**The following post is NOT about the character that shows up as my avatar. This happened while on a completely different character that is on a different server and different data center.
Earlier this morning I was attempting to accept a FC invite, and received the error "Unable to join company".
I searched for reasons why this would happen, & I from what I can tell... none of the reasons I've found so far would apply to me....
-**I'm not already in a FC.
-I have not submitted an application to join any FC/no outstanding application(s).
-I was not viewing a cutscene/cinematic.
-I am not on a trial account.
-I was not in a dungeon/trial/duty...etc etc.
-I was not AFK.
**= I have another character, on another server, that is part of a different data center... he is in a FC. I did not find anything that would suggest one can NOT have an alt in a FC (regardless of server/dc)... only that "a character can only be in one FC at a time".
Here's the chain of events, sadly I can not include the exact times, because this happened this morning and.... well, I submitted a "bug report", thinking that it was like submitting a "gm ticket" requesting support... ooops... (but the times can be found in that, should a GM care to look it up, was around 8:45am EDT, June 24.)
Anywho:
-Invite received
-I clicked on the notification thingy to view company details
-I alt-tabbed to my browser to look up said company standing on the official website
-I alt-tabbed back into the game, closed any windows in game...
-clicked on the notification thingy (technical terminology at its finest right there! )
-attempted to accept the invitation (with roughly 100 seconds still remaining)
-ERROR popped up.
-attempted to accept again, and again, then 3 or 4 more times...
-Invite from ~insertnamehere~ cancelled. (the time ran out).
-the sending player was still online, was the FC owner.
That is about as best as I can describe it all.... not sure what else to do. I'm going to laugh my rear off if it's because I have "a" character on a different server/data center that is in a FC... as if to say "1 FC per ACCOUNT"... that's would be... stupid.
Okie dokie... for now I suppose...
Thank you!
