Your character is probably bugged. With luck 1 out of 7 GMs know how to fix it.

Should of put this in the faction section, but log in on all your chars on every shard and make sure none of them are in a faction :)

oh sorry, new to factions

in fact so new i am already in one, impossible but true as no chars are in a faction as i have never joined one :)

sorry for misplacing sure a mod (PETRA!!!) will move

i am on her radar!!! sur ei am on "speed dial" every time i post an alarm goes off on her comp :) *grins*

[wee papa smurf]

hehe, well as flutter said your char must be bugged, have you tried joining on another char?

[Viper09]

Hmm, you don't happen to be in a guild on that character, aye?

Know you can't join if you're guilded, with exception of being a guild GM. At least I think that's the case.

[jack flash uk]

nope this is a new char!

[Viper09]

nope this is a new char!

Oooohhh. Brand new character.

...do characters have to be a certain age to join or have a certain amount of skill points?

Also this isn't a trial account you're trying on is it?

ok to say brand new was a bit of a lie, he is about 2 years old, but not well used, good skills etc so not shiny new :) but def not guilded or in a faction so bugged

got a nice can from the help option, as expected, sadly in a year and a half away nothing improved :(

Well then keep bugging them. Hopefully they can't ignore you forever :p
Be as specific as possible with the pages.

On the shard where the character you want to put in factions is located, log on to EVERY character on that account and that shard. With each one, say "What is my faction term status."

If the character is NOT in a faction, there will be no system response. However, if the character does belong to a faction, you will get either a response of "You are not in the process of quitting the faction" or a length of time in days/hours until the character will no longer belong to a faction. If you find a character that gives you one of these responses, there are three ways you can determine which faction the character is in:

(1) Take the character to Fel and mouse over him/her. You will see the character's faction title and faction name and abbreviation (i.e., character name followed by faction abbreviation and guild tag in their own sets of brackets on the first line, and faction title and faction name on the second line).

(2) Look up the character on www.uo.com using the character search application. In the upper left corner of the screen with the picture of the character will be an icon that represents the faction the character belongs to. If you haven't logged in on the character within the last 90 days, however, you won't find them with the character search application.

(3) Click on the Guild button. If the character belongs to a guild, the first screen of the guild menu will show which faction the guild belongs to.

On any particular shard, your characters on a specific account can only belong to ONE faction. You can, however, have characters on one account belong to different factions, as long as the characters that are in opposing factions are on different shards. For example, on GL some or all of your characters on an account might be in TB but on Atlantic some or all of you characters on the same account might be in Minax.

It takes three days for a character to leave a faction. If the character belongs to a faction guild but is not the guild leader, the character must resign from the guild and then go to the faction stronghold and use the stone in the sigil room to quit the faction. (If a guild leader quits the faction while still the leader of a guild, every member in the guild will enter the faction quit process.) While the character is in the process of quitting, it cannot steal or carry sigils. I'm not sure whether it can earn kill points either. I believe it will give up kill points if defeated by an enemy faction character, however, and I believe it can use the honor function to transfer kill points to another character in the faction. As noted above, say, "What is my faction term status" to find out when the character should be out of the faction.
