Issues With The Friends List

Another major reason that might cause you issues in selecting to join the new world is the issues with the friend list.

The friend list can sometimes become corrupted when you add too many fake accounts.

A saturated friend list can also become the reason for the issues in the friend list.

If your friend list has any issues, the game won’t let you enter any new server that your friend creates.

The only way to fix the issues is by filtering your friend list.

It is better to remove friends you don’t know or avoid playing with.

Also, make sure to check out different fake accounts that have no identity in your friend list and remove them.

We highly recommend re-adding your friend with whom you are facing issues.

Take the following steps to do this.

Login to your account and create a Single World game.

Access the list of friends by typing /friends in the chat.

Scroll the list and find out the friend you want to remove.

Type /friend remove friend name and press enter. (Friend name refers to the name of the friend you want to remove.)

Go back to the home page of the game and launch the game. Don’t launch the New World yet.

Click the Friends Tab.

Tap Add New Friend.

Search for your friend by using the Gamer Tag.

Confirm the addition once you find them.

The steps for removing or adding other friends are also the same.
