Alot of people are confused as to our character creation process so allow me to explain.
Step 1) Once you log into our server, create a character as you normally would on EQLive, Pice a Race, Class, Set base stats etc...
do not worry what class you pick, your race/class/deity/gender combo is fully customizable once in game.
Step 2) You will spawn in the Astral Plane, Here you will find lots of npcs that can help you to better learn the "death" process in EQA,(it is not nearly complete yet, only the creation process is near completion) Once your ready go up into the building and Hail the Astral Spirit, follow the text and you will be "purified" (NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE EQA CLIENT FILES IF YOU WANT THIS PROCESS TO WORK CORRECTLY! you can get them
HERE)
NOTE:This Creation Process consistes of Several Client Dissconnects, YES YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO GO LD!!! You will be spit back to the character select screen each time you chagne your class/race/deity/ or gender.
once you are purified you will be ported to the City of the Forsaken one.
Step 3) Once in the City you must seek out the spawn of the Astral Spirit there, you don't have to visit it first, but it is HIGHLY RECOMENDED, the astral spirit will set your Gender and Race, simply hail it, and follow the prompts.
NOTE: EXPECT DISCONNECT MESSAGES!
once your race and gender are set, you should go choose your class. if you wish to keep the class that you choose at the normal character creation, then you can skip the next step.
Step 4) Seek out the guild house, in here there are 16 guildmasters, one for each class, if you wish to change your class simply hail the mob whos class it represents, and follow the prompts to become that class, Any race/class/deity combo is possible! (When changing your class your basestats will be set according to what class you select, so do not worry if you choose to be a necromancer at character creation and put all your points in INT, and then choose to be a shaman, your basestats will be reset, and the points will be put in the correct stats for you. (This feature is not active atm, but it should be within the next two - three days) )
NOTE: EXPECT A DISSCONECT MESSAGE IF CHANGING CLASS!
Step 5) Deity (Optional) Deityies play a very big role in EQA, so it is suggested you change your Diety to one you want based on the list int he above post. To change your deity seek out the Priest near the graveyard, hail him and follow the prompts to change your diety.
NOTE: EXPECT A DISSCONECT IF YOU ARE CHANGING DEITY!
Step 6) Welcome to your new custom class/race/gender/deity, enjoy!.
