Dancers and Wizards oh My!

Players start off their adventure in Rune Midgard, the game's world, as a classless Novice but can quickly advance to one of the game's six starting 'jobs' of Swordsman, Mage, Archer, Merchant, Thief and Acolyte after reaching a level 9 'job level'. The game has another starting class or 'Super Novice', but it's mostly for bored veterans of the game looking to kill time, so new players should just ignore it. The beauty of Ragnarok Online is that the game's job advancements are a great way of keeping players hooked onto the game. After the first job advancement, players can advance their jobs again at job level 40. If you're really hardcore about Ragnarok Online, The game doesn't end for you here because after reaching your level 40 'job', you can advance your class one more time, but only after reaching maximum level and 'rebirthing' your character by effectively starting over at level 1. After rebirthing your character, you'll have access to special skills and bonus stat points, but you'll need to work your way up the experience ladder again, but this time the amount of experience you need to level up will be significantly more. After reaching a level 40 job class on a 'rebirthed' character, you can advance to your character again.
