Registration and Login

If you are a new player you can choose to play the game without registering an account. This option will automatically generate a guest account for you. In order to save the progress of your game however, you will still have to register your account at a later point in time. This will be triggered as a special part of the tutorial. The corresponding quest will ask you to choose a name and register your account.

If you have played the browser version before, you can use the login to access the game with your existing account. But you can also register a new account using the registration screen of the app. Once you have logged in, you need to select the world on which to play.

It is very important before logging in to ensure you select the correct server. In the top right hand corner you need to tap the small flag, this will open the below page listing all Elvenar servers, here you will need to select the server you want.
