We have been told that our site is a little confusing. We apologize. So, until we fix it, this is a quick post on everything you need to know. Oh, and remember that if you have any questions, email or PM an admin. I am most easily reached through AIM, MSN or email, though I do PM.
First, you need to actually join the forums. When on the site as a Guest, the top of the screen should say something like "Welcome, Guest...blah blah blah". Anyways, click Register, and follow the directions. You should then receive an email containing your funky password. Sign in.
Now, at the top, while signed in, there should be a button that says Profile. Click it and then go to where it says password. Change it to something you can remember. You can change a lot of other options here also. The visible name can be made to say something else besides your username. This will eventually have to be changed to your character's name. If you have decided your char's name at this point, change it. If not, wait until you have made your character.
Now that you have an account, you can make a character. Go to the Character Creation page to make your character. The form is on that page, but to make it easier, here it is:
Name: (your REAL NAME, though not necessary)
Character Name: (ex: Ralhorn of Goldenlake)
Age: (character age)
Weapon of Choice: (Starter weapon--Create yourself a unique weapon.)
Job: (preferably Adventurer)
Race: (ex: Human, Moragna Vrr, Dark elf [races are at the bottom of rules and help])
Description: (Describe your character.)
At this time, go to Profile and change your visible name to you character's name, if you haven't already done that. Here are the Races and Classes, just in case.

Jobs/Classes
Okay, now you’re set. Your profile will be up ASAP. To check this (contains your Inventory, Exp, Gold, etc.) go to the main page, and then go to Character Profiles. The first thing that should be done, is you should read the boards. Check the Rules & Information and Help pages, and just read the posts. Visit the locations around Gal’Riiah, and discover the area. Really get a feel for this game. Remember, you can do quests at the pub, but there are places to explore. Just post your exploits. To join a clan, contact the Guild Master. The area is in the pub. Have fun. Again, if you have any questions, or comments, feel free to contact me or another Administrator.
