• To create your character, just click the "Create Character" button.
• You will then be asked to select a server.
  • <u>Cerberus is the main server, however, certain areas of the game will be their own mini-server, so you will see a loading screen when switching between those areas.</u>

• All new accounts will have a single character slot and two additional character tickets, so you can make three characters for free of charge.
  • You can purchase additional character tickets for 500 AP each. You may have up to 20 characters on one account .
• To purchase tickets, you must have AP available, and click the "Purchase Ticket" button at the character select screen.
  • Character Tickets are not refundable, so, if you delete the character, you can't have the ticket back.
