Doesn’t just lock you out for jumping servers it’s a bug the whole games bugged bring back the preview

They just released a counter measure for this in the new update. If you continuously switch servers you will get "locked in database" for up to an hour. Luckily it isn't working right and they are locked indefinitely or until they wipe their character and restart. Unfortunately it isn't working right and people are being locked after resets and crashes.

Reinstall the game. They work for everyone else lol.

Almost seems as if they don't care. This could have been fixed years ago on PC, but not a single attempt has been made.

It only locks you out if you join and leave lobbies in a short period of time. There is a solution to the problem. The solution is don't switch servers. Stay on one until it resets and then rejoin it. If you hop servers you run the risk of being locked.

Go on their Twitter. They tweeted an email to send your character ID to and they will kill your character and free it from the database. Just don't hop servers or log in and out frequently. It's a new system to stop duping and server hopping but it isn't working properly and it is locking people out permanently and corrupting the characters.
