Creating Your Rail Nation Account
When you first enter the game, you’ll create a Rail Nation account, and an avatar for a specific game world (server). By default, the server is selected based on your language choice (e.g., selecting German will place you on a German server). However, you can choose a different game world later.
Game Tutorials
As you begin, we recommend following the tutorial led by Lucy, the in-game conductor. Each tutorial task is designed to help you familiarize yourself with the game’s interface, menus, and essential functions, making your start smoother and more enjoyable.
Additionally, the Help menus provide valuable information. There are also tutorials and advice shared by more experienced players in the game, whether in city forums, chats, public forums, or on Discord. Typically, association leaders, mayors, or presidents post game guidelines, as it benefits them to ensure new players learn effectively, contributing to the success of the city, region, or faction. Players are also encouraged to create their own guides to share their experiences and feedback with others.
