I still dont get why when I move severs, my character gets switched. WT_F! How can I stop this? How can I know before I switch servers if this will happen? Do I have 1,2,or 3 avatars? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥,n it....

You have:
1 character for all official 1st person servers.
1 character for all official 3rd person servers.
Then every community server has 1 character each.

It's also possible that some community servers allow multiple characters on one server too.

So as long as you join the same exact community server, or either type of the official servers, you'll spawn in with your old saved avatar.

Ya it had me scratching my head at first too mates when I first started playing. There is an upside to it though. It makes transferring to another server easy, peezy, lemon squeezy. lol What annoyed me personally was the first time I took time and made a toon I actually liked from the selection then died and got stuck in world with a random female toon. lol I was like well dang you all could have kept that character selection crap then for all it's worth. lol Now half the time if I make a fresh toon I just click something and off I go. lol

Wait, so if I have a character on a 3rd person server then click 'change server' but select a 1st person server (when I have a char already on a 1st person server) then my 1st person server char will move server and spawn instead of my 3rd person server char?

That explains a LOT.

As soon as you understand that DZ servers are clustered in Hives, it WILL explain a lot:

For the Vanilla game you can have up to three different Chars:
1 - Official runs on it's own Hive in two Clusters 1pp and 3pp, one Char for each Cluster.
2 - Community Public runs on another Hive, you have a third Char there. These servers can be rented and managed by private individuals, while others are Official servers that were moved from the Official Hive to the Community Hive in 2019. Public server renters can switch between 1pp and 3pp without affecting the Char on that Hive.
3 - Community Modded: you have one Char for every server you play on, so the number of Chars you have on this Hive can be many.

Contrary to what Sams posted, it is not possible to have more than one Char per Steam Account, per server.

I play official servers. How can you tell if its going to be 1pp or 3pp before you enter it?

It is usually in the server description included within the launcher.
