Creating a Character

See Character Creation for information on this topic.

Deleting a Character

Click the character slot you no longer want and press delete. Enter the word "delete" to confirm in the dialog box that appears.

Restoring a Character

Deleted characters may be restored up to the hour time-limit by clicking the deleted slot and then pressing the restore button. However, the deleted character will lose its Allegiance information and you cannot restore a deleted character whose name has been taken by another character. Until the other character is deleted, the deleted character with that name cannot be restored.

Note: "Character Restoration may not be successful"

Login Screen Artwork

Between 2003 and 2005, the login screen was updated for the A Time of Chaos story arc and the different seasons that came after. During these times, the screen received updated backgrounds, color schemes and rollover images for the enter game button.
