Thank you, Tay, Fog, and Ark.
I also appreciate the advice, Fog, and I edited accordingly.
So far it's been a very pleasant experience, especially with all the help I've received. I only hope that I can manage to repay it while following etiquette protocols.
I have so much to learn. I've played another MMORPG before and slowly managed to become fairly decent with it over a couple years or so, but RO is a significant departure from that game and a very unique experience.
Thank you again for greeting me. I will probably turn to the forums here for some questions in the future, although I have had quite a few answered by people I've met in-game. I hope I will have success finding answers that have already been posted, though, so I don't run the risk of frustrating anyone with my lack of understanding.

Cheers!
