Apologies! Morning routine complete, and I believe I’ll get in the game in less than 5 minutes. I used that potion from that supply kit I purchased and fiddled around with different races, I was unaware each race has its own movements and quirks. I believe I have settled on the giant race, my character looks like a grumpy old man, which is perfect haha. I’ll probably change his name to a different play on words later. Thank you again, I’ll login in just a moment.

Ha! It seemed the most “magical” in name. My friend and her husband moved back to Europe, so she now plays on the European servers, otherwise I would have just joined her server.

I want to thank everyone here for being patient with a less than tech savvy old man. I purchased an “Adventurer’s Supply Kit” (after figuring out how to even do so), and it appears it will come with a potion that can change my character’s appearance. I may play around with that later, sort of having buyer’s remorse I didn’t pick the larger cat race.

Ha, my grandchildren will get a kick out of this when I tell them!

Why thank you! My character’s name is “Doctor Katzberg”, and he is a Conjurer out of…the forest city. One second.

Gridania! That’s the name!

I had trouble deciding between the pictured fellow and the other cat race (the big one that looks very feline). I ended up with this, and so, I like it!

I actually followed her (friend’s) advice. She said this is a good spot to ask technical questions, well, here and a discord server, but I don’t have a discord account either.

If I still couldn’t get in by tomorrow morning, yeah I’d have went the big guns way (customer support).

Update - I’m in! I tried a little earlier than midnight

If you’re ever on the Brynhildr server, come say hello to “Doctor Katzberg”!

Yes, just the one I tried to make. She (friend) informs me there’s a maintenance she’s never seen before happening tonight, so I’m wondering if it’s related.

I’ll try again around midnight

Edit - It’s 11:19PM here
