Welcome to IPlay!
Welcome to a virtual tour of the IPlayNet Online
Games system. Here you'll find helpful information for
first-time visitors to IPlay. We know you're ready to play, but first make sure you have
downloaded the IPlay game client software and installed it. You can get the download file
here.
Once you have installed the software you then
need to reboot.
To signup for your username or to log into the game lobbies
click on the world icon on your desktop called IPlayNet. This will run an updater
to insure that you have the latest files.
Next, a login box will come up with a
username and password box. To sign up with a username click the Add Account
button and enter the username and password you wish to use. If this account name
is already taken you will get a screen that says error processing request which
means you need to pick out another name. (Note: Usernames may not start
with a number or include symbols such as @ & % $ or *).Once you have your username added,
click on the Sign On button and this will take you to the game lobbies. If its your
first time to IPlay, you will be taken to our New Users lobby where a staff member
will assist you in the operation of the IPlay Game Software.
