Hard for New Player to get Started

yeliab

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.
