Char creation is still not working on PvE realms.

I managed to get in on Entity. Granted it created 4 of my characters at once... But I got in. 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Details please. How did all 4 show up at once?
----
			It's been 2 days and I still can't make a character. Is this a joke?	
----
			
Been downloading this game since 2 days ago, was really looking forward to trying out and exp this game for myself. Hold and behold you can't create a character to test the game. Now this is the launch of the F2P to gain more customer and player support base and to enhance the exp for all involved. 
 
Right of the bat you have issues with you game, not a very good impression, and what do you do. You tell people don't worry we will fix it, yeah right we can see this was either incompetent work from someone on you staff that needs serious addressing, or a purpose move to see if will maybe buy accounts and stuff etc.
 
I've already put some money away that I would have spend on the game if I liked it, so did some of my friends that would have join me at the start, but this coax move is really hampering me to not even stay and try this game.
 
You got a 16 page story of people saying "Please fix",what do you do. You say "Don't worry we will get to around to it when we feel it necessary, no ETA don't worry".
 
WOW just wow, with that type of responses what of help can I expect in game. I'm really having a hard time even considering even playing this game now. Well anyways hope you don't lose to many players and support because of your lax attitude.

I'm not really buying into the "this happens during peak times" explanation.
 
9am EST (6am PST) is not peak for NA.
 
I tried at least 3-4 times to make a character last night, went to bed to see if it would show up after "a long delay" (i.e., 8+ hours) and...no character. And still an hourglass this morning.	
----
			I manage to get in. Well all i do is create my charecter and when i click on enter it have to wait for a while until it got Disconnect and after it disconnect login again and there your charecter	
----
			
Do you think we should wait on the character creation screen to get in (like in the queue), or restart the game and try to create it on and on?
 
@SirLawliet - how much time did you wait until Disconnected? I am currently waiting like for 20 minutes

About 30 min idk how i got in but when i got kicked from Disconnect and relogin i got the charecter made

Ok thanks, I will wait and see if anything will happen... ;)

			Oh god, Second day after launch and i still cant play this fcking game, its either over 1 hour long queue or problem with character creation, this company is pure garbage. Acting like they got no idea that F2P is coming, terrible preparation of servers.... just awful. Wish you best luck with making new customers with this fcking policy.	
----
			Cannot get past character creation screen!	
----
			
Just to share my experience after getting a new character created:
 
I downloaded the game last night. After sitting in the queue for about an hour, I tried to make my character. Stuck at finalizing with the hourglass. Waited a solid hour while tabbing in occasionally to make sure it didn't disconnect for inactivity. Ended up playing a game of Starcraft about then, disconnected for inactivity in that half hour, logged back in, no character.
 
Okay. So I make it again and get the hourglass again. Resume doing other things and tabbing back in occasionally to prevent auto-DC. Another solid hour.
 
Alright, this is getting kind of ridiculous, I think, so I decide to let it auto-DC me based on some reports that characters have shown up after logging back in. No luck twice in a row. So I remake my character AGAIN and resume keeping myself from DCing. No luck.
 
I go to bed.
 
I wake up 6 hours later.
 
Suddenly all of my characters all over.
 
So it appears they DO show up, but its borked as heck. I don't think theres really much pattern to it. Just keep trying. They'll probably show up eventually.
 
For anyone ELSE who has got in on a new character - ANY of you actually get in after waiting on the hourglass, or is it 100% like my scenario where the characters show up after the fact?	
----
			No queues this morning, but I continue to get an infinite hourglass when attempting to finalize character creation and hit the "Enter Game" button.  I don't know about you, but the basic inability to create new characters on PvE servers is beginning to tell me Carbine rushed the F2P version of the game to release. I would have been okay with waiting a few more weeks to have them fix bugs like this.  Game developers these days, their publishers want their money as quick as possible, so often they will place a release date that is FINAL, even if the game is still buggy and unfinished like the F2P version of WildStar apparently is. So game gets released, and we are not surprised to find bug after bug on launch day.  	
----
			The biggest issue seems to be either a memory leak or the fact that at least seemingly things are tied to a single instance where things aren't split up properly and it's causing a mass overload when a lot of people get on. I was able to make a character fine after the restart the other day but am no longer able to do so so it points to either a memory issue, not enough hardware in general to suppport it or other things. 	
----
			So it looks like i got past the creation screen...all you have to do is wait for about 15 mins or so with the hourglass icon and it will eventually let you in....thing is its letting me in on chars ive made about 10 minutes ago as tests to see if I can replicate the problem. Seems to be a massive lag between logins...hopefully they're looking into this.	
----
			Regarding character creation, it seems the Auth server that actually logs you in is broken or non-functional on Entity server, which would explain the infinite hourglass issue with regard to character creation and also created characters not appearing even after switching servers several times.  Hopefully they are getting this fixed :)	
----
			
