Please note that the javascript used on our website doesn't work well with Internet Explorer.

We apologize if this is an inconvenience for you.

Getting Started

There are two separate parts to registration: Web Based Registration and IRC Based Registration. In order to play a character on this server both must be done.

Website Registration

To register on the Website, send an email to storytellers@original-sin.net (note: in your email client, convert the capitalized words to their symbol equivilent) with the name you wish to use on the website. You will get an email response from a storyteller with your chosen name and a random password. If you already have an account on the forum, you do not need to register again. Just log in with your forum name.

We suggest first making your character sheet on a blank text file so you can copy/paste information and also so you won't lose anything if your browser crashes.

You must then login to create a character (make sure you click the "keep me logged in" option if that's visible). To make a new character, go to the menu bar on the left and select "Create". Make sure to read over the creation rules; we expect you understand them before making a sheet. Fill out the sheet fully, trying not to leave any blanks and then you may click submit. This will send the sheet to the storytellers to look over.

Original Sin is not a forum game, play by e-mail, or website game. You must have the ability to connect to IRC to play with us, and you must connect to irc, join #help, and talk to an ST to formally get approved for play.

When you are finished with your sheet, click on the submit button and let an ST know you have sent in a sheet for approval. Once you click submit, you will no longer be able to edit the sheet. You will be limited to a box known as "Editable Details", so make sure the sheet is finished. We can not open it back up for you to edit after this. If anything needs to be edited an ST will have to do it. The best we can do is delete the sheet and let you start over, so be careful that you have completely filled in the entire sheet. Also, keep in mind there is no "save for later" option, so either make your sheet somewhere else and copy it over, or set aside enough time to finish it. If something happens where you need to save a sheet mid way through the process of making it, please add a note on the sheet in the Editable Details or Experience Spends box explaining that it is not ready for approval and hit submit. You can then go back and add in the remaining information in the Editable Details box.

IRC Registration

Once signed on to the IRC server, join the #help channel either by typing /join #help or typing /list and then select the #help channel from the Channels window. Once your character is approved, a Storyteller will walk you through the irc registration process.

After that, you may register your nickname with Nickserv. Type /msg nickserv help register to get the help file on that: the simple command is /msg nickserv register PASSWORD
