If you really want to 'start a new existence' you could wait until Invites are out again and create an alt. But that's really for the sake of wanting two lives, separate from each other.
If you really want to start over on your current account, the closest you can go is to dump everything you own in some random place. Give all of you currants to random people, or new players who need it (not gambling or cubi addicts, though). No way to reset level, unless staff appeals.
I just want to start a new character entirely. I don't remember the basics and don't know where my character is exactly, etc. Also, it drives me kinda crazy trying to get back into an old character.
Because my character is somewhere that I don't know anything about. It's not about the level just the fact that I made this character long ago, I forgot any of the details that I learned previously, and would like to go through the first steps all over again.
At the moment, there is no way to create new characters in the game. We are back in beta, and it is closed. Only people who already have characters can play right now.
There is no tutorial, and no way to go through the "first steps" again.
I'd suggest just start playing. Use the Live Help channel for questions and places to get more information. If you haven't bookmarked the Wiki, that would be a good place to start.
I would say, since you are already Level 1, just throw out your stuff, keep your currants, I'll drop you off somewhere in the wild, and just ask around for tips.
A lot of this stuff is new too, and the tutorial is still being worked on. The new tutorial that is.
You didn't get a tutorial when you came back? My husband was a level 1 when he started replaying in May. He had to go through the whole tutorial again, which was great because it refreshed everything for him.
I am doing well in the game now. Been playing for a few hours. Only problem is that feeling of slight disconnect with the character I made so long ago...
Disconnect with your character? With what? Your looks & clothes? or name?
Change your looks using the vanity & wardrobe.
You can change your name for 100 currants but you will not be able to change it again for 2 months.
For that link click on the account tab in the top right corner of your screen. Scroll down a bit till you see change name.
Just keep playing. You can do no wrong here. Lots of people to help out. You can IM me if I'm online and I can help you or answer some questions if you need it.
Have fun! =)
I can't explain the disconnect, and it will probably fade I am sure. Just accept that I am weird like that. Also, I will probably be doing what you suggest.
And note that I said I am playing and enjoying. The disconnect is only slight.
I understand where you are coming from. I would suggest making an alt when re-launch happens (you should be able to send yourself an invite at a different email address after re-launch). For now, good luck and keep enjoying it! :)
Not knowing the basics or where I was largely describes my early experience of the beginning of the game. In the absence of a self-inflicted reset, it might work out if you just start wandering around a bit and interacting with things. There have probably been plenty of changes anyway that weren't covered in the old tutorial anyway that you'll want to ask about either way.
