This forum has many features. If you have any problems, try out the Frequently Asked Questions before pouncing on one of the loverly Super Administrators (listed on the front page) for help. Below is a few of the most used features.
-Sub accounts-
On TW you are limited to only two main accounts. Main accounts are the ones you need a user name and password for, and have to login to on the main page. However, both main accounts can have as many sub accounts under them as you feel you can play. Heres how to go about setting up a sub account.
Once you've registered/logged in, go to your control panel. This is the link in the top right corner labeled 'Control Panel/Options'. Once there there will be a link at the top labeled 'Character Management' go there and click 'Create New'. This will take you to a blank character "sheet".
Fill everything out as you would for a normal account. Don't forget to check the 'add new' box, or else it won't work. Most of its pretty self explanatory. There is a small drop down box at the end of each profile that says 'Keep Main account Invisible while posting?' What that means is..
Selecting 'Yes' makes your sub account appear as a normal account. Only Super Admins will be able to see who plays it. Selecting 'No' makes the words "Character played by 'your user name'" appear in each of your posts under your characters name.
There is no limit on characters here. Play whatever you want. The only exception is God characters, which must be approved by the admins before hand. Everything else is up to you. Start out with no abilities at all and work your way up, or start out as a powerful mage, there are no real limits.
-Credits-
Credits are the RP money system on TW. You use them to buy and sell things in the roleplays. All new members automatically start out with 100 credits, but you can gain more by doing the following things; Starting up a shop of some kind and selling things, waiting patiently for the admins to pay all the members, or you could go to an admin if you feel your character needs more credits. We prefer you have a good reason for wanting more credits though.
The credits work like this; If your character buys something from a shop or from the pub, you must pay the person you bought the item from. We'll use a 10 credit item as an example. Once you have bought it in the actual RP, go to the main page of the forum, to the left of the shoutbox where it says "Welcome Username" there will be options there- Control Panel, U2U, Buddy List, etc etc.
Go to Cash Transfers, select from the drop down list whether you want the credits taken from your main account or from a sub account (if you have one). Type the amount of credits, in this case 10, into the text box. Select the person you're giving the credits to. This would be the person/character you bought from in the RP. Check the confirm box so that the transaction gets sent through correctly, and hit submit.
What this does is take those credits from your account, and adds them to the other person's. Much like the sub accounts its pretty much self explanatory once you take a good look at it.
-Switch Accounts-
The switch accounts option is mostly for people who are using two main accounts, or for people who use shared computers. In your control panel/options, go to 'Edit Profile'. You should see a small section close to the top of your profile labeled "Alternate Account" this will have a place for an alternate user name and password. Put the user name and password of your other account, or of whoever you share a computer with in there, then scroll down and hit 'Edit Profile' like normal.
Once you have done this, a new option 'Switch Accounts' should appear in the top right corner, next to the 'Logout' option. When you click this, it will automatically log you out and switch to the alternate account. Too keep some accounts secret, when you switch, your previous account will still show up in the whosonline page.
