First Day of RO
I drew this is for GuardiansOfRagnarok 's Flashback contest. It didn't come out quite how I wanted.
This is a drawing about my first day on Ragnarok Online (around 10 years ago??). I spawned in Payon even though I wanted to be a thief, and I met this super outgoing archer girl.
We hung out for a while and killed stuff together. I remember when we crossed the bridge on the way back to town we noticed this knight afking in that cliff area to the right of the bridge. We thought his character looked cool (angel wings + elven ears were pretty rare at the time) and his afk sign said something sad, I forgot what it was. The archer insisted that we should go cheer him up. I was way too shy but I still followed her lead and we became friends after that.
After a while the archer and I met new friends and drifted apart, but I stayed friends with the knight for a long time : )
Yup, that's my story.
