Where's everyone?

Floors are empty unless there's an event going on.

Waiting and waiting for a full group...


Worst off all... Wife and friends are also in empty instances. All 4 of us are waiting in empty floors.


Can we merge some instances so there's people again?

    You can try finding each other in a fortress so that you have a team @Caeleon. One person sits in a ruins lobby and "beacons", and the others hop in and out until they find your little gold friend token.


    Someone estimated 56 different knight buses, which seems a lot. Like you, I find that a lot tend to be empty, with just ruins or D5 full.

    Does that work @Magpie31 ?

    @Li11ee It does work, but it'll take some time and patience to find each other. Can take some minutes of hopping on and off for one player while the other is sitting in the lobby with placed runestone watching the counter ticking down and restarting countdown at given time.

    @Li11ee It does work and my friends and I use it almost daily. But there is a lot of luck at play. Some days, it takes 5 mins to find each other, most about 15, and some it will take 40 mins. Voice chat is great because you can natter with each other while you do it.

    @Magpie31 is the gold friend token an automatic feature or does it need to be enabled or something? I have never seen any friend tokens in hogwarts fortresses, and i have about 20 "friends".

    @RabbeinuTam the gold token is an automatic feature. If you happen to be in the same Knight Bus fortress as a player on your friend list and that friend is in the waiting area of a chamber that isn’t full, you should see the friend icon.

    It’s great for coordinated play as it helps when searching for friends on the Knight bus, but coming across the token randomly on the Knight bus is a lot rarer. It can happen of course, but it is rare.

    I see there are lists of friend codes on the forum, but they all seem to be from half a year+ ago, so i don't know how many of them are still active. Is this a newer list?

    @RabbeinuTam I have around 20 as well, and have only accidentally come across one twice (and I play on the bus a LOT).
