Day 3 of name reservation. Still unable to reserve names on RP or RP-PvP realms. Getting the ‘no realms currently available (WOW51900309)’ error.
I tweeted @blizzardcs about this yesterday; I got this response from ‘JH’.
“Have you been able to log into Forever and select any other ruleset besides RP or RP PvP? Did you fully download the hotfix from this morning? You may need to select a different ruleset first, log back out, then log into Forever again to see the other rulesets. ^JH”
First of all, I appreciate the response. I’d like to address each thing one by one to show I’ve done my due diligence, and maybe someone can point out something I’ve missed if I am failing to do something.
-
"Have you been able to log into Forever and select any other ruleset besides RP or RP PvP? ". Yes. I can access PvE and PvP but not RP or RP- PvP (The servers I actually want to play on).
-
“Did you fully download the hotfix from this morning?” Yes. My game version is 1.60.1.70685. If this is not the most current, up-to-date version, please let me know and also please show me how to download the latest version, as clicking the little cog next to the 'Play ’ button and selecting ‘Check for Updates’ just tells me that my game is up to date. So it’s possible that Battle.net is failing to find the update that fixes this issue.
-
“You may need to select a different ruleset first, log back out, then log into Forever again to see the other rulesets.” I have tried this multiple times over the past 2 days; no variation of events fixes the issue, no matter how much I cross my fingers and pray lol.
I’m less concerned about reserving my names and more so about being able to play WoW Forever come November 4th? If I cannot play the game, will I be able to refund?
Forever doesn’t require an additional purchase and is included in your base subscription so you’d be unable to refund any upgrades you’d bought for the goodies methinks.
Did you see the notice that has been up for WoW: Forever?
Attention Oceanic players connecting to Australian-based servers: Due to a bug, you must create any characters on Roleplay or Roleplay-PvP rulesets before creating characters on Normal or PvP rulesets. If you first create a character on the Normal or PvP ruleset, the Roleplay and Roleplay-PvP rulesets will no longer be available for subsequent characters.
From what I can see you have 2 characters on the PVP Ruleset and one on the RP PVP Ruleset.
I believe the overall issue may be resolved, but those characters on the regular PVP Ruleset might be the issue. We have maintenance tomorrow morning for NA and EU is later, so if you are still having trouble you might try after that.
Yes, I am aware of the message. However, it’s a bit of a catch-22. Telling players that they need to create a character on an RP or RP-PvP realm first, while it’s impossible to access the RP/RP-PvP realms due to the “no realms” bug, sends a bit of a mixed message.
After making this forum post, I tried again. I created two characters on the PvP server as placeholders for when I’m finally able to log into the RP server. From the PvP server, I was then able to access the RP-PvP server and create a character there.
Ironically, this debunks the server message stating:
“You must create any characters on Roleplay or Roleplay-PvP rulesets before creating characters on Normal or PvP rulesets. If you first create a character on the Normal or PvP ruleset, the Roleplay and Roleplay-PvP rulesets will no longer be available for subsequent characters.”
So, it seems like that message isn’t entirely accurate. It IS possible to create RP-PvP characters after making characters on a PvP server. However, it’s STILL impossible to access the RP server, regardless of whether your game is up to date or whether you’ve logged into the PvP or PvE servers first.
It’s all a mess.
I know you guys are trying your best. <3
Hi! I have 0 characters created and can’t access the RP ruleset.
There is a bug, it’s weird it’s not being acknowledged.
I have also been unable to connect with the Roleplay Ruleset but have always been able to connect to the Normal, PVP and Roleplay-PVP Rulesets. As suggested I created a character on the Roleplay-PVP ruleset and have then tried but the Roleplay Ruleset continues to send the WOW51900309 even after this mornings maintenance here in OCE so I’m still having trouble connecting.
Following the maintenance today my characters have suddenly moved from the RP realm to the Normal realm.
