Hi, forum!

 

I've checked out the guides, but since they seem to be around 3-5 years old, I thought I'd ask here instead.

 

I'm a brand new player, as in, never-before-have-I-ever-touched-RO. I was wondering which version of the game would be right for me "Classic" or "Renewal". Could someone explain which is which and what would be a good free-to-play server to join?

 

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply! :p_love:

I'm in the eastern united states, so I don't suppose that one matters too much to me. :p_laugh:

well in that case, it's just the old classic vs. renewal debate. what are you looking to get out of your gaming experience?

in general though renewal is friendlier to first timers and has a larger population.

(This is the last post I can make until tomorrow, since my account is new)

 

Well, I don't know anyone on the game yet, so I'll probably be soloing some to start with. I don't really mind grinding or questing. Are the level caps the same on each? Are the classes the same on each? What about exp rate? Is there a guide on this I can be linked to? (I didn't see one on classic v. renewal, but I may have just over looked them).

 

Knowing that may help me out some. I'm leaning towards the one that's more friendly to newer players, but there's got to be a reason they kept a classic server. I'm sure the classic version must be good, too. :p_smile:

classic server came about originally from people who didn't like the renewal mechanics. you can find out a lot of information on both servers on the irowiki. the level caps are different.

on classic, you do not have third classes, and the level is capped at 99 for all classes.

on renewal, it is 175/60 for the normal classes, and 160 for expanded classes (kagerou/oboro, expanded SN, rebellion eventually).

both servers require a huge amount of exp to reach the final levels, although getting to 150 is pretty easy on renewal.

currently both servers have jumping janeway which helps you level up quickly as a pre-trans character.