Still doesn't work on Jabbit.
Also why the *cupcake* do i have to login in to this forum every few hours?!
 
Seriously Cabine, hire some people that actually know their job.
So sad, that company still is as bad as they were back then.

I played the Rift that tried and failed to be WoW. The one filled with lags and game breaking bugs in raids literally months after release. Honestly if you like Rift so much go play that.

Silly question, character creation still FUBAR? Dev tracker doesn't tell me much, only that it was their "top priority" 24 hours ago, and I tried the past 2 nights, but end up going to bed when seeing the hourglass of death :P
 
So... everyone still having CC issues?

			Yes Xaerr. Came to here because I'm sitting here looking at an hourglass.

So glad you know their jobs so well! Because its so easy to fix bugs and glitches when something new comes out!

			Finally got in, i'm not sure if this helps but as I finished customizing my character I waited a couple seconds in the final screen before hitting the Enter Game button, before I did tho I backtracked a bit and immediately when back to the final screen, waited a few more seconds and hit Enter Game, and it let me in instantly, maybe this will help?

Hehe. Thanks for the update everyone.

So, installed the game yesterday.Wanted to start playing today but was stuck with a 1,5 hour queue.
Now I finally got in and can't create my character.Awesome start, I'd say...
Any ETA?	
----
			
Thought i'd drop by and give my 2 cents, This is the second time I've un-installed wild star from mine and my wife's machines. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...
 
She can't even create a character 
And I can't get through one fight with out the server lagging for  5 mins. due to some very deep core code imperfections. These are the same problems that were here over a year ago. when my guild first quit wild star.
 
The core code was poorly written. Thus resulting in a minor bug fix causing mass collateral damage. 
 
99 bugs in the code...
99 bugs in the code...
take one down patch it around,

Europe pvp server doesn't let me create my character, as soon as i press that green button "enter game" it doesn't freeze but it's not doing anything either.
 	
----
			Tried getting on both of the EU servers for 2 days solid now, both having the same issue of getting stuck after hitting the enter game button, any official update on this matter would be awsome as havent heard anything since the original post...	
----
			Same issue here!! I was trying to create a character on any of the EU servers but without any success. Please give us any update or even better an actual fix to this issue.	
----
			The Last Dev post was 16 hours ago I am used to eve online where devs give updates almost hourly or at elast every four hours. Either nothing is being done, or the problem is very very serious.	
----
			holy crap how pathetic start! Im stuck too	
----
			Just create your character press enter and wait until the game greys out and kicks you out then enter the game again and your character will appear in character list	
----
			
"Let's go."
"We can't"
"Why not?"
"We're waiting for Godot..."
 
It might be prudent to consider at least an update about the issue...even if it is a "Sorry, we are still searching for the problem. It might take more time than anticipated"	
----
			Honestly, I thought. With all the quality of life changes now would be a good time to resub. Totally regretting that decision. I haven't been able to play since it "launched". Aside from not being able to create a character I received no less than 6 confirmation emails when I subscribed each with a different order number waiting to see how many times my CC was billed. I really don't give a shit about f2p players issues. I payed for this. I expect some compensation at the very least.	
----
			
Agreed Victoria, neither is acceptable, if its that serious at least inform us of whats going on, and a little more often then every couple of days...
 
And Myri this is hardly true, ive created multiple  characters of both servers, many times waiting to be timed out for the last 2 days and none of those characters have appeared, each and every time i log in i have to re-create my character...

