I messed up

Post by Hal Bonfire »

I tried to create a character about a week ago, but I didn't spend too much time on it. It hasn't been accepted, obviously. I want to keep the name, but I want to change just about everything else. Is there any way to edit this by creating a new character?

The only reason it wouldn't be accepted right away would be the name, make a new char with a new name and apply again, and I'll give you a hint, get rid of Bonfire.

:( But I like Bonfire, you could pronouce it oddly (bon-feer-uh, bon-fir-ay) I created a different char with the last name Bonfeuer (feuer=fire in German) I use this name all the time, but I guess I'm gonna have to change it, huh? :cry:

I also put a lot more thought into the second character, to fit in with the medieval world, I hope it works.

Actually, the name Hal Bonfire is from a story I'm writing. I'm just hoping it gets accepted...

Can anyone tell me what I should expect at the beginning of the game? Can I just make up a quest for my character? I've thought of something that sounds cool and fun to pursue. If you wanna hear what it is, I'll tell you in game, if I trust you. That's kinda my schtik, distrust.

Ok, I still haven't gotten a reply on my account, yet, I guess they didn't like that name either.
You know they should at least reply to you to tell you your account wasn't accepted. I know it's not important to them, but it'd help.

Also, where can I e-mail a GM about my quest idea?

Ok, I guess I need to try to make another character.... I really want to play this game, it would help if I knew what to change about my last attempt so I could make an acceptable character...

We'd like to help you, but it is in your hands to get accepted. There are no cliffnotes, tips, or what have you. Follow the rules provided on the Illarion website, and I'm sure you'll make it. Good luck.

Well, I think I may have been accepted. I got an e-mail saying to answer the questions in the attachment, but there wasn't an attachment on the e-mail... Any ideas on what I should do?

Also, can someone please explain this a bit better for me.
1) Describe what you do when you play a RPG. What relation do you have to your character?
I don't think I understand that right and I just want to make sure.

Man, I have a lot of questions, but here's another.

Is there a newer version of Illarion out? I got a message saying I couldn't connect to the server.
