Welcome new member! You've registered and now you want to know how to get started playing the game!
Now would be a good time to check out the Cast List if you haven't already. Look it over to see who's already taken and who's available. You may also decide at this point that you'd like to create your own character.
Display Name
Once you have decided on which character you will be playing you will need to change your display name to the name of your character. You can do this by clicking on the Profile button at the top of the screen. Click on "Modify Profile" and under Account Information it will let you enter in a new display name. Your username will NOT be changed, and you will still use this information to log in, but your character name will be displayed for others to see on the board. Once you have entered in your character name, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "modify profile".
You may have noticed some member's display names are in different colors. This is based on the color that you post in. If you would like to personalize your posts by regularly posting in another color, we will use that color to change the color of your display name for you.
