Starting the game
[OLD GUIDE COPY]
Choosing a server group
There are two server groups for you to choose - Initus and Horizon. Each of them contains six subservers, which is the maximum allowed because of the way the server hardware is set up.
You may play on one of the two server groups or both of them! The only restriction is this that you cannot move characters between server groups. So, for example, if you create a character on the Horizon you may not play on the Initus with that same character. You may, however, take that character to any one of the six subservers under the Horizon server group. Once a character is created on a server group, it may access and move freely between all of the subservers in that group at any time you choose.
For each servers:
You are allowed to have up to four to eight characters on one server group. The four character slots are default. To create more characters you will have to use Character Slot Expansion Card. After logging in and choosing your server group and subserver, you will be taken to your character loading screen. There, all the characters you have on that particular group will be displayed and you can choose one to play for that gaming session. To change to a different character, subserver, or server group, you must log out and back in again.

Creating a character
After you have logged in and chosen a server group as well as a server, you will be taken to your character loading screen. Your account can hold up to eight different characters on one server group, which means you can have up to fourty-eight characters total. To create a character, click the "Create" button that is on the lower border of your character loading screen.
You will be taken to a battlefield where an assortment of different creatures are currently engaged in a battle. In the middle of the field is a camp where the eight characters classes you can choose from are standing in a semi-circle. Each class has a short description about its abilities displayed in the top right corner. You can customize the face and hairstyle of your character using the arrow keys on the options below the descriptions. Each class has five face options and five hair options, giving you a total of twenty-five appearances to choose from. At this time skin color, body shape, and gender may not be changed.
