Creating Your First Character
Submitted by tolzan on Sun, 02/01/2009 - 10:53am
There are a couple steps in creating your first character, you need to select your server, pick a side, and most importantly pick the class you want to play!
Server Selection
There are 3 server types currently:
- Core - You are flagged PvP only in RvR.
- Role-playing (RP) - Players are encouraged to roleplay their character, these servers usually have a more mature base.
- Open Realm vs Realm - PvP flagged in all zones, players are only safe for their first few levels and in RvR you can enter at a higher level without being turned into a chicken.
Picking A Side

Do you want be on the Evil Side? Select Destruction.
