Create an Account

Accounts are made on the website. The game client has no register button. It takes about a minute.

Registering#

1. Open secondwindro.com/register.php. The patcher and the site header both link there too.
2. Pick a username and password, and give an email address.
3. Log in and play. The account works right away, there is no email to confirm.
4. Log into the game with the same username and password.

The email address is there so you can recover the account. There is no newsletter and nothing else is done with it.

Use a password you do not use anywhere else. Nobody from the SecondWind RO team will ever ask you for it, in game or on Discord. Treat anyone who does as a scammer.

Your account page#

Logging in on the website gives you an account page with a few useful things.

Your characters, listed with their levels and classes.

The vote links. Each credited vote is worth Vote Points, spent in game at the Vote Shop. See Vote Rewards.

Password management, including password reset if you need it.

First steps in the game#

Create your character. Names are permanent unless you buy a Name Change Voucher later, so give it a moment's thought.

Then walk to the Welcome Package at /navi prontera 164/172. It hands you:

Item	Amount
Battle Manual (Bound)	1
LV10 Blessing Scroll (Bound)	12
LV10 Agi Scroll (Bound)	12

That is one package per character, not per account, so every character you make gets its own. The contents are bound to the character that received them and cannot be traded away.

From there, the Beginner's Guide covers what to do next.

More than one account#

There is no limit on how many accounts are online from the same connection. There used to be a cap of two, enforced by IP, and it was switched off on 2 August 2026. It kept throwing out the people it was never aimed at: shared houses, student halls, anyone behind carrier-grade NAT, and above all the Asian proxy route, where a dozen unrelated players leave through one address. If you were getting "Your connection is currently delayed" on a shared line, that was this, and it is gone.

For vending you no longer need a second account at all. @autotrade detaches your shop from your account, so you can log straight back in on a different character of the same account and keep playing while it sells. Keeping a spare account parked in town was the usual reason for a second login, and that reason has gone away. See Shopping Mall & Offline Vending.

Each launch of secondwind.exe opens one game window.

The rules, briefly#

Do not share accounts. A shared account cannot be recovered when something goes wrong, because there is no way to establish who it belongs to.

No botting and no automation. This includes anything that plays for you while you are not there.

Be civil in chat. The Support Terminal in the Prontera Inn takes reports, and they are read.

There is nothing to buy and nothing to donate to, so there is no way to pay your way past any of this.
