| + | |||
| + | In short : When the player has logged in and wants to create a character, then a GUI window shows up to enter a Name and either hit "Create Character" or to "Cancel" . \\ | ||
| + | When clicking to create, nothing happens. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Creation of a character at the version 1.50.0 is a mix of new GUI code and the old "traditional" way of character-creation in the info-message pane and command-line. \\ | ||
| + | After having clicked "Create Character" , the process to choose the race happens inside the info-message panel. Here the user gets at first asked to chose the stat values, then to chose the race of the character. | ||
