    I would suggest Archer or Slayer. But pick anything you like an with a few guides, you won't have any problems. :thumbup:

    Welcome Humble,

    I guess play the class you like, but for sure Archer, Slayer, even Berserker are the easier classes.

    If you would like to watch someone, I can suggest

    In the end it's personal preference. If you look up guides, be sure to stick to the older ones, because this is the classic server and newer guides include "Awakening Skills" and such. ;)

    In time I think there will be useful guides in the discord, so be sure to check reguarly. The rotation doesn't really matter until you hit 65. Just be sure to never stand idle, then you'll be fine. :)

    I would have forgot to check between classic and normal (I guess). It's going to be a cool adventure ^^

    having a friend that can play with you is going to be a big plus, so try to find a group either from a guild in game or irl friends to play with you, it will make your experience way better that way! friends keep you going :) especially those dedicated ones

    Hey Humble, I would definitely recommend a dps class initially for learning the dungeons and mechanics .

    Luckily I discovered I have some friends that play the game. we have done some dungeon runs which has been fun. I hope to try learn other roles as I go on. it is quite funny watching our healer run from 2-3 mobs while the tank pulled the rest of the room. luckily our healer is a pro at running away from mobs :D.

    What axely said, but since the server is down, the double EXP event will be ongoing till next Sunday. On weekdays most players are online around 16:00 - 22:00 CEST. Weekends are always busy, so get in there and keep a look out for LFGs (Looking for groups). You can look at LFGs with the default key "Y". <3

    Most instances have a short name version. You can look at them here: Dungeon Abkürzungen

    Awakening or classic?

    Both, since both servers are stationed in Germany, so Central Europe. I read that the Awakening servers do have a population but since the Classic server started out two and a half weeks ago, the Classic server is more popular right now, so matchmaking might not be as fast in the Awakening server.
