I have a total of ZERO knowledge of anything about Ragnarok. I remember seeing my brother play Ragnarok when I was a little kid. It looked super fun playing with his friends and all. We even watched the anime series with CDs. Then he stopped playing because RO implemented subscription, he can't pay them because he was still in highschool. The 'Ragnarok' name still stuck to my head until this day. So anyway...
After a while now about +20 years or so, which is today, I search for Ragnarok and shocked it is still alive until today. Created new account in Transcendence, launch the game, kill some porings in training ground, hit level 10, warp to archer town because I read in forums its good to farm as an archer on 1st character. So I went ahead talked to the guildsmen. He said I need to be Base Level 9 and Job Level 10. But I'm at Base Level 12 and Job Level 10. The requirements also said need to collect trunks to 25 points. I have 18 barren, 5 fine, 12 solid trunks in my inventory. So I don't know why I can't advance to next class. I currently stuck here. I was expecting a chain tutorial quest that will lead me or hint me to go somewhere. Maybe pick up the class in academy on the main city. Currently there are no quest at all in my quest menu. I am very confused right now on what to do. Can't even ask player around town because they all AFK.
TLDR: So how does a new player(not homecoming veteran, not from other server, but new to Ragnarok Online) consume this? Where do they go? What do they need to do? Where do they pick up quest? Where are all the players aside from WTS puppets in town? Can anyone help me why am I stuck to advance class?
