Creation of characters: 1) To create a character here, there are two ways: You can either request it online, in which case you give the wizard or helpstaffer your email address and desired name, The password, chosen randomly, will be emailed to you. Or, you can email the request, with your name and email, to chars@svansmoj.ctrl-c.liu.se. He will then email you a password to use. 2) Anyone not being on the list of policy violators can have a character created this way on SPR. 3) Characters never used, can be recycled after 3 months, in case somebody else wants the name. A verification of the character being inactive should if possibly be acquired by the wizard getting a request for the name. This will be done via email or other means of communication known to this wiz. 4) You can have any number of alts (characters registered to the same email address) that you like. Shared characters are allowed, but the owner of the email address is still the one responsible for what they do on here. 5) What to do as a wiz or HS if you get a char request: 1) Ask for name and email. Some domains are considered to have too weak authentification of their users and are thusly disallowed. 2) If the email address is valid, create the char. Give it a password only you know. 3) Email the user, telling the password nut NOT the charname. Email is insecure (as is telnet, but don't package it :)). (@pcreate ==) 4) There is an SPR welcome file that you can also email in 'news spr-welcome'. This is canon.
