I'm trying to find my son in-game so that we can "friend" each other. Our computers are side-by-side, and even though we are in the exact same place, we don't see each other. For example, we tried to meet by Prospector Zeke, and not only did we not see each other, but we each saw totally different people on our screen.
Are there different servers and, if so, how do we get on the same server so we can actually play together?
Wizard101 has several Realms for our players to enjoy. All the Realms are identical so if you're in the Greyrose Realm and your friend is in the Wu Realm, you can be standing in exactly the same place and not see each other.
There are two ways to find your friend. 1. Agree on a Realm to meet in before you log in. You can switch between Realms easily when you're not in a duel. Simply press Esc and select the very last top on the tab with the above icon - and you will see a list of Realms to choose from.
CTRL - M is the shortcut key to bring up this section of your journal.
2. Since you know this person in real life outside the game, you can give then a True Friend Code - this will allow you to teleport directly to each others location. To learn about True Friend codes, please visit this page: https://www.wizard101.com/game/truefriendcode
