Templates

Enter your character name and press Launch. If you hit Launch and next page has the title Editing Name instead of Creating Name than you are on an existing players page. You can either use a different name (such as 'Name Surname' instead of just 'Name') or ask staff to please move the old page, which they generally do quite quickly.

To see the template without making a page enter a character name, press Create and then press Show Preview.
