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

I did this...2 and a half years later she's still my main character

Also, if you are in a committed relationship I strongly suggest buying a second copy of NWN and getting your better half hooked by watching over your shoulder (just remember they have to put in an app, too...but I understand it's fun to watch them bite their nails in anticipation *mutters*).

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..

You can if you like... read the policy on Cheesing, and if you're worried about your background then shoot us a note.

Lots of people have lots of opinions on this... I prefer to RP PCs that were just regular blokes before they took up a sword or a spellbook or whatever, as opposed to dramatic complex backstory PCs. Others like other styles... as long as it's race and history appropriate and doesn't cross the cheesing rules, you're golden.

Things to steer clear of without prior Team approval:

Noble family
Extraplanar / Non-Avlissian heritage
Direct Divine Intervention
Racial blood not possible to choose in the creator (werewolf, drow, half-sereg, badger, etc)
Cheeseball names

For most of that, "prior Team approval" is pretty much impossible to get. I bet I could come up with a few more if I thought on it, or read back through the watchlists.

Umm yes this I understand...but there is one thing I can't solve..and that would be how to log in and create a character...There is this one guy that keeps laughing at me...I think his name would be .....Password... Unless there is a way around it...I don't know it and is it the same for every server. So is there a place, now that I am approved that I can look it up and then log in..

But I am just reading up while I wait patiently.

If your application is approved already, an email of the passwords will have been sent to you.

To give the often repeated advice... if you haven't recieved that email, check your spam filter hasn't eaten it.
