Start-Up Guide

Step 1: Download the Game If you are new to Anesis, you will need the Full Installer available on our Downloads Page. Choose ONE of the following options: I have a fast and stable connection: Download the Full Installer as one whole file. I'm unable to download the file as a whole: Download the Full Installer in four separate parts. Each of these downloads will take less time to complete, so you don't need to worry about the download failing halfway. No really, my connection sucks: If, for one reason or another, our direct downloads are not working for you, the Full Installer is also available as a Torrent file. Torrent downloads can be stopped and resumed whenever you like; however you will need a program such as Bitorrent to begin the download. (Note: The Small Installer is for advanced users only. It does not contain all the files required to play Anesis. That is -- if you do not already know how to use the Small Installer, you don't need it.) Still having problems?

The file is named similarly to anesis_full_2013xxxx.exe, and can typically be found in your Downloads folder. Step 3: Register a Game Account Next, register an in-game account. Remember to keep your username and password secret! The sex chosen during registration will determine the sex of your characters in the game. (ie. If "male" is chosen, then all your in-game characters on that account will be male.) Should you wish you change the gender of any account at any time, you may do so by submitting a Spend Credit Request and paying a fee. Confirm your e-mail to activate your account. Upon submitting, an e-mail will be sent to you. Log into your e-mail and click the confirmation link in order for your account to be activated. Know that depending on your e-mail provider, the confirmation e-mail could end up in spam. Step 4: Launch the Game, and Patch Launch "AnesisRO" from your Start Menu or Desktop This will begin the patching process (anesispatch.exe). The patcher will make sure that your game client is all caught up to date. In the meantime, you can read about the latest updates. Please be patient, you're almost there!
