How many characters can be used

[SMGSterlin]

To create more charactes - just create new user on your pc and run Freelancer under this user.

use "runas" command

That question got solved, and using multiple computer accounts is completely unnecessary to have more than 5 characters.


Regarding your connection problem, I have a similar problem. Sometimes the server won't show (when it's online, and I know because others will be able to see it) for me as well, but sometimes if I wait a couple minutes, the server will magically appear in the list.

There's also some extension you can put on the target of your Discovery desktop shortcut that lets you connect to any specific server instantly, if I remember correctly. That would in theory fix your problem as well, but details on that I'm not sure of, it would require some digging.
