Create RP characters first if you're on Oceanic servers

Players connecting to Australian-based servers in the Oceanic region have hit a bug during character creation. Create a character on the Normal or PvP ruleset first, and the Roleplay and Roleplay-PvP rulesets stop showing up as options for any character you make after that.

The workaround: create your Roleplay or Roleplay-PvP characters before you create any Normal or PvP ones. Blizzard says the issue is limited to Oceanic players on Australian servers and that a fix is in the works.

This lands in the middle of Early Name Reservation, which runs through November 3 and gives you three character slots in total. Getting the order wrong could cost you the Roleplay name you wanted.

Why it matters: if you’re in Oceania and want a Roleplay character, make it before anything else during Name Reservation.
