Anyone play Ragnarok's Sakray server?

Merchs are usefull, but IMO, you should make a battle-oriented char first. Mages make good first chars, because you don't have to constantly buy new equipment for it (since if you get up close and personal, you're screwed regardless, and damage is not dependent upon your equipment). Of course, you have to party or be a quick study on hit-and-run tactics...