1 1/2 hour later, no updates. They're definitely waiting for it to fix itself.
----
			I had this problem yesterday. I somehow managed (I relaunched the game few dozen times) to make a character on Europe PvE, but since my friends play on Europe PvP I tried to make a character there as well. Total failure as of now.	
----
			
Unfortunately there is a lot of tardbait in these posts. The game has been working perfectly for me and most all of my guildies. The character creation issues we have personally noticed have either happened A: During high stress due to high traffic, i.e.; 7-10PM EST, or B: with your client graphical settings.
 
High traffic and stupid are things a developer cannot control. Be patient. They have just released this patch.
 
My two cents, it seems that the character creation process is being negatively effected by the high traffic.
 
I have made several characters on Entity during high traffic on several accounts to test this. I did 15 attempts on each account.
 
Results: A: 15 attempts, 0 success. B: 13 attempts, 3 successes, C: 11 attempts, 1 success. ( I then didn't care to attempt anymore.)

Oh god, is this still an issue? I WAS JOKING WHEN I SAID WAIT A WEEK OR TWO AND YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO PLAY :I
 
SO has shingles and I was hoping I could lift his spirits by rerolling something new on Wildstar, but I guess that's not going to happen. Again. He wanted to do it last night but I convinced him it wasn't worth even trying with all the issues.	
----
			I only colud create a character in PvP but not in PvE, north america servers	
----
			
I can confirm for the skeptical minds that this is still an issue. I have tried all day yesterday to create a character and only managed to get through once. Started trying again today and still no luck. Character gets stuck in limbo and no amount of closing and reloading the game seems to fix it.
 
On the bright side, I could create my character with my eyes closed now.

Hello,
 
Can't create a character.
Could I please get an update about this situation...
Very lovely coming back to this game so far...

			Maltheron, this is nonsense as ive been trying for 2 days solid to get passed character creation, not just at peak times, and as for graphical setting, ive tried pretty much every combo possable to no avail, here i am 2 days later still not able to get past pressing the enter game button and none the wiser to whats going on as ive seen no official up date on the situation in the last 48 hours...have tried all servers in both regions just to make sure and encounter the same issue on all of them....	
----
			Same for me, I have been trying to make a character since launch. Still trying this morning, still cant make one!	
----
			I have the same problem. It seems they won't be able to fix this anytime soon.

			dncndn, nope not true as ive tried to get in game on both pve and pvp servers in both regions and all of those attempts end with being stuck at the enter game screen with a tiny hour glass staring back at me...	
----
			Also having this issue unfortunately.	
----
			
So exactly as it was 24 hours ago, try to create a character, press "Enter Game" and just spins there with the hour glass.  Good to know the devs are hard at work /sarcasm

EDIT: . . . wonder why you've gone from 12 character slots to 8, guess that the server is so *cupcake*ing slow that you, a mere human, "created" 4 characters before it could even catch up.

			This is still happening... I just want to play the game. First it was a login problem, now this.

Ohhh, something just happened!
 
I was waiting for the character to create when I noticed that the screen wasn't frozen anymore. I hit enter game again only to be told a character with that name already exists. Went back to my character list and BAM! there he is in all of his glory.
 
WOOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!!
 
Dunno if this is a coincidence or action from the devs but in case of the later, thank you! <3	
----
			still cant create from f2p till now. i give up >.> fail f2p..	
----
			i just created a char finally	
----
			3rd day in around I've attempted to make a new character. I've tried both NA servers and both hang at the enter game button. Why don't you take creation offline until you can fix it. Its worse seeing it available only to have it fail for 3 days solid.

Creation on PVP server: took about 4 seconds, and the character was created without issue.
 
Creation on PVE server still does not work. Hangs indefinitely.
 
NA servers

			Pve/pvp no differ, after press create character, mech female char overlay sheep and nothing happens, graphics not freezed, but nothing changens and clickable.	
----
			Still no luck for me @Jabbit EU PvE	
----
			I'm in the same boat devs, cannot create a char on either EU server. Strangely enough it tells me that 1/2 character slots are used, but I cannot find it in either server. I guess my char exists but doesn't show up.Hopefully it will get fixed up soon. Wish you guys at Carbine the best of luck and thank you.​	
----
			Gee, I wonder why this horrible game went F2P when you can't even sign in and it's been out over a year?  What a joke NCSoft is.  First they get rid of City of Heroes, then replace it with terrible games.	
----
			
PVP server is fine.
 
