Everything you need for your first evening in Nareth.

Before you set out

Three steps to adventure

One account logs you in to both the website and the game.

  1. Create an account

    Pick a username (4–16 lowercase letters or numbers) and a strong password. Write down your 7-digit delete code too.

    Sign up
  2. Download

    Download and install the client from the Download page.

    Download
  3. Log in

    In the game you log in with the same username and password as on the website.

First choice

Choose a faction

Three peoples, three stories – all of them equal.

Your faction decides whose side you fight on against the Ash King – and which secret you draw closer to. Playing with friends? Pick the same one!

Tips for your first hours

  • Follow the quests

    Quests guide you through the starting regions and give you your first gear.

  • Join a guild

    It's easier together. Follow the guilds on the guild rankings.

  • Protect your account

    Never give your password to anyone – GMs will never ask for it. You can change it on the My Account page.

  • Keep your delete code safe

    The 7-digit code confirms deleting a character in the game. Write it down somewhere safe!

  • Can't log in?

    Check the Server Status page to see whether every server is up.

  • Don't miss a thing

    Events, updates, developer diaries: you'll find everything under News.
