Guidance for New Players to Alleria
Warning! The links are largely inactive at the moment – this will be corrected as the articles come back online.
First of all, welcome to Alleria, or rather, welcome to your new addiction. For those who love writing, interacting and immersing themselves in a fantasy world, this is the game for you.
Next, you might be wondering how to play this game? Basically Alleria is a massive forum where players write out the story of their character, interacting with other players and having their adventures moderated by Game Masters, Peer Moderators and occasionally, moderating their own actions. Cities are laid out in forums where descriptions of locations are used in these adventures, and these cities are overseen by the GMs. There are a number of resources already written to help you get started, and rather than repeat what’s been already done, I’m going to list what might be most helpful to you initially.
Warning: You might feel like you are getting an information overload at first. This is normal! Take your time looking around, there is no rush as this game will wait for you. As you start to post, things will begin to fall into place and after a month you will feel like you’ve been here forever.
The following pages will give you an initial introduction:
- Quick Start Guide – Actually not that quick, but it gives you a good idea of what you can achieve in the game!
- Robert’s Guide to Beginning in Alleria – This is the one to read if you truly want to get to grips with the game. Grab a coffee or whatever is your tipple, sit back and absorb …
Now you’re probably wanting to create your character, or you may already have done so, but you’re beginning to realise it might need adjusting to fit in with the Allerian world. These pages will help you tweak your profile into place.
- Character Creation – This page helps you fill out the different fields in your profile. If you need to edit your profile, click the icon at the top which says Prefs and then click on Edit Profile. Voila!
- Races – Alleria has a variety of races which you can choose from and they are all listed here. Only those with Player Character next to them can be used. The one especially relevant to us is Esh’lahier
- Character Naming Policy – To avoid Alleria being over-run with elves named Legolas, this tells you what names can and cannot be used. The name of your account which you registered with is also the name of your character in the game. To change your name, click the icon at the top which says Help and then click on New Ticket to make a request to change your name.