PVE is still down.
 
NA servers.	
----
			
Attempting to create a character all day on the PVE realm (also tried the PVP realm a few times).No luck so far, gonna give it another few attempts then I'm gonna pack this in.
 
Probably isn't worth subbing anytime soon as I don't know if this is JUST F2P only or if everyone is getting this. 
Seems unfair to be ranting at the Devs, but it's still pretty rubbish on our end. 	
----
			
This doesn't appear to be a problem with character creation specifically as on the US server a Dominion character can be created without any issues, at least for me.  I have created some and deleted some, played etc no issues.  The problem only seems to be with creating an Exile character.   That gives the same result of just not doing anything when you click Enter Game after creating. 
Possibly a hidden que mechanic when creating a character in the larger ( from what I have been reading ) faction?
Or that the Exile starting areas are just too overpopulated compared to the Dominion side?	
----
			Hod (hourglass of death) now visibly alternating between the hod and the regular pointer but still nothing regarding the creation (EU-PVE). Will give it another 15 min and then try a game restart again..preparing to meet The Queue ... again

STILL cant create a char.....Been trying for 2 days ...  I subscribed too ... seems like that was a bit premature.  If i cant get in soon ( VERY SOON ) I will be canceling my subscription and chalking this up to a failed game.
 
I have ran the repair ... rebooted .... attempted on both PVP and PVE on both NA and EU servers ... Didn't this same bug happen on initial launch as well ??? 
 
So i let the char creation sit on the hourglass ... and it had the audacity to tell me it logged me out due to inactivity!!!!  WOW ......   so far this is ..... much less than a good experience.

Pretty much the same here. Character creation either doesn't load properly or sits and waits at the name generation screen. NA/PvE/Dominion.
I'm sure somebody will jump in here and say rawr!patience, but...

If i paid for a sub for this, i would probably charge back the payment and forget this game forever.
I mean those Signature accounts are supposed to have some advantages over free accounts, or not?
A disgrace by Ncsoft/Crabine.

			Well, I'm still unable to create character on EU-PVP server...

Tried a Dominion char this time on EU-PVE...same as before.

Still not lucky.
 
I'm not able to create a dominion character in EU Luminai, Jabbit either...

			When they can't even give a vague eta you know something has gone horribly, horribly wrong somewhere. Hell, at this point I'd wager they haven't figured out what's causing it yet. And since I do know some developers personally (not anyone here) I can guarantee more than a couple have been hyperventilating into paper bags, lol.

I have been trying to create a character on Entity, since 9pm PST the 28th.  Every time I tried, and the game froze with the hourglass, I killed the game via the Windows Task Manager.  Yesterday evening I sat in queue for an hour and a half, tried to create a character again, but let it sit with the hourglass until it finally popped up "Disconnected due to inactivity."  There was no UI to let me out of the game, but eventually the "Esc" key closed the game for me.  Later last night, around 10pm PST, I tried to create another character and it again stuck in hourglass, so I killed the game with Windows Task Manager.  Today, around 11:30am PST I logged in, the character is there, and I was able to load into the arkship.
 
Like many others, I purchased the game prior to the F2P launch and so this experience has been extremely discouraging.  It's also not very encouraging that the developers are now asking the players "What did you do to finally get a character?" suggesting that they aren't really very close to understanding why the problem is occurring.  Add this to the ongoing rumors (because I haven't been able to actually play the game to know) of lag issues.  Friends who have played the game over the last year and left because of lag issues have asked me if the lag problems have been resolved in the new F2P launch.  The reports on the forums of those issues only add to a growing lack of faith in Carbine to do what has been promised even prior to the F2P launch.
 
