Getting started

Create your account

One account name and one password. It is created on the realm itself, and it is the same name and password you type into the game client.

Checking whether signups are open…

If this message does not change in a moment, fill the form in anyway — the server has the final say and will tell you plainly if it cannot create the account.

Read this first — the client is strict

  • 16 characters maximum for the account name and for the password. The 3.3.5a client cannot send more than that and cuts a longer password short without saying so, which would lock you out of your own account.
  • Capitals do not matter. The game's login box upper-cases both boxes before it sends them, so Bobby, BOBBY and bobby are one account, and the password is case-insensitive too.
  • Account name: 3 to 16 characters, letters, digits and underscore only.
  • Password: 8 to 16 characters, ordinary keyboard characters. Pick one you do not use anywhere else — a 16-character case-insensitive password is not a strong one, and that is the client's limit, not a choice made here.
3–16 characters: letters, digits and underscore. This is what you type into the game.
8–16 characters. Capitals are ignored by the game client.
No email address is asked for and none is stored.
