I am looking at starting this game as a friend used to play it and it seemed interesting. Any tips, guides, or suggestions on which class to choose or skill sets for said class?

I think I have a character on this game
but I can't remember which server
if I find out I will let you know
and I would play something u always do in other game like wizard or w/e

Yea looks like I won't be starting again as the company that used to host the game transferred over from OGP to EST and that was a few years ago and someone informed me they no longer offer the account transfer meaning I would have to start all over. I don't feel like grinding all those levels and skills again. So I may or may not, but if you still play I may join you if you feel like helping a newb. I never really got into the game as my friend botted my account to like level 80 one night so I didn't really get to know the game mechanics.

If you are on Europe then go play on Mars server :3
Grinding to lvl 80 also is an easy task.
Just lvl up by making up quests until lvl 100. ( sometimes just go some random dungs like weak lid weak rs weak eod lid rs ) then after 100 you can easily go eod until lv 110
After this you can easy lvl up to 125 in lakeside then 140 in mutant forest.
After this , the hard lvling starts , since the exp will be a bit harder to get , in pontus ferrum then porta inferno to lvl 180.
If you reach lvl 180 go Arcane Trance and grind up to 190.
Go farm DX ic1 ic2 aos1 aos2 fi and make up some bunc of Alz then make up your gear.
Go TG if you want some honor , either if you want some money stack up to like 20k W.Exp and echange for 100x Rune Cube then you can open them all and you surely get some nice Runes witch would get you some nice Alz.
If you want to play with friends then pm me you ingame name (if you willing to play on Mars) i`m willing to help you a bit.
Tho , i`m just lvl 79 and i`m not lvling that char since i`m only in TG :D.
Good luck
Cheers

I just started again and I played 5/6 years ago when it was OGP and my account is exactly the way I left it - barring all the changes they made especially to skill ranks vs. character level which are now capped depending on character level instead of free to advance as much as you can muster
