i just created some new generals

make sure you have many connections... maybe even open ports -- (it may make it easier to create until we fix) - also wait at least 10 mins.. you need a few blocks before your general will appear, and when blocks are slow, this can take a while, 10+ minutes..

2 to 4 generals being created per min

for those that are having problems, and  really want to get in the world - keep persisting - blocks are not so fast at the moment, you are not getting left behind


you can transfer characters to a fresh wallet or something if "black names" are an issue for some of you

8 connections means you have not opened ports.. try to get 50 (as a temporary test method)
