Here is a thread for all of you newbies to read if you do not know something or need a little helping hand.
So some typical questions asked by people new to the game and/or forums with answers aswell!
Typical questions about the forums.
Q. What is repuatation and how does it affect me?
A. Well rep in itself is pointless. It can be used for little messages others if you do not wish to PM them to tell them how good or bad someones post is. For a detailed description read Megabytes thread here. (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17472&highlight=Noobies%3A+rep)
Q. Other peoples names are in gold, why isn't mine?
A. This is because these people have purchased a gold account or asked someone who has a spare subscription code to gold their account for them. If you have a gold and wish to make your forum gold status then you have to get your TAO account subscription number. You do this by logging into your paypal account. You then go to history and select your TAO account subscription. You will see at the top of the page in blue writing "S-38759864786237854925" for example and that is your subscription code and you enter that in a ticket. To submit a ticket for a forum upgrade then go here. (http://www.tacticsarena.com/gold/support.php) Choose "Upgrade Forum Account" and fill in the fields and there you have it.
Q. How do I get a custom avatar?
A. You do not have the option of choosing a custom avatar without gold status in the forums. Once you have gold status in the forums you will be able to upload your own custom avatar.
Q. How do I get a sig/banner?
A. You can make your own banners with either Paint or a version of Photoshop. For a tutorial on how to make banner in paint go to this thread made by Zoticus, here. (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20389)
Or if you do not wish to make a banner, you can try and find a banner maker willing to make you one or you can post your banner request here. (http://www.tacticsarena.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11837)
Typical in-game questions.
Q. How do I make a clan?
A. This is a common question asked by many, here is your answer. To make a clan you must be gold, to purchase a gold account, go here. (http://www.tacticsarena.com/gold/upgrade.php) To be able to purchase a gold account you need to have a paypal account and a credit/debit card. Go to www.paypal.com if you have a card or a parent willing to buy you an account and then register for a paypal account.
Once you have a gold account, making a clan is simple. Once you log in and are gold simply type "/clan The Arcadian Legends" for example.
Q. I spelt the name I wanted for my clan wrong, can I make another?
A. There is a blunt answer for this question and that is simply... No.
A gold account can only make only one clan in its lifetime. If you mess up the name, that is your problem.
Q. Someone told me if I press F5 I get a special unit, is this true?
A. No it is not true. That is a common scam used by idiots along with many others. If someone tells you to type something or press a certain key/combination of keys "for a dragon" or something, just don't do it and report it.
Well hope this helps. I'll finish it off tomorrow, for now, this is it.
