Disturbing Errors:I GIve UpFollow

#1 Nov 13 2004 at 5:31 AM Rating: Decent
Well, I started playing my WoW beta today for about an hour, but then I got disconnected, no big deal, log back in, disconnected again...this went on for about 5 times, then I got a error message when I tried to log my char in "A character with this name already exist." Now I'm just plain confuzed, I played for an hour with no prob and NOW I GET THIS!? After this error it kicked me back to the log in screen, and then when I tried to log in again...says what I'm entering isn't valid, password or user named spelt wrong, forgot something, ect...I've been tryin this for about 2 hours, logging in. I am typing my info PERFECTLY, but it won't let me in! I keep gettin this same error over and over...

what's going on!? ; ;

Servers are pretty bad right now(depending on which server, since I play on a few, and some are less laggy than others.). What this does is add to the downtime of waiting to log in. What happens is that the servers have so many people connected/trying to connect that they just can't handle the stress. So when you try and log in, it dies on your, and after a while it will show your character as logged in, but you will actually be sitting there stressing.

Don't worry, no ones stolen your name, you just have to wait a little bit because theres probably something going no with the server at that moment(I doubt the lag would cause that much problems, although it could happen. Most probably its a server restart and the servers are still a little wonky.)

it's been doing this for 5 hours now, I get the responce that my info is invalid and if Lost my password or user name to go to thw web site...if what you say is true, then instead of just saying "server is full" or something they throw that at me? That's just retarded...

It wont tell you your information is wrong unless its wrong. In all the times I've been disconnected while trying to log on, it wont tell you your information is wrong because theres a problem with the server.

Also to note, it is impossible to do such a thing because you are not stappled to that one server, if it is down you can still choose a different one.

just check your information again if thats the error message your getting, I was under the impression you were just getting "disconnected from server"s or "character name already exist"s or other assorted server problems.

Check your account name/password again, because thats the problem.

This is why it's disturbing, I did check it, entered it correctly (several times, and yes I did it 100% correct) and it still does this...what's going on? ; ; is there any chance this is being caused by the same reason people are getting unable to log on messages? Just way too many accounts?

Checked your password through blizzard and everything? look into everything you can, if nothing works and it continues to do this, you might want to start talking to some people who might have access to your acount, but its unlikely...

The server will sometimes tell you your info is wrong if there's stability issues. I'm not sure if it's an intended effect, or if the log-in server just can't find the database to reference your name to, but it does happen.

As for the "character with that name already exists," that's the equivalent of an Everquest 1018. Your character just hasn't been world-booted yet. The earlier discons apparently enough time had gone by in-between, or maybe you crashed for a different reason.
