I've got a friend that just bought the game, and we're trying to get a character made on the server that I'm on (Hyperion). So, what determines if a server is open or not? Is it updated manually or automatically? If I delete the character that was made a couple days ago for them to mess around with, will the server magically open up for us, or do we have to wait for someone to run their checks and open it?

Thanks.
