To register your character, type REGISTER.

PRIVACY: We respect, and will protect, your privacy. We will not sell, loan, or share your registration information. You can read more about our privacy policy at www.ironrealms.com/privacy.

Registration helps us and it helps you. Registration helps us by giving us an idea of the demographics of our player base. Registration helps you by giving you:
   - a way to keep your account safe, 
   - an automated way to reset your password, and 
   - an easy way to manage your multiple accounts.


Problems and Keeping Your Account Safe
--------------------------------------
Registration information is the primary method we use for verifying your identity in case there are any problems with your account. If you lose your password, or believe your account has been hacked, we will ask you for the name, birthdate, and email that you registered with. Obviously forged or falsified information will be of little value in such cases, for you or us. If there are any other irregularities with your account, accurate registration information is the best possible safeguard for you.


Automated Password Reset
------------------------
Additionally, with proper registration information it is possible to reset your own password by visiting http://www.starmourn.com/game/recover and follow the directions presented there.


Easy Changes!
-------------
If your registration information changes (change of email address, legal name change, relocation to a different country), you can simply REGISTER again. Please keep your registration information current!

We appreciate you coming to play, and hope you enjoy the realm of Starmourn. Be assured that your registration is safe and easy and beneficial to all concerned.


Confirming your Registration
----------------------------
Once you have completed your registration an email will be sent to the address you supplied. In order to finalise your registration you will have to click on the URL provided in the email, or cut and paste it into your browser. This process allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address.


Multiple Characters
-------------------
If you have more than one character, registering is even easier. Once you give your email address you will be prompted to verify ownership of the email using the confirmation process detailed above. When completed, all of your characters will share the same registration details. This means, when you update your registration on one character, all of your characters will automatically be updated at the same time.


About Registering and Inactivity
--------------------------------
Characters may be erased after a period of inactivity which varies from a few days to a few months. The more play time you have, the longer we wait before counting you as inactive and removing your character.

   Hours Played |  Days before deletion
   -------------------------------------
      < 1       |         30
      < 10      |         90
      < 30      |        360
      < 100     |        720

If you've played over 100 hours, or have ever purchased credits or lessons, your character will not be deleted for inactivity.

We'll send you an email to your registered email address 7 days before your character is scheduled for deletion, so you'll have time to log in and make sure your character is safe.


Dormant Adventurers and Vacations/Holidays
------------------------------------------
We're sorry but there is no provision for making an adventurer dormant, or any way to protect your adventurer from removal due to inactivity excepting to connect from time to time, except for the next section. If you must be away for an extended period, due to being on military duty, holiday/vacation, extended travel, or the like, there is little else you can do besides visit every now and then, even if only for a few seconds - or else take advantage of the protections noted below.


OOC Purchases
-------------
Because of accounting recordkeeping and reporting regulations, adventurer accounts will not be erased if any purchases have ever been made for that account from Iron Realms, Inc. This includes website purchases or mailing payment, but does not include purchasing credits from other adventurers directly or via the credit market. Another side-effect of making OOC purchases in this way is that your adventurer may not be deleted or erased.
