Help! I can't find my friend in Ascalon... - Guild Wars Forums

Sheriff Bullock · Apr 15, 2005, 04:31 PM // 16:31

I just started playing Guild Wars. Last night I found my friend online in Ascalon, but this afternoon I'm unable to locate her.

We're both in pre-searing Ascalon, agreed to meet at the steps across from the gate to the lake country (?) and yet we can't see each other.

We can still communicate by whisper. I'll say: "I'm right by the town cryer!" and she'll say: "So am I!" (And we're both pretty fustrated by this.)

Any advice?

Are you in the same district?

also do both of you have the same updates?

log out log back in and see if files download for 1 or both of you

wisper meet me in district xx

Sheriff Bullock · Apr 15, 2005, 04:37 PM // 16:37

Yes, same district. And we've both exited and started the game so many times, I'm sure we've got whatever the current version is.

sorry

i was hoping you had something simple

how about moving to a new area such as the abbey?

also if that doesnt work both of you hit /bug while standing at the *same* spot and send in a bug report on that

thank you

Maby you are each on different worlds. If one of you says european and the other american you can either switch in the character select screen or meet in the international districts to find each other.

Sheriff Bullock · Apr 15, 2005, 04:56 PM // 16:56

We couldn't find each other at the abbey either.

I submitted a bug report.

This is really disappointing because my friend and I were hoping to game together this weekend.

where are the international districts?

Should be listed with the other Districts. Check the complete dropdown list.

Sheriff Bullock · Apr 15, 2005, 05:55 PM // 17:55

Okay. I found her in the international district. This means she's on the European territory?

ask her which one she is on

Aladdar · Apr 15, 2005, 06:23 PM // 18:23

yep, quite possibly on different worlds.
If one of you chose the wrong world you can change it in one of the screens, although I'm unsure where it is as I haven't logged into the new builds yet.

Gogeta Krillin · Apr 15, 2005, 06:38 PM // 18:38

wait a minute.
i thought there where no servers or nething like that.
its supposed to be seamless, not having to switch just to find a friend.
u r supposed to be able to meet ne one newhere

THEY DID meet
and they were able to get together
you do have to find each other but that is not the same as permanent separate shards is it?

Sheriff Bullock · Apr 16, 2005, 01:35 AM // 01:35

She says she's on America and so I am.

It would be convenient if we could find each other in the Home Districts since that's where the most people are--and where we're likely to find people speaking English.

We didn't have this problem last night. Strange that it's happening today.

You have the wrong idea mate

Separate servers is like City of Heroes among others, where once you join a server you can never talk pm visit see anyone from a different server, and the same character name can exist on every separate server. There is no server crossing, period. Here, you can change "districts" which are instances of the same town (or where-ever), which is used to combat a various amount of bad stuff not to be named here. All you have to do is change to a different district on the same server and bam you are with whoever is in there. It's not seamless but in a sense, instanced.
