Hi! I havent been able to find any answer on my question so im trying here. I started playing 2016 but have had long breaks and quit each time cos I didnt find any guild i really clicked with. Now i have a couple of friends who are interested in playing BDO but when i logged in my family score is 375ish so I cant play on the newbie servers. Tho it was years since i played so i forgot too much to continue on an ordinary server. My question is; should i delete some of my earlier characters to get my family score down? Can i then play on the same server as a completely new person? The game said i would only be able to play on the olvia server until july 8 and thats not enough time for my friends who might start now. Is it possible for me to play with them at all? Any advice is appreciated:):) Thanks in advance!

They don't have to play on the newbie servers. You can play with them on "normal" Season servers, if you all have season chars.

Oh... thanks, but what´s the point with Season servers then? Will they still be able to graduate and get more xp?

The Novice servers are only for completely new players, and aim at shielding them from toxicity from veterans or from overcrowded season servers when things like new class releases happen. They have no other advantages or anything, it is simply a way for newbies to avoid getting in contact with older players.

The normal season servers have all the same advantages like buffs, lack of open world pvp, seasonal drops etc. It will be the easiest for you to simply make a seasonal character, and then meet your friend on for example the Season3 server. That way they get the faster progression while also being able to play with you. And if you need your main character to help them out with something, you can simply swap to a normal server for the time.
