Overview

After a player logs into the game and selects a server, the Character Selection screen is shown. This shows all the characters created on that server. The screen is split into roughly two areas, and allows players to manage their characters.

This guide describes all the options available at this window. A summary appears below, followed by more information about each option.

  • Rename a character.
  • Transfer a character from this server to another; also shown are how many server transfer tokens are available (note they are refilled every few days).
  • Delete a character.

The lefthand side of the character selection screen shows character slots on that server. If a character slot is occupied, it shows information about the character in that slot: name, level, archetype, and days offline. Clicking on the slot will also display the character, and indicate where in the game world the character is presently located. Otherwise, the slot reads "Create Character".
