There\'s around 200000 names taken, so you just have to keep trying. Try about 20 different names, and think of ones which arn\'t obvious. So: Trilonia would have more chance of being free than Bob.

(btw, once you\'ve got a name which isn\'t taken, it can take upto an hour on the slowest machines to load for the first time. :) )

But you\'ve read all the FAQs, so you should know not to alt+tab or touch anything while it\'s Initialising World. :)

Also if you would have read all the FAQs and stuff probably would have seen the other couple of hundred times someone has posted the exact same thing.

It might not be worth the trouble as all the accounts will be erased once CB (Crystal Blue) is released.

No, when Crystal Blue is released you may migrate your character, however there is a chance you will lose your crystals, and there is not a chance that you will keep your weapons.  However, it is to my understanding that many people are going to create a new character because so many new races will be available.

The ID is your character name, and the password is whatever you typed in the \"New\" and \"Confirm\" fields during character creation.
