Ok, very simple.
You're starting a new character here. So, you can easily lvl up to lvl 100 and get Third job.
Then want to continue, and you see everyone is solo leveling, so, you try this way. But you can't, your eden group gears are not enough.
So, you ask to these guys how to obtain what they use: fafnir scale, Supplemental Chip, Shield Ring, arquien's necklace, Catherine von Blood, Cylinder Hairband, Enforcer shoes, Shrine Maiden hat, etc. (i think one key item is enough)
They'll answer you can get those items in a special "event" called Fire sale, it's once every six months. Well, you don't know when it was the last fire sale and you don't even know how much you have to spend to adquire those gears.
Omg, ok, i can buy these gears in prontera, maybe. Well, once you are in prontera, some items are not in the market, and others are expensive, because you are a legit player who won't use bots, and you have to work to earn money and live and farming is not a good idea in that life schedule.
So, you may think is not worth to pay here, is not worth to stay here, because you know nothing and nobody helps you. Then you decide to uninstall Ragnarok online, and spend your money and your time in other games where you can start without problems.
Well, this is the main problem is this server and that's why people left. Because everything that allow you to play in a good way is exclusive and restricted. You have to wait months to have the chance (is not even csure) to play decently.
It's necessary to guarantee the access of "Key gears" for new players and characters through Kafra shop. The gameplay is not the best. the server is not competing with others alternative, where you have free access to everything.
For Thread Starter and New players, who would start and doesnt want to quit early.
0.) Should try to play Archer class first, at Ranger is already truly OP at lvl 100. Can do 30+k Damage. Can do LOWTI - stay until Joblvl is at 30-40+, can do without "key items" just +9 Autumn Hairband, White Wing Set (can be bought 3M a piece) and over-upgraded Crimson Bow with Hunterfly cards. Over Upgraded Elven Bow w/ Elven arrows will do much damage
1.) Should try to join guilds to meet, learn, get help from older peeps
2.) Should try to make friends and learn in-depth view game perhaps get some secrets,and get help too.
3.) Should try to loan or borrow items from trusted friends, and be honest to return and pay for it.
4.) Should purchase and play in VIP Premium Service. Always.
4.) Should SPEND KP if new player want to trade old "key items", he should try getting latest RARE SSS items to trade for older ones.
5.) Should sell rare items from hunts, SSS items from kachua keys, and others to gain Zeny in reasonable time, aside form loot farming.
6.) Should research about Grandma Boxter
7.) Should try to grind and compete at MVP hunting, and other Instances would easily earn billions if player got a MVP card= which can be exchange with MANY old "key items"
8.) Should enjoy and have patience in the game.
9.) Should try to hunt cute pets,
10.) Should join and try out special ingame events
11.) Should try to participate in https://forums.warpportal.com/ - to get updates and look ups some friends there, like TS, who would speak in quitters behalf.
This is how game is played, perhaps in any other mmorpg too, i know Thread Starter know this too, and i wonder why he is so pessimistic.
Perhaps TS should play at thor lol
12.) Should play at Thor Server, where Shield Rings, Enforcers, and other key items are being vended.
