> This is a guide on how to manage your account. Feel free to edit this guide as long as your edits are constructive towards this guide and helps improve the guide. # Introduction Your “character” is the player you use to play on the server; the one with an inventory, hair, shirt, and all that stuff. If you have registered an “account” before, that means you created a player on the server. This player will stay there even if you delete your character. Which means you can log into your account from any character and from any device. Note that ingame accounts are separate from forum accounts. ## Account Name Your account’s name is the name of the character you were using when you registered an account. For example, I was using a character called `Intro` when I registered an account, therefore, my account name is `Intro`. Throughout this document, we will be using your account name. Remember that the capitalization and spelling of your account name is very important! Do NOT misspell it. ## Identity Confirmation Currently, the only way to confirm you own an account is if you’re logged into it. Therefore, if you cannot log into your account, then it is lost. However, if you are on the same device as you were last logged in, then you can use [UUID Login](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/t/a/12015#uuid-login) to log into your account. Otherwise, we cannot help you. Sorry. # UUID Login 1. First, create a character with the same name as your account name 2. Then, when you enter the server, say “`/login`” word-for-word. 3. After that, you will be logged in. ## Forgot Account Name If you forgot your account name, then join with any character then say `/register` word-for-word. If you see this message: > You already have an account called “…”, use that to login. then the name where `...` is, is your account name. If you don’t see that message, then unfortunately, your account is lost. # Logging in From Another Device To log in from another device, you must remember two things: your account name and your password. If you remember neither, then unfortunately you must create a new account. However, if you still have the device you registered your account with, you can ask for a password reset. If you remember both, then the steps are the same as [UUID Login](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/t/a/12015#uuid-login). # Resetting Your Password If you know your password, then you can go to PvE and use `/password` to reset your password. For example, if your password is `diffuser simile headgear snowiness proxy`, use the following command to set your password to `A2BNi2UVjVbMna`. Please do not use this password. ```auto /password "diffuser simile headgear snowiness proxy" "A2BNi2UVjVbMna" ``` Otherwise, to reset your password, we need to verify that you are indeed who you claim to be. Currently, there is only one way to verify your identity. 1. If you aren’t already logged-in in-game, follow [UUID Login](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/t/a/12015#uuid-login). If you are unable to login, then we cannot help you, sorry. You can create a new account if you wish. 2. If you haven’t already, [sign up](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/signup) for a forums account and [log in](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/login). 3. Then, [message](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/m/password-reset) staff for a password reset. 4. After staff responds, follow the instructions given to reset your password. # Renaming Your Account You can also request an account rename. However, it will only be acknowledged when necessary. For example, if you don’t like your account name, if you want to change it just for fun, or something else; your account rename request will not be acknowledged. However an account renaming will be acknowledged if the name of your account is… - too long (obscures chat) - has too many repeating characters (3 max) - violates [the rules](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/t/dark-gaming-terraria-server-rules/421#p-6062-h-9-character-or-otherwise-usernames-17) in section 1, such as the caps and profanity rule - causes otherwise technical difficulties, such as DTP errors and chat errors If your name meets these conditions, 1. Follow [UUID Login](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/t/a/12015#uuid-login) to verify your identity. If you are unable to login, then we cannot help you, sorry. You can create a new account if you wish. 2. If you haven’t already, [sign up](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/signup) for a forums account and [log in](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/login). 3. Then, [message](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/m/rename-account) staff for an account rename. ---

The only one I find reasonable is the server rules link. Link 1 is linking to the same guide, which you can do from the Table of Contents. Link 4 and 5 are links already present on the guide. Link 2 and 3 are also present in the relevant sections
