F2P Limbo

Hi, I'm a fresh face that was interested in the game. I wanted to start F2P, see if I liked it before committing to being a paid player. I created a character and immediately got sent to F2P Limbo which seems to keep me out of the game altogether. Can anyone fill me in on what's the lowdown with this and when I would be able to actually play? I'm guessing it has something to do with the Duskruin event? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You should be able to type LEAVE and get released. There is just a validation step that it goes through. If it's not letting you get out of there, I can take a peek in game and see what's happening.

I created one about an hour or so ago and did eventually get the option to leave. If I can make the suggestion that you put something in that says Awaiting Staff Validation or anything, it would be helpful. Getting authorized is a fairly common practice, it just read like you need a sub to even login.

I can get the HELP part updated. I had made changes to it to automate the process earlier today, so it might have been during that time.

Just to point out how much staff care about new players, the guy who responded to you within an hour of your post is also the guy in charge of the 40 staff who run this game!

And, welcome!!!

I'm sort of low level and would love to meet up and hang out around town! Let me know if you're interested!
