I decided to gather all the questions; from the FAQ and the Q&A Section, and just put it in on a big thread for easy access. I will be updating it on a regular basis, with new questions that are relevant to the game, account, or technical wise. I will also be making little tiny changes to the FAQ; since obviously, male characters have been released. If you find any questions pertaining to the game, but are in a different section, please inform me. :D
Updates:
7/6/09 - Updated. I haven't been really active on the forums, sorry. ;P8/29/09 - Long while is long. :> A few new questions have been added. ;O

FAQ from the Site! Gameplay:Q:I have a suggestion, where should I post it?A:Thank you for sharing your interest in our game! While we love to hear feedback from our players, legal restrictions generally limit our ability to accept unsolicited feedback.________________________________________________Q:Another player was harrassing me, what should I do?A:Please take a screenshot of the offense and report it via 1:1 Support: http://grandchase.ntreev.net/Support/support.aspx ________________________________________________Q:I think I found a bug, what should I do?A:Please report this bug on our official Bug Report Forum so that Quality Assurance staff can investigate and correct it: http://forum.ntreev.net/grandchase/forums/11/ShowForum.aspx_____________________________________________Q:Is there Player versus Player in this game? Is it required?A:Players may compete against each other in a variety of formats including Survival, Team, and Tag Match battles. This PvP is optional, although experience and GP are rewarded to successful players._______________________________________________Q:What do my skills do?A:A thorough explanation of each character's skills may be read on the official website:http://grandchase.ntreev.net/Guides/guide_skill.aspxIn addition to this, you can try out the skills for yourself in the game's Practice Mode._______________________________________________ Q:Are there any advanced versions of the starting characters?A:Grand Chase features a progressive job advancement system for continuing character development that will be revealed as the game progresses.________________________________________________Q:What are runes?A:Runes are crafted items that are used to enhance your Weapon, Armor, or Helm item. The plans and materials to craft a rune, as well as the reagents necessary to upgrade a rune may be found in dungeons. Runes are re-usable, and can be removed and replaced from gear at any time.________________________________________________Q:What is the maximum level?A:The level cap for the North American release of Grand Chase is currently set at 75._______________________________________________Q:What characters are available?A:The characters Arme, Elesis and Lire are available from the beginning. Ronan, Lass, Ryan and Amy must be unlocked._______________________________________________Q:Why do some items in "Group Loot" mode get distributed right away?A:Certain items (such as equipment) that are considered important to the game's progression are given out automatically, so that they can be kept in case the dungeon is not finished. Even though these items are distributed immediately, they still follow the appropriate looting rule, so on "Group Loot" the items will be given out randomly no matter who picked them up.________________________________________________Q:I picked up an item, but now I can't find it, where is it? A:Some items that are picked up in a dungeon are placed into a "treasure box" to be distributed at the end of the dungeon. If you received items at the end of a dungeon that you cannot locate, try searching on another character as some items are character-specific. For example, Elesis uses a sword, so a sword item found using Arme will only show up when you switch to Elesis.________________________________________________Q:Can you trade items?A:Both items and GP cannot be traded with other players, any item you find is yours to keep!_______________________________________________Q:Are there any male characters?A:The female characters are Arme, Amy, Elesis and Lire. The male characters are Ronan, Lass and Ryan. It is important to realize that the character you play is a fully-developed character with their own pre-written story, rather than an archetype that you use as a mold.

~I do what I do, when I choose, why I wish.~
Well done.
Update constantly please.
Yeah..... sometimes I'm just switching between sections of the forum and nobody is posting......
I'm more used to forums that update faster than you can refresh....... but I guess slower forums can enable longer, more thought-out responses and conversations.
Anyone have any ideas to expand the guide?
(Super on-topic own. Brought to you by Ryan <3)
There's always people interested in knowing what continent boxes contain, what rare items drop from where, etc.
And since you seem to be on a guide-making spree, feel free to make your own, or find it through search. I know there are several, I just don't feel like looking it up........ sorry!
-and fine, don't have a pleasant conversation with me.-
I'm fresh out of ideas, and I don't dungeon enough for Continent boxes. ;-;
I need inspiration! ;D
Meh... I just ave you inspiration! You took it upon yourself to compile this list... I was just suggesting a few topics you might add.
although~ maybe the inspiration you wanted was my fist?
PS: I love the dude's face in the last panel.............. i'll pull the picture if you don't want it cluttering your thread.
Um isnt current cap in NAGC supposed to be 65? Level 75 was supposed to be in foreign servers...
LOL wow, he's right. I know Ryan copy/pasted this from the FAQ page on the main site, but wow.... didn't know the original had such a big error. O_o
-Gives Inspiration-
I started at level 75. Then they added the level cap. :<
So I might change that around alittle.. -Thinks-
Maybe try and get to 10,000 posts and then inspiration will come.
Great job.
It is. It's the first stickied thread in Grand Chase Q&A!
You spelt regularly wrong :PAlso, this is good, and I can find an answer here to something I don't have an answer for, or direct people here. Either way, Ryan, you've done a great bit of work here, keep it up.P.S. Update it regularly :P
With 75%+ of NAGC PvP Population, their ego is a parasite, and they're trying to feed it, and by losing it starts to die, and they get mad at it dying, so they make up a lousy excuse to say why it's dying.
I knew something was wrong with the title, I just didn't know what. x_X
I think you might have to start organizing the links to other threads.... as it is, its a big wall of text staring people in the face.
