i would recommend that you download the client as a first step, then you can get onto updating and reading the guide.
<Rux> i wish i could say that narrows it down, but the internet is one freaky place

Long answer time! :D

The Downloads section on the main PlaneShift website offers instructions for creating an account:

Quote
To play PlaneShift you have to download one of the files below depending on your platform, and then register a new account.


After filling in and submitting the registration form, you will receive an email with a link to the activation page. If there is a problem with account activation, check these two threads. When activation is complete, start the game, type your email address in the \"username\" field, type your password in \"password\" field, and click \"Login.? You will then be brought to character selection screen, and since you are new player, you will have to create a new character (simply click on the first empty slot).

Before loading the world however, make sure that you have updated both the game client and your graphics card drivers. The PlaneShift updater utility can be found in your main PS directory, and Start->Programs->Planeshift Crystal Blue->Planeshift Updater if you?re on Windows. You may want to follow instructions found in this thread, however, since regular updating has been troublesome lately. While waiting for the updater to finish its work, I would suggest you read the Player Guide, and browse through a few stickies found in the various forum sections. Some of the most useful stickies include:

CB Feature - Diagnostic files
A short but helpful FAQ
Character Naming Policy - Must Read!
A Guide to Role-Playing
How to Report In-Game Abuse
On Guilds and their creation

Good luck playing!
