Getting started
Create an account, learn the sidebar, and know what happens on your very first sign-in.
Create an account
Go to Sign up. Three ways in, all equivalent:
-
Continue with Discord — the fastest option, and the one we recommend. Linking Discord up front means TRAX can DM you invitations and reminders straight away. See Discord.
-
The Google button — sign in with a Google account.
-
Email — fill in Name, Email Address, Password and Confirm Password, then press Create Account. Passwords must be at least 8 characters. You are sent to the sign-in page afterwards.
No password reset yet. The Forgot your password? link on the sign-in page is not wired up. If you lose an email password, ask on the support Discord.
Just looking?
The Landing page has a Try the demo button that drops you into a pre-populated guild with characters, events and activities already set up. Nothing you do there touches a real guild, and demo data is cleaned up automatically.
Your first screen
If you are not in a guild yet, TRAX sends you straight to Discover Guilds rather than Home — there is nothing to show on a dashboard until you belong somewhere. Read Joining a guild next, or create your own.
Once you are in a guild, Home becomes a three-part feed:
- Needs you — event invitations, guild invitations and your own pending applications, each with the buttons to act on them. This section only appears when there is something in it.
- Next up — your upcoming events.
- Guild Announcements — whatever your officers have posted.
The sidebar
On the left (or behind the menu button on mobile):
| Item | Goes to |
|---|---|
| Home | Your feed. |
| Calendar | Every event you can see, plus event creation. |
| My Guilds | The guilds you belong to. |
| My Characters | Your characters. |
| Discover Guilds | The public guild directory. |
| LFG (cyan pill) | The Looking For Group hub. It pulses and shows a count while you have characters looking. |
Below those: a cog for settings (support link, language, and this guide) and your avatar for Profile / Signout.
Activities are not in the sidebar on purpose. They are a guild-level template and automation concept, so they live in Guild → Manage → Activities. See Activities.
Language
Click the cog in the sidebar and pick EN, FR or ES. While you are signed in this is saved to your account, so it follows you between devices — and it also sets the language of the Discord direct messages TRAX sends you. Guild channel messages use a separate, guild-level setting; see Discord.
What to do next
Create a character — most things in TRAX need one.
Join a guild, or create one.
Declare LFG so your guild knows you are around.
