Anyone else can't create a character? (error creating character)

[christhebey]

As title says, anyone else having this problem?

I've tried the most stupid random names and many class/race combos but still same error message.

I have same problem, it seems some kind of glitch or maybe even system that prevents too many characters to be done at same moment. Just wait and keep trying. Relogging to your account seems to help (perhaps, probably nothing to do with it?)

Hello. I have a problem. I can't create a drainer character I don't know why but I can create a gnome... it says " Error creating character " . I am seeing this for the first time ever.

This problem actually is related to WOD models. This needs FIX asap.

If you are using the WoD model patch try changing the facial/hair features.

It works if I use the random generator thing. It brings me the "setup" that works. Picking stuff myself wont work.

[christhebey]

it's to do with teh display of your character, try changing hair/face or eyes, worked for me!

I don't think that this could be fixed. Well, it can be fixed for players with wod models, but then need to send some default hair data to player with wotlk clients, otherwise they could have client crash. So, use generator and then barber or try to find old hair data.

I keep getting this message after deciding to create another character since apparently 90% of the realm plays paladins.

What gives?

Happens to WoD models clients sometimes, change the appearence of your character.

I have both Wotlk clients just create your char on old wotlk and play it with Wod model client its so simple :)

I am using normal client and I am getting a error ' You already have the maximum number of characters allowed on this account? I have one character slot left and still I don't know why this is happening. Also lost some of my character names due to this.

I`m pretty certain that the WotLK client`s got a failsafe like that already. I`ve messed around with dbcedits in the pasts which actually allowed me to have some invalid hairstyle and stuff set, and these didn`t crash anyone`s client. It might`ve been something serverside, tho.

Yes, this is server-side check.

For example there is list of possible hair variation in wotlk: HairType1,HairType2,HairType3. In wod there are more types: HairType4, HairType5. You select HairType4 and trying to create character so your client sent opcode to server with selected data, include hair type. Server check opcode and see HairType4. But server has check for all available hair types and HairType4 not in that list, so instead of char creation server return error message to you. There are two ways to fix it: add HairType4 and HairType5 to server check list and send this data to all clients, include wotlk which is unsafe or add that types but send instead of them HairType1 for example to all clients except yours so this would be safe for another players. Personally i don't like any of that ways, you just can use any of HairType1-HairType3 and no problems.