Because they were made on the normal realm, the RP ones have been down. If you switched realms while making them they never actually moved.
Eh… that might not be entirely true. There have been issues with some RP Rulesets, and in the course of trying to get them fixed I believe that may have happened to some.
It should be easy enough to recreate the character on the Ruleset you wish. The names are unique to the region, so you should be able to delete and recreate where you want.
If I delete it on the normal realm, and make it on the RP realm…it instantly gets moved to the normal realm.
I’ve seen other people having this issue. The game won’t let us make characters on this realm. It automatically moves it to another.
Incorrect. They were 100% on the rp realm. It won’t even let me make characters on the rp realm. They get instantly moved to another realm. Or ruleset. Whatever it’s called.
Edit - I may have gotten it to work. I deleted all the characters off the normal realm, thinking maybe having a character there was causing any character I make on the rp ruleset to move over there. But instead the character I made got moved to the rp-pvp realm. Then I made a second character on the rp realm and it seemed like it stayed there, and also sucked back the character from the rp-pvp realm. Then I tried to make a third and when i clicked ‘finish’…it didn’t make it. The button just greyed out and booted me.
Now it’s saying World Full and I’m stuck in a queue of -2.
Edit 2 - Well, so much for that. Reconnected and all the characters are on the rp-pvp realm now. This really needs to get sorted out.
This has been going on for 2 days now, is there any updates on the characters being force created on RP-PvP ruleset despite picking anything else? Any guidance?
At the moment the best I can tell you is that the team is aware and the have been working on it. They addressed an issue with the Oceanic RP/RP-PVP Ruleset options yesterday.. and hopefully that is resolved.
The ones for the US RP ruleset seemed fine, but apparently not. I’ve passed on some of the samples from this and another thread, so hopefully they can figure out what is happening.
I select the PVE server, create a character, then the game “reconnects” and it sticks my characters on the RP or RPPVP server. Ive tried deleting them and switching rulesets back to PVE but it does the same thing over and over.
As long as the name is reserved the current ruleset should not matter. On Wednesday delete the placeholder and reroll on your chosen server.
That’s assuming it’s any different then.
Doesn’t seem like this is going to be fixed by launch… so we’re all going to be screwed if we can’t get our characters on the rulesets we want.
I keep deleting mine and recreating them. it says they’re on the RP ruleset which I selected, but then it “reconnects” and there are no characters there… they are all on the RP-PvP ruleset.
I even tried PvE and they still end up on the RP-PvP.
So yeah, doesn’t look promising.
Having the exact same issue here… I just deleted them all. Hopefully we’ll get a blue reply.
Thanks, everyone. I included some of the info here for the team to look into. RP and RP-PVP has been causing no small number of issues for some reason. They are trying to figure them out and get them to work the way they are intended.
I bought the Skyborne Warcraft III bundle with name reservation.
on the day name reservation opened, every time i chose RP ruleset it said no realms were available.
Reading the forums I found Blizzard posts saying you can choose a different ruleset to get in, then change it from the upper menu strip. So this is what I chose PvE and then used that menu strip to change to Roleplay.
I created my 3 characters and thought I was done.
But then I looked and it said “Normal” above my characters. so I went to the roleplay menu again and chose Roleplay again. Then it said “Roleplay” in the character list but no characters.
So since Blizzard posts have also said you can delete your character and recreate in another ruleset, I tested that on one of my characters. I deleted the character, then changed the ruleset menu to Roleplay again. It is clearly selected, and it takes me to character creation again. So I recreated the character.
Same thing. The character was created in the same group as my other two I did not delete, and it says “Normal”. If I go to the ruleset menu again, and choose Roleplay, again it shows zero characters.
Yeah I just tried following some other advice, that you have to delete ALL your characters before you can change ruleset…
So I did that, and now no matter which ruleset I select it puts me on RP-PvP… even though it says I’m on something else.
I can’t even get back on the PvE ruleset now.
This is absolutely insane.