I believe the employees of Carbine are smart, talented people, and I genuinely hope they can find solutions to these issues.  I understand that it is difficult, and that it has been an ongoing process.  It can't be easy to suffer the vitriol coming at them, too, which can be just as discouraging as the unfavorable experiences the players are having.  So I can only hope, and send my best wishes that the folks at Carbine will continue to work hard and deliver what they have promised to deliver.  The same goes out to every player still struggling to enjoy the efforts that Carbine has put into the game.

			@Silversun17you may end up hitting the same thing me and some others have had - you'll be booted for inactivity. I'm just calling it quits here and play something else, was worth a shot trying to play this. I do have sympathy for the ones that paid for this and still got hit with the login wall.

			Unable to create a character on NA Entity Server and get it complete the finalization of loggin on to the server. It will let you complete creation but when you hit Enter Game it just sits there with the hour glass running. After about 15 minute it will drop you for inactivity?  How can I be active if I can't enter the game :(  Seems like a fun game. I really do hope they get the bugs fixed, but this is bad start and first impression of the game.

			I actually had something kind of weird happen.  I attempted to make a character on the PvE server, but it didn't work.  I killed the game and switched to PvP and back, and my character showed up and was created.  o_O	
----
			Sat until I was disconnected again. This time due to inactivity. How the hell does that work? Inactivity while it sits there with an hourglass. What exactly were you doing than game? Apparently nothing.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
no skin off my back if it does. also haven't some people mentioned getting their characters made after getting booted?

Carbine please give an update...
Aty least pretend you care... :ph34r:

			ANY information would be great  even if it was " We do not know whats causing the issue but we are working on it"

			Same as the first launch. Tons of upset people and poor communications. They have an entire communications team and the most we can hope for is a "we are working on it" update. How about some maintenance window logs on what is actually getting fixed so we can test it? And some explanation on how character creation can be broken for 3 days.	
----
			I was booted for inactivity, character was not created. this was my fourth or fifth attempt at character creation.	
----
			Just saw an announcement that they are bringing down the "megaserver" for maintenance.

Still no luck here, tried everything mentioned here and more...
 
Have been trying on both eu servers and both factions just in case but always getting locked out at the hour glass every time...have even tried changing regions with no sucsess...

{| class="blockquote"
where did you see this?
----
			Ive been trying to create a character for about 6 hours now. Im not even kidding. 6 hours to give this game a try... I even bought the boxed copy yesterday cause i was so excited -.-

			in the character creation top right it also states the megasever will be going down for a 30 min maintenance. hope it does something for this tbh.

{| class="blockquote"
Saw this on a Wildstar stream, looks like it's going down for 30 minutes.

{| class="blockquote"
no such thing as a perfect launch ;)
 
at least I can log on to my other characters....

Funny thing happened to me actually.. I made a new character on the Entity server, and went through the same issues of not being able to enter the game last night. I had to end the client's process so I could exit. I get on again to reattempt creating the character and he was already in the list. 
 
Thing is, I decided after a while to go for a different path so I deleted the character to try one more time. Now I can't seem to make him at all, or at least appear in the character selection, while I wait for the game to load him in. 	
----
			
Tried to create a character on NA-PVE realm and still does the hanging issue.
Some items that may help:
This is my 3rd character slot. (My first and second were already existing from before during my subscription)
I remade a character that I had made before. I do not want to post his name for someone to be a jerk and take it so let's just say it was John Smith.
 
So around 2 months ago I bought the game and enjoyed the 30 day trial.
I made 4 characters 2 Exiles and 2 Dominion.
My main Exile and Dominion characters were still there when you went FTP but my 2 Alts (Both 1st level and straight out of character creation) were gone.
1 of those alts was John Smith.
Now I am trying to recreate John Smith and the process is hanging.
I am also choosing the "Novice" entrance to the game.
 
You may want to see if somewhere along the line the validation of Names is trying to access names from a database location that is no longer in use, maybe one that contains the deleted characters when you went FtP.  You may also want to check if the validation is using an alias call or the IP directly. This has the strong feel of an external server call that is waiting for a response and not getting one. If it was a write permission you would likely be getting a quicker respone than this hanging.
 
Just a thought? Would be curious to know what it is.

			Still stuck with the HoD at character creation screen, nothing else happening on Jabbit EU server. Played Beta and that was amazing, just so sad that I can't play the F2P right now. Can't wait to get in and begin levelling all over again....

