Hmmm... I know we had this issue with one of our friends and I myself were checking to see when I could create a new character on hyperinflation and time I found I could was around 8am on Saturday or Sunday morning. I know it socks. I wish they would remove some of the people on our server who are longer active and don't even have a subscription to the game anymore. I know several but their characters are still showing up on my friends list which I would assume means their characters are still registered on hyperion. I don't if that would alleviate this nonsense of new friends not being able to get on the same server.
