Easier to start, easier to keep going

October 11, 2026 · Feature

A round of changes to the first few minutes of the game.

You can now try Wanderer's Tale without signing up. Hit the button and you're in. Your character is kept if you refresh or come back later, and a "Save progress" button lets you turn it into a free account whenever you like, so nothing you've done is lost.

Character creation has a Quick Start: pick a name and a class and go. Race, stats, and perks are chosen for you. If you like the old way (picking your race, assigning rolled stats, spending perk points), it's still there under "Customize."

There is now a highlighted "Continue the story" button on the action bar that takes you straight to your next main-story quest, so you always know what to do next. And Thornhaven's opening now starts with the gate.

Quick note for anyone playing as a guest: ending your session deletes a guest character for good, so the game will ask you to confirm first.

Older: New Zone: The Closing Count. All updates.
