Chapter 4
Advanced User Interface
This chapter provides additional details and advanced user options for your
interface beyond the beginning information provided in Chapter 3: Getting
Started.
Character Selection Screen
At the Character Selection screen you can make a new character, choose a
character to play, change your current realm, enter the WoW website, access
tech support, and adjust your account settings.
Clicking the Create New Character button takes you to
the character creation screen, where you can generate
a character to play in the game. Chapter 3: Getting Started walks you
through the character creation process. For detailed information on races
and classes, see Chapter 6: Races and Classes.
The right side of the Character Selection screen lists any characters you have
created. If you haven’t yet made any characters, this area is blank. You can
have up to ten characters per realm.
Each character entry shows the character's name, level, current location,
and rest state. For more on the rest state, refer to Chapter 5: Your Character.
Clicking on a character displays it in the center of your screen.
To delete a character, select that character and then
press the Delete Character button. You will be
prompted to confirm the deletion. Click the Okay button to permanently
erase that character.
Realms are discrete game worlds. You can interact with
all the players in your realm, but not with players in
other realms. When you first play World of Warcraft, your realm will be preselected
for you.
If you wish to play in a different realm, press the Change Realm button. A
list appears showing all available realms and the current number of players
in each realm. Click on the realm you want to join, and press the Okay
button.
