Getting Started

The path from "just landed" to "in a scene" takes about ten minutes. Here's the whole route.

1. Arrive in-world. Teleport to one of our participating regions. Landing points have signage pointing you toward the HUD dispenser.
2. Attach your HUD. Take the HUD from the dispenser and wear it. It automatically registers your avatar the first time you attach it.
3. Set your gender. Use /9setup (or the HUD's setup menu) to choose your character's gender - this only needs to be done once.
4. Build your character. Follow the Character Creation guide to pick a species, name, and background, then set your race and class through the HUD menus.
5. Pick a faction (optional, any time). Browse the Factions directory and reach out to a recruiter if one is currently recruiting.
6. Distribute your first stat points. New characters start with unspent stat points - use /9stats to view them and /9statup <stat> to spend them.
7. Set a website password (optional). Use /9password on the HUD to get a one-time link and create a password for the Character Portal.
8. Enter roleplay. Head to a scene, introduce your character in local chat, and let the story happen. When in doubt, read the Rules or ask a staff member listed on the Contact & Staff page.
