Frequently Asked Questions

🔐 Account & Security

 

How do I create an account?

Click “Create Account” on the login page, enter a unique username (letters, numbers, and underscores only, 1-20 characters), and create a password (minimum 6 characters). You’ll then be taken to the character creator to customize your appearance.

How secure are my passwords?

Can I change my password?

Currently, password changing requires contacting support.

What if I forget my password?
