The lag was gone but when I tried to log in, it said I haven't paid. I thought it was supposed to be free... well, I'll try again.

Ahhah, got in!

Yay! It was free, I was just a little blind. To be able to really play on the Valkyrie server;

1. Go to the same place you have RO installed in. (Mine: C:\Program Files\Gravity\Ragnarok Online)

2. Search for a button called "Valkyrie" and press it. It'll start patching.

OPTIONAL = 3. Make a shortcut on your desktop for the .exe with the "Valkyrie" name.

After it has patched, hooray, you can play! When choosing server it'll only show the Valkyrie server to you, which is the wonderful free server. After logging in and choosing a server, you can create a character! (The gender is the same you chose when registering an account for RO.)

A picture of my starting build

(I'm inexperienced, so that may be the worst build ever. But... I like being strong! Enemies die faster that way! ;___;)

First steps!

WOO! I started playing and I got to say I love the graphics! You can even scroll the view by 360 degrees!

My first steps were filled with joy and I started exploring, there wasn't much but grass and trees... but I was amazed that some areas had some "3-D". I went over the bridge as Shion in the beginning told me... (See picture, that's her.)

And here I've crossed the bridge and arrived at the castle walls! You can walk in the game only with a mouse. You can also customize windows and there's some styles to them too. :D I liked the default theme so I didn't change.

Wonderful, wonderful... after entering the castle, I had to go through many guides whom were blabbering all kinds of stuff. About the first skill called "First Aid", Kafra Storage etc.

First after that I got to experience some real battle!

Yup. That's a Roda Frog attacking me. Woo! I got a little helmet from the instructors! Cute! The "mission" here was now to level up two times, which didn't take too long. After that you had to visit a guy who would take you to the job instructor. He would then give a personality test to check which job would be the most suitable. He said that I'd be a good Mage, but I didn't want to be one. I wanted to be a Swordsman! He sent me to the headquarters of the Swordsman and I encountered the person you'd have to talk to in order to get to the 1st class.

I tried to achieve the title of Swordsman, but I hadn't fullfilled the requirements. I'll work on that probably tomorrow. See ya!

That ends the first day of playing Ragnarok Online.
