Look, there is nothing we can do if you can't manage to keep track of your user account name and password. Create a new account and just write-off any characters and/or equipment left on the forgotten account.
This screen illustrates a brand new account with no characters. Later when you have existing characters on the account, you would see the names and status of each character here.
Click on "Create New Character." This will take you to the Select Hero Class screen.
There are seven hero classes from which to choose. Amazon.
Assassin
Necromancer
Barbarian
Paladin
Sorceress
Druid
Beginning, brand new players, noobs like those folks that need this type of tutorial, should select Barbarian. It is a simple, bang enemies on the head type of character.
[Actually there are many complex aspects to the Barbarian. However, it can
be played in a simple mode with few complications. So use Barbarian.]
This screen illustrates what happens when you click on the barbarian graphic. A box to enter character name opens up.
In this case we are entering a name we know is in use. In the next screen you will see the error message.
"A character named "blah blah" already exists in the Realm."
If you see this message, that means one of the other million or more players has also thought of the name you are requesting. Try another.
CharNameHere is the character name I tried here. Click OK -- or better yet press the Enter key.
This is the character join/create screen. If you get to this screen, that means your character name request was granted and you now have a character by that name.
Now you need to "perm" the character. That means you need to put two hours of play time on that character within the next 10 days or it will be lost.
