Character Creation

This page explains how to create a character step by step.

Choosing Army (Race)

After downloading and installing the client, it is time to create a character. The first choice you will make is to determine which army (race) you want to join. For detailed information, see Armies of WAR page.

Choosing Career / Archetype

After selecting an army, it is time to choose a career. Every army has four careers to choose from, and each career represents a different archetype: Tank, Healer, Melee DPS or Ranged DPS. For detailed information, see Careers page.

Personalising Your Character

The last step is to define how your character will look. In most cases, you may also choose your character's gender. You can also choose from a variety of hair, beard, skin-colour and jewellery options. Finally, enter your character's name and click Done.