			I seem to be able to make characters right after a disconnect or right after the servers come back up. At least that's what I think is happening. I'm just giving the devs who watch this thread what happens to me.

I created 2 characters in the morning. Well, "created"- my game froze as soon as I clicked "Enter World" and no matter how long I waited it wouldn't let me into the game.
8h later I come back from work and my 1st character is created.
I got into the game. It's super laggy and I already died to a tiny trash mob that I normally kill in 2-3 hits because I couldn't hit it at all for good 2 minutes, but at least I can play. Kind of.	
----
			Seriously this issue is still not fixed? A char creation system that worked for months in P2P now suddenly broke and it takes you this long to fix it? Really?

			same here...... still cant make any character on PvP pr PvE (EU)

Funny thing, two of my four 'failed at creation' characters suddenly popped up in EU PVP server. The realm was showing zero available players, but on character selection i could see them both, and i could login fine with either.
I've deleted them both to see if the other two that failed to create suddenly pop up. Character creation, though, informs me that their names are already taken, so they have been 'created' but they do not appear in my character list.

not very good start for this game..

I guess you missed the part where they announced megaservers, then talked about them non-stop for months before they came out and also didn't bother to read the FAQ which also talks about megaservers. TBH, shard servers like the ones WoW runs are outdated and generally no longer used in MMOs as the current technology allows for large population single servers like the ones operating in Wildstar.

I just got into this game so I am going to be an avid swapping and recreating characters person. I guess I'll have to wait until this issue is resolved because I can't seem to try out on the class/race combos I want at this time.

...So this is what I got from this thread.
 
Fanboys- Our game is teh bestest. No MMO has ever had a smooth launch ever ( this is actually false---See Gw2 launch and f2p release, while they did have very very minor lag, you could still play the game), so accept this and be happy you can gaze upon our glorious login screen.
 
Everyone else- This should have been fixed a year ago when you had this problem the first time on an actual launch. 	
----
			
@Solori, Nah I'm a mix of them. Sure it sucks and maybe they should have fixed it before but yelling and cursing at the devs won't help it. 
 
Yes I waited a pretty damn long time for f2p but come on, waiting a few more days won't hurt. Better this then no update or help at all.	
----
			I hope they can figure this out quickly. Programming is a unique beast and it takes serious time to both figure out what the issue is (in the code) and than implementing a solution. As a person who has yet to play this game I am hoping for a quick solution, but I know it's not always possible.	
----
			Well there is gonna be an update in like 15 mins so maybe that will help.I'm trying to create a character since day 1 of f2p and still no luck -.-If this isn't fixed soon I'm just gonna move on and I think I won't be the only one	
----
			
I just create not one but two Characters without a problem.
 
I recorded the second one to show it is working. Once it's finished processing I will share.
 
Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cElHPAZJO5c
 
I hit escape during video (slight pause) to get through it quickly BTW.

My experience yesterday (Wednesday), when I tried to make a character.  I would finish it, but it would NEVER go directly to entering the game.  I always got the never ending hourglass after clicking enter game for the Entity server.  However, if I came back into the game after killing it, I did see my created lvl 1 character in my list.  The exception to this was during peak hours, nothing helped the character show up on the list during the times I was trying to play, 8 pm PDT to 11:30 pm PDT.  However, after that time, all my created characters would show up on the list.
 
So I guess everyone can give that a shot and see if they can make one and have it there when they come back in at a later time.  Dare I say wake up at 3 am, make a toon and go back to bed and hopefully it will be there when you have time to play later that day.	
----
			Still not working, 53 hours and counting. Have tried leaving the hourglass on for up to an hour, have come back later, none of it ever helped.

I'm able to create a character and watch the intro video after you click "Enter Game" from the character selection screen, but then it just shows a loading screen that says "Off World". The load bar fills completely and it seems like it's about to load me in, but then it just spits me back out to the character select screen. My character is saved, but trying to click "Enter Game" again just shows the same loading screen and spits me back to character select again. Doesn't seem like there's any option to just wait it out, should I continue trying the same thing over and over?
