Ok so basiclly it's an anime based rpg game that kind of resembles some old-skool classic games like the Final Fantasy early series and Zelda on snes.
The game is 2d characters in a 3d world, It has a lot of charm and class that you would typiclly find in eastern and japanese animimation over that of our westeren animation.
This game is simple at face value, But has huge amounts of depth and enough diffrent activitys to keep you hooked for (well this is my 6th year playing the game on and off O.o).

First off I'll just link some things that you should and will want to know.

Oh and just so you know, Don't worry if your pc is kinda slow or lame, I used to run this game on a single core prosceor with 512mb of ram and a crappy old gfx card and it ran fine.
Basiclly if you bought a PC this century and it has XP it'll run fine.

Ok now while you wait for it to download you now need to make some choices before you just jump right in, The game is very fun, But if you don't plan a couple things out you might end up messing you char up early and might have to restart if you muck it up to bad

Here is a post from a RO fansite forums i think you will find useful:

It's basic stuff but it's useful.

Ok so now you are a novice and you have decided what class your going to aim for, now heres some info about the novice area:

Try and get the full benifits for the class you want to be.

I will update this and make a better guide overall if people show intrest, I really love this game it just always was a pain that you had to pay and alot of people don't want to. Now you can play for free i think more people will come to it.
Things is atm i have just been consenrating on the startings stuff, the real good stuff in this game comes when you get a Clan/Guild and have huge castle wars. Check out info here:
