Character Creation Error

Post by Cinnamon »

Hello! I'm new to TMW, and it looks really fun. ^_^ I downloaded the game client and opened it with no problems; I registered and signed in with similar ease.

My problem seems to be that I can't make a character. I can open the character creation window, and choose the options for my toon's hair, gender, and move their stat bars to where I choose, but when I try to create it, the button greys out and I'm stuck at the loading screen indefinitely (unless I press the cancel button-- which works fine, meaning the game isn't frozen). I don't get any error messages or anything.

Here's a link, though I don't think it'll really help.

I've tried restarting the game client and my computer: neither seems to have any effect.

Thanks in advance for the help. ^_^

What version of TMW are you using and what version of OSX?

I can't reproduce this problem with either 0.0.29 or 0.0.29.1 on OSX 10.5.7

Hello,

I've got the same issue as Cinnamon. I'm using the version 0.0.29.1 of the client with OSX 10.5.7
Note that I can't click on the 'male' button at all.

Gender is based on account, and not character. I already discovered that when trying to recreate the condition of cinnamon by trying to create a female character on my male account.

Perhaps the problem is related to female accounts, I will try creating a new account as a female and see if I can reproduce the problem.

Following to that, I've registered as guy and tried to make a character. Doesn't work either.

Talking to the experts, this problem could be caused by using a username that already exists.

We are working on a fix for the client to show error messages when failing to create a new character, in the meantime please try a few different usernames and see if that works.

Regards,
