| − | ===Getting Started===
| + | Need to go through the subdocs from this tree and delete them all. |
| − | To enter City of Heroes or City of Villains, complete the following steps:
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | 1. Install the game to your hard drive.
| + | [[User:Eabrace/LivingGameManual/I12 Notes|Revision Notes for I12]] |
| − | | + | |
| − | 2. Double-click on the shortcut on your desktop or use the Windows Start menu to launch the Updater.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 3. Each time launch the game it will bring up the Updater to check for and (if there are any) automatically load any updates posted by the design team. Follow the on-screen prompts to proceed to load the game.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{Gametip|Game=both|Tip=If new updates for the game are available, they will automatically be applied when you launch the Updater.}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 4. On the main log-in screen, enter the account name and account password for your [[http://www.plaync.com PlayNC]] account.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 5. Select the server on which you wish to play. When selecting a server, check the colored bubbles next to the server name. The more bubbles, the more people that are currently on the server. If a server has too many people already, you won’t be able to choose it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 6. When you select your server, you may choose a character you’ve already created and begin play, or you may choose to create a new character. You may create several characters on any given server. You may also delete a previously created character to free up a character slot. Note that once a character is deleted, he or she is irretrievably gone.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 7. If selecting an existing character, click on "Enter Paragon City" or "Enter the Rogue Isles" to proceed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{Gametip|Game=both|Tip=Characters are created for a specific server and may only be played on that server. If you choose to play on a new server, you will have to create new characters to play on that server.}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{Gametip|Game=hero|Tip=You are given 8 character slots per server if you have only City of Heroes.}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{Gametip|Game=vill|Tip=You are given 8 character slots per server if you have only City of Villains.}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{Gametip|Game=both|Tip=You are given 12 character slots per server if you have both City of Heroes and City of Villains.}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Creating a Character===
| + | |
| − | ====Choosing Alignment====
| + | |
| − | The choice of alignment is the single most important decision you will make for your character.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you have only either City of Heroes or City of Villains, this decision is easy since you will only have one option available. If you have both City of Heroes and City of Villains, you will have to decide on whether your character will be a Hero or a Villain.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Will you confront super villains, aliens, madmen, criminals, and other fearsome foes in [[Paragon City]]? Will you take on the responsibility of protecting the sprawling metropolis and its citizens from the clutches of evil?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Or will you choose to take part in the fight for survival of the fittest on the [[Rogue Isles]]? Will you commit heists, kidnappings, and infiltrations on your way to fulfill your destiny as a legendary arch-criminal?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Selecting an Archetype====
| + | |
| − | Your [[Archetypes|Archetype]] determines the nature of your powers, granting you access to specific Primary and Secondary Power Sets. It is also the second most important choice you will make in your character creation. Each Archetype has its own unique powers, abilities, and pros and cons; choose wisely as this choice is permanent. When you first begin play, five Archetypes will be available to select from. You may be able to unlock other [[Epic Archetypes]] in the future.
