is this happening on every city you visit? - sometimes I've seen this happen when someone is in the same city helping at the same time. going back a few minutes later will let you assist the builder, culture or main hall.

the other times I've seen this is with new cities that have the main hall in construction (upgrading), with no culture items to click, and the builder is already full. if that's the case all we can do is move on to the next city and hope it's not in the same situation. one day, i'm hopeful they will be removed on the 30, and not so much on the +.

You can only help cities that you have "discovered". This may be the problem. You "discover" neighbors by scouting over to them. Then on your world map, your "discovered" neighbors will show up in green next to your city. Just because someone has "discovered" you, doesn't mean you have "discovered" them. It will take time and scouting and clearing provinces by fighting and negotiating to get more neighbors.

Alternatively, once you join a fellowship, then you are automatically eligible to help all the players within your fellowship. You can join a fellowship that is looking for members or start your own and try to get others to join you.

You are brand new and finding the right fit in a fellowship is a little tough. If you go down the forum list you will see a forum for Arendyll, and under that, there are places where you can place notices that you are looking for a fellowship or look for fellowships that are looking for new members. It is tough when you are brand new because you don't have a trader yet and so you don't have goods you can trade. But, there might be brand new folks who just want a fellowship so they can get the bonuses for giving neighborly help. Or again, you can start your own fellowship! Then you can invite other brand new folks to join you and you can all grow together. There is a limit of only 25 people allowed in a fellowship, so it is very hard to find just the right perfect fit of people. But you will! I know you will! :)

The fact that you are upgrading your hall won't affect your ability to help others. The only time that comes into play is if some neighbor of yours quit the game when they were upgrading their hall and then no one can ever help them.

I looked around your world map and you should be able to help neighbors Midever, and Uttert, and Hanka and Kat and whoever else you have discovered. You can only help them once in every 24 hours so that could be the problem too. If you are trying before the 24 hours are up the little hand will be greyed out.

Try hovering your mouse over the greyed out hand and that should tell you why you can't help a certain person. Either it will say that you have to wait a certain amount of time until the 24 hours are up, or it will say you can't help neighbors you haven't discovered yet, and then that is the issue. If it is something else, post it here.

If you aren't able to help those neighbors who are next to you and you haven't visited them in 24 hours, then it could be a bug. But let's see what message you get first.

I have the same problem with one city I've discovered I am unable to help as well and have gone back several times to check, n case it was just a glitch and just checked again. Clicked the hands and no icon over the main hall. This main hall is a level 2

Are you sure the main hall isn't being upgraded? You can't boost a main hall that's under construction.

I have one city on my map that has no cultural buildings, the builder boosts are full, and the main hall is under construction because the player quit months ago. I can't get any coins from that city at all.

The difference between the worlds is just a matter of when they opened. Each has exactly the same game to play but older worlds have more established players. The order in which the worlds launched was Arendyll, Winyandor, Fel, and Khel. When a new world launches all the new player traffic is directed to that world and after a point that stops and new players are rotated into all the worlds (I believe but can't verify this).
In my experience I find I can offer more support to newer players in the more established cities because I'm already stocked up on goods. You may be finding the same from the other side. This game doesn't have a PvP component so there's not much downside to having highly developed neighbors. And the players who stay generally like to help out when they can. I know when I joined a helpful neighbor who was well established kept me going by taking up all my trades while paying the trader fee. She was like a guardian angel and kept me afloat before fellowships were an option (shout out to mama bear Eldakin).

Greyed out hands usualy means you havent unlocked them on the world map yet by fighting/negotiating your way to them. If that's not the case you would want to add this to the "Bugs" thread.
