you waited for people to be in the server to join? that was a big mistake, wait for the server to connect with the hive or you got a new char. you can join a server right after serverstart but you will be in the lobby not on the server. this issue is already hundred time in the feedback tracker and a known issue.

and how can i know when the server is connected with the hive?

wait a bit longer, if the servertime is normal and not 24h, wait until it is XX:01.

If you see "Wait for Host" disconnect asap. If you see at the left bottom corner

123

test

you got a new char, disconnect asap, try a different server and go back. with some luck you got your old one back.

Why is this a continuing to be a known issue? Y'all are getting a really bad rap in the gaming community due to this, alpha or not. Do you know that? I'm certainly not going to purchase any BI game again aaaany time soon.

Fix this or enjoy going out of business before you can even launch the friggen game.
