Hello, thank you for your interest in the World of Comraich. We ask you
follow the steps listed here in filling your Application.
- Fill out the appropriate
application and post it on the
Open Application Board
for review. There are a number of sticky threads on the Open Application
Board, many of which have recent and relevant information. You may
wish to read those to see if there has been any changes you should know
about before applying.
-
If you are wanting to create a second character you must apply on the
application boards with the new
character application, which will be approved like all apps. Please do not
create a second character without permission.
-
When you post using a board account, please make sure the DISPLAYED name
matches your proposed character name (use the Profile link at the top of the
boards). Not only will it come in handy for you later when using the boards,
but it saves us GM's tons of grief trying to figure who it is that is
posting. Also, if you have an ICQ name different than you player name,
please mention the ICQ name in your application. Happy GM's mean happy
players.
-
NOTE: It is STRONGLY recommended you fill out your application in a text
editor such as Notepad and paste it into your post. This will allow you to
break it up into multiple posts on ONE thread and not loose it.
-
If you
register for a board account and are having problems with it (i.e. your
password wasn't emailed, your password isn't working, etc.), contact Halikar
(ICQ: 54135034, AIM: hquestral, email: Halikar@halikar.com)
-
After posting your
application, it must be reviewed by at least 3 people who give it a "thumbs
up." With a finally "approved" by one of the shard staff. If you
get an "approved" by a staff member PRIOR to getting all three thumbs, then
you do not need any additional thumbs.
-
You may
be asked (and it is helpful in getting your required thumbs up) to come into
our chat room and talk with us so we can get to know you.
-
NOTE: Please do NOT delete a app that has been given a thumbs down. Even
a disapproved app gives us a way to get to know you as a person if you
continue the app process. Also remember to post improved apps on the SAME
thread as the original. We use the number of threads to determine the number
of applicants and having multiple threads for yourself does not improve your
chances (it makes it harder on us).
-
The staff and player approvers do their
best to keep up with all the applications, but the process takes a while as
we are very careful. If more then a day passes and your app is not getting
ANY notice, or if its scrolled off to the second page, please read it over
again and try to "flesh it out". Apps with limited details often get
ignored.
-
If you think we may have just missed it (it hasn't been updated or
posted to for about 72 hours) do a reply to it and type "bump". this will
move it to the top of the list and flag it as new. Do not do this willy
nilly or it will be the cause of us denying the application.
-
We don't want to miss anyone, but impatience goes over like a lead
balloon here. After being approved, please download the needed files for
your UO client at one of the following locations:
Comraich File Downloads,
also read the Getting Started Page
-
After you have gotten your files,
come into IRC to request a user name and
password. Staff in IRC is denoted with a '@'
before their names. If one is available they will usually ask you to PM
(private message them) with account information. They will ask you for a
user name and password that you would like to use.
-
Log into Comraich and page a staff member using the Help button on your
Paper Doll (alt+p). Choose the New player set up option and state you are
waiting in the Start Up room for your character creation. The staff member
will help you get your character set up.
-
If there is no staff member
available, which happens occassionally, please feel free to go into the
garden area and read the books laid out for you. This will give you
something to do and shorten the setup process when a staffer arrives.
-
The setup process takes
about an hour. You will get help with setting up your skills, choosing
your hair and skin and finally a tour of your chosen kingdom.
-
After being approved your application
will be marked completed, moved to the completed board. If your application is denied, it will be
locked unless/until you can show a valid reason (demonstration of maturity,
RP style consistent with the shards, existing players to vouch for you based
on past association, etc.) for it being unlocked to continue the application
process.
-
If you receive an "automated" email from the "Comraich Shard" it is
likely your MESSAGE BOARD account, this is NOT your GAME account and can not
be used to log into the game.
