Guild and characters
A split starts from a guild and the characters in it. Create those before the first split.
Create the guild
Open Create New Guild. Fill “Guild name”, “Game”, “Languages”, and “Your role name in this guild”.
Then press “Create guild”.
After this The guild exists, and it has your first character.
Add the characters who join
A later event picks “Participants” from these guild characters. Add each character who should be on a settlement.
Open My Guilds, open “Manage guild” for this guild, then press “New character”.
After this The characters who join runs are on the guild.
Pickup groups
“Guest name” is a name for someone who is not a guild character. It does not take a character slot.
The free allowance is 10 guest events each UTC week. For everyone else, create a guild character first.
After this A pickup name stays off the character list. Guild characters are created first.
When the guild and characters are ready, continue with First split.
