Hello everyone!

Okay first of all, i'm not new to MMORPGs. But i'm totally new to this game so i've got a few questions for you. I'd really appriciate it if you could help me a little :P

1. So i installed the game and registered and when i try to log in it says "unable to connect to server" or something like that. But server status is "online". (it's 8:19 in the morning 14th July)

2. So when i will finally make it in the game. Are there character classes or something like that? Please give me some advice what's good for dmg, def and stuff :)

3. How to make money? Yeah everyone probably asks that when they're new to a MMORPG since you can't do anything without cash here.

4. So when i finally got the char and stuff. And i start leveling up, where should i spend my stats (there are stats right?) like dex/str/def/int and stuff

Thanks alot ;)

    Might want to edit your post. Naming other mmorpg's here is a bannable offense.

    -.-; maintenance

    and wiz deal the hardest hits but are squishy
    barbs dont deal much damage high hp class
    archers are 2nd in damage but more survivability
    bms are middle melee dd class but attack insanely fast at endgame if you get the right gear
    sins deal the most damage melee wise and have great attack rate and survivability
    psychic have decent damage and great survivability
    clerics your healing class
    veno uses pets to damage and tank but also have damage skills of their own
    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    Servers are currently down for maintenance, should be back up by the next hour.

    As for classes this is the most basic rundown possible:

    Blademaster: Good all round def, very good hp, decent phyical attack (jack of all trades sorta thing)

    Wizard: Good all round def (bad phys def at the start), low hp, insane magic attack

    Barbarian: Very good def, insane hp, the tank class. Has low phys attack

    Venomancer: Good mag def, low hp, can use pets which do physical dmg and can tank, very good mag attack

    Archer: Average def, average hp, high ranged phys attack

    Cleric: Good mag def, low hp, the healer class, very good mag attack

    Assassin: The first of the hax new classes, average def, average hp, high phys attack, can stealth.

    Psychic: The second, good mag def, low hp, insane mag attack.


    The most newbie friendly classes out of those are venos (female only tho), blademasters, clerics.
    If you want more info find someone not as lazy as me or go look in the class specific forums and find class guides. They are your friend, use them.

    As for making money you dont have to worry about it yet the low lvls dont cost much.

    And for stats you need to pick a class first, and decide how you wanna play it, as in like do you wanna hit harder or live longer, hit harder or crit more, etc.


    Deciding what server you wanna be in is something else you needa do. Theres PvE and PvP servers. If you wanna kill other people but risked being killed while your trying to quest and such, go PvP. If you wanna be safe, go PvE, where you can still PvP, but its optional and so not as many opponents, and none your lvl (all the PvP'ers in PvE servers are generally very high lvls, 90+)

    If you have the balls, go PvP. You will get killed a lot, but it's worth it in the end..I've regretted going PvE it gets boring at high lvls, and PvP is a hell of a lot of fun.

    Mentioning other mmorpgs is considered to be advertising. PWE is paranoid about players jumping to other games.
