Register. Create account. Then hit log in. Once you hit log in, you'll see your username in place of 'log in' at the top left. Click that. You'll see a list of your characters (you'll have none at the moment) with a big button labeled 'CREATE NEW CHARACTER.' Once your character is created, the login and password you used at 'register' is your login and password for the game. Most people just use the same login and password they used for the forum to keep it simple, but it's important to realize your forum account is not your game account. Hope this helps.
