== Stendhal Web Client ==
You can run Stendhal directly [https://stendhalgame.org/account/mycharacters.html| in your browser] using the experimental Stendhal Web Client, this means you do not need to download anything. Please note that this will connect you to the server ''stendhalgame.org''.

If you choose to play with the Stendhal Java Client, you can download the compiled java program here [https://arianne-project.org/download/stendhal.zip]. Then unzip the file, and double click on ''stendhal-starter.jar'' to open the client.

== Logging in ==

The next time you want to play Stendhal you can access the account you created earlier.

Open the client as before, and then click on the <b>Login to Stendhal</b> button and enter your account information.<br>
Be sure to choose the server where you created your account (the name will be the same as the site you went to to create the account in the first place. The default option is probably correct) and finally click on Login to Server.<br>

If the server is down (not online) you will get an error message explaining this. In this case either try again later or create a new account on another server.
