Can you please give me a bit more information, like

  • the name of the world you are trying to create
  • the description you are trying to put it
  • have you ever had another account with World Anvil
  • have you ever used the same name for a world before?

    The name of the world should be Etheran, so nothing fancy. I don't have a field for putting in a description. There's only the name, the system and a checkbox for premade categories and articles which I tried checked and not checked. This is my first world anvil account as far as I know. So no, I've never used the same name before. This is my first time trying to create a world.

    Update: I just tried to use a different name. In this case 'TestRiaMin' and this time it worked. I'm not able to change the name of the world to Etheran though. Then I also get the 404 error.

    There is indeed another world called Etheran by a user with a username that becomes "riamin" the email of that user is "rm.******n@g****.**m" that really looks another free account created by potentially you in 2022-02-18 16:30:44   In the case this IS your account - please make sure you either use that or delete it - because it would be a violation of ToS having 2 free accounts.   If that is not your account, sadly world names under usernames are protected by Intellectual Property and you won't be able to use that name   <3
