Just bought the game, unable to create a character on friend's realm.

I'm more wondering why your friend didn't warn you. Character restrictions are updated often enough (like every couple of days), surely he or she knew the possibilities of not being able to play on the same server.

If you have characters already on a server you wouldn't really need to keep up to date with what servers are available since you know.... he already rolled there. I had no idea this system was even in use until I created my character and at no point was I forewarned or was this made clear or explained to me by SE. I think it's a pretty daft system, I know there were issues with queues way back at launch but I don't see why they wouldn't just implement that now...

If I know a friend is buying the game to play with me since you know... thats the reason he bought it. I would keep track if the server is full and everything related since is logical if a server is full, is posible that my friend would not be able to create a character there.
