I Cannot Make A Character!

[Guest krazyblue69]

Ok, so i downloaded the game, i installed it. BUT, when i try to make a character, i make a name and everything, THEN, when i try to click on DONE it does not work for some weird reason! I clicked DONE like 20 times and it does not work! What is wrong?! Can anyone help? Please!!! I want to play this game! It Looks AWESOME! Also, when installing the game, on the Instructions for Windows, it says "Simply execute el_101_install.exe", what does that mean??

One of two things:

A. You're impatient, and it's taking awhile to load. Just wait a moment, and it will give you further warnings, or put you straight into the game.

B. Make sure the name you are looking for isn't taken, and you aren't using a Pay-2-Play race. Enter "http://eternal-lands.solexine.fr/~radu/view_user.php?user=" in the address bar of your internet browser, and put the name you want after that. If a blank page comes up, then the name's available. If stats come up, it isn't.

Also, when installing the game, on the Instructions for Windows, it says "Simply execute el_101_install.exe", what does that mean??

Simply means that all you have to do to install on a Windows OS (Win 9x/ME/2K/XP) is to run that file - it installs the game for you.

 

Lemme know if this helps.

The pay to play races are: Orchan, Draegoni and Gnome. You can only click (at the moment since u are not paying) human, elf and dwarf. Look at the bottom left, it says what is wrong there.

After installing (not just downloading) the game, and if you are not able to create a character, please look at:

I checked if my name was avalaible and it was. Then i chose Elf, and customized it. But AGAIN, when i try to press DONE, it does nothing. I sat there for 10 minutes and still nothing happens. What is wrong? Did i install the game wrong? I clicked on DONE like 50 times, and it does nothing. I am frustated, someone please help me!!

First off, can you see this page?

 

http://eternal-lands.solexine.fr/~radu/online_players.htm

 

If you can see the above page it means that you can connect to the server, then for character creation:

 

For race you can only select Human, Dwarf or Elf.

Make sure that you select a unique name and that you type your password twice.

 

If that fails; do you get an error message (red text)? and if so, what does it say?

the last solution could be your pc is too old.

 

you need a graphic card that can support open gl

 

not open gl 1.0

 

but open gl 1.5

from my #glinfo in game

OpenGL Version: 1.3.0 - Build etc etc

 

1.5?

Erm, you are jumping into conclusions. There're a lot of networks that are only "connected" to the internet by a (possibly transparent) WWW proxy. If he'd be in such a network your conclusion would be horribly wrong.

Well we told him it'd work with 1.5 as he complained to fail installing OpenGL 2.0 Noone was presuming it wouldn't work with an older version 0:c)

Well, it doesn't hurt to check.

 

 

Anyways I hope you got it sorted out now krazyblue69, char data is in the mail.
