Welcome aboard! Best suggestion I could give you... read the rules, then make a PC and jump in.

And don't forget the player WIKI!! *points up* Lots of great information on there, and history, and quick ways to find information.

Please read the basic stuff about the world, and the stuff about permissible races, names, and interactions.. Remember, we're supposed to be an RP/Story heavy PW. :D

Welcome to Avlis!!! :) Lots of folks around to help you get going.

I love avlis.. my wife hates it.. Hope you're not in any serious relationship 8-)

Wiki is awesome.. make sure you check out the info on custom races and also the deific chart. Religion plays a huge role on this world and knowing a little about the gods certainly helps, though playing ignorant to them also has it's RP value :) Best way is to just dive in head first.. you can't go wrong and you'll find yourself immersed and lost to RL in no time at all.

Check your spambox, for some reason they always end it there, even if you configured the spam filter. The passwords will be in that mail.

It was definitely approved. Not sure how long it takes before your email with the passwords goes out - I assume more or less immediately.

Your Junk Email Box will have swallowed it.

ohhh yes...question...do we do up a background for our character? And if so where and such do we send it to the team so that they have an overview of where we want to go with our character...and thank you for all the attention and help know you are busy dming/playing/everything else so it is VERY much appreciated..

I strongly suggest rolling up what people call a throw-away character. Give it a name, don't spend too much time on figuring out its build or anything too much, then go play for a day or two. There are a lot of things in-game, history, storylines, the Orders of the Trust, even how to save your character - all this might take a day or two to get used to everything, get to know the feel of each server, and your whole background concept might change.

Good luck ;)
