you are not at the 50 character cap yet, you are very close. I have forwarded your information with Ichopchopfly's and hopefully that should resolve your issue. It might be a good idea if you rid yourself of a few more characters that don't seem to be doing anything; that will give you a bit of breathing room.

Please check the following realms: Eldre'Thalas, Dragonmaw, Gilneas, Silverhand, Blackhand, Dark Iron, Coilfang.

I haven't heard anything back as of yet, Ichopchopfly, I'm guess you are still unable to create a new character?

Not specifically, I was awaiting word about your issue and had hoped to have you test out creating a new character as soon as that word was received.

Hopefully I'll hear something in the next few hours and I'll let you know.

They referred you to our Billing Department because we can't answer such a question. Compensation or credit to an account is not something a Game Master can give you information on.

Hopefully this has been resolved, I just got word back that you and Mordlu should now be able to create new characters.

Could you give it a try for me, Ichopchopfly?

That is great to hear, Ichopchopfly, thank you for your patience and please accept my apology for the frustration this has caused you.

Have fun with your new characters. :D

The magic has been sent off into the universe; I await the harmonic resonance that tells me that all is prepared.

Lips, could you try to create a new character on your account and let me know if you are successful?

Q u o t e:

I guess what I'm asking is if your fix was temporary or permanent? Am I going to have to ask you to fix it again if the count becomes inaccurate?


You should be fine, Lips, the listing on the Realm Selection Screen does not add to our internal count.

It usually takes a little while for the database to update that count but some players have been able to get the list to reset by deleting the WTF folder found in the World of Warcraft directory.

Thank you for returning and letting me know, Lips. :)

I have forwarded your information and I will let you know as soon as I receive word, Hexy.

We do not currently have an Eversong realm, the display of the realm is an odd side effect from the battle group merger a little while back.

I thought the title of this post looked familiar. I didn't know rogues were skilled in necromancy. :P

Give me a few to take a look, Baylie, I'll see what can be done.

You fixed it!!! Yess!! You have no idea how much greif I've been through trying to get this fixed!! Thank you so much Vrakthris, you are a king!


My pleasure, Baylie, I'm glad I could help. :)

If you experience any further issues on this feel free to create a new thread. :)

Wait, do I get a castle? I've always wanted a castle with a moat. Maybe a pet dragon that I can use to chase the citizens of rival kingdoms. That would be awesome.

Q u o t e:
I have the same issue. I have fewer than 50 characters and I have deleted a lot of inactive ones. When can i create a new character? Thank you.


It looks like you currently have 42 characters on this account, Zazael, if you are unable to create additional characters please submit an in-game petition and let one of our Game Masters know.

Please note that although you may have 50 characters on a single account you may only have 10 characters on a realm.
