Game Play

After you have created your player you’ll be dropped off in the residence of your choice.

From this point you can do as little or as much with your character as you want. We do have a task list of things that we would ideally like to see a new student do but what you do is completely up to you.

Certain tasks can only be completed at certain hours during the day. For example you can only get OSAP between 8:30 and 4:30 Monday through Friday.
