Becoming a Member

Many features at FantasyRole require you to become a member. This is purely to collate and organise everything you as an individual contribute to FantasyRole, and to make things manageable for you.

To join us at FantasyRole is straightforward and easy. To do so, click here and complete the form.

When joining, you need to provide your member name and a password. Note the member name can be anything, and need not be your character name. Most players use their real name or their player handle.

We do store your details in a database, but we will never pass your details on to another company. The contact details you may later provide in your member profile are only to assist other players in contacting you.

Logging In

If you join up, you'll be logged in automatically, and a cookie will be stored on your computer. Please ensure you have cookies enabled for FantasyRole, and we'll remember who you are as you browse the site every time you visit.

Logging Out To delete the cookie and logout, click the logout button. Member details are encrypted, but logging out is still wise, especially if you are on a shared-PC.

Logging In To log-in again, you'll need to enter your member name and password on the contents bar, and click the "Login!" button.

XP Level-Up Bar

XP Bar The XP Level-Up bar is used to record your status as a contributor and reward you as a member when new levels are reached. You gain experience points when you contribute material and to discussion.

For non-members, it is possible to acquire XP which is then transferred to the member profile when you become a member.

1. Timezone

Listed here is your timezone setting. Click the Options link to access the full range of member options.

2. Member Name

3. Level and Rank

A level rank created by the site moderators just for some entertainment value.

4. Next Level

The level bar is a graphical representation of your progress on the current level. As the guage fills, you get nearer and nearer to the Next Level. When the guage is complete, you move to the next level and the bar empties to the start of that level.

5. XP (Experience Points) / Next Level XP

Your site experience points, and the amount required to ascend to the next level.
