After you have connected for the first time to 4D (See Getting started or use the Click to play option), you will have to go through some steps to create your new character.

- By what name do you wish to be known?
Type in the name of your character and press enter.
Keep in mind that the name should be corresponding with one of our four dimensions: Future, Medieval, Prehistoric, Old West.

- Did I get that right, 'NewCharacter' (Y/N)?
Just answer yes and enter to continue. If you type no, you'll be given the option to choose another Charactername.

- Give me a password for 'NewCharacter':
Type in a password that is easy to remember for you and that other people won't be able to guess.

- Please retype password:
Retype your password to make sure it's the password you had in mind the first time.

- Does your mudclient support colour (Y/N)?
Most clients probably support colour and so does 4D but sparingly so choose yes for colour, or no if you'd prefer none.

- Please select from the following:
1 - I am new to mudding.
2 - I am familiar with mudding, but new to 4Dimensions.
3 - I am an old hand at 4Dimensions.
This is just to let some people in the mud know if they need to pay extra attention to new players and if you already have knowledge of mudding or not. This is something only the Immortals, Heroes and Helpers can see if they type who ingame.

- What is your sex Male or Female?
Will your character be male or female? Just type whatever you want to be and press enter.

- Select a class (more info given): Priest, Thief, Warrior, Mage, Hunter, Ranger, Gypsy, Esper.
Just type the class you want to play, if you've selected one you'll get some more information about the chosen class and you will have the possibility to change it in the next step if you wish to play another class afteral. More info about the classes can be found here.

- Are you sure you want to be a 'selected class'?
Just type yes or no. If you typed no, you'll end up with the previous step again.

- Select a Race (More info given): Faun, Centaur, Elf, Dwarf, Indian, Gringo, Martian, Space-wolf.
Selected the race you want to play and click enter. After you've done that, you'll see some more information about the race you have chosen. More info about the races can be found here.

- Are you sure you want 'selected Race'?
Just type yes or no. If you typed no, you'll end up with the previous step again and you can pick a new race.

- The stats are as follows: Wisdom, Constitution, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Charisma. When ready hit enter:
With each stat you'll get some explanation what they are good for. Each race has it's stat set but in the next step you'll be able to change those.
Keep in mind that later ingame, you will be able to max your stats by chosing the equipment you are wearing or holding. So there isn't much point in maxing a stat during charactercreation or you might end up in trouble maxing the other stats.

So just hit enter to ge to the next step.

- Distributing 10 stat points.
Here you can freely distribute 10 free stat points to any of the stats. To do so type the letter of the stat which is in bright green or the capital letter between (brackets) followed by the amount of points you want to add or deduct.

For instance: S 2: will add 2 statpoints to strength / O -1 will deduct one statpoint so you could give that to another stat.

When you're done type next to go to the next step.

- Choose your starting bonus Subskill:
[A] Speed -- +50 to speed
[B] Attack - +50 to attack rating
[C] Evade - +50 to evasion rating
[D] Damage - +15% to damage

This is an extra subskill you receive during creation. Just type A, B, C or D and press enter to continue.

- What is your email address?
Feel free to type in a working email adress. This is not an obligation, if you prefer to give no emailadress, just type none. Only Immortals can see this if they want to.

- Press enter or return again.

- Then you'll see a little menu, you can look at later. For now just press 1 and you'll end up in our greeting room and you can start playing the game.

In case you have more questions during gameplay you can always ask them over the newbiechannel. Just type newbie followed by your question and someone will try to answer if they can.

Have fun and welcome to 4Dimensions.
