Hi, Jango. I was going to let someone who has more details than me answer, but I know you're waiting for a reply so figured i'd pipe in :)

Since you were gone they had a couple of skills overhauls which included resetting all skills. Several months ago they overhauled it so much that they not only reset all your skills but auto-selected the pre-succession pre-awakening skills.

The new method for learning skills is the first few dozen levels (I forgot how many) you automatically learn the basic skills, but when you pick Succession or Awakening you start manually deciding what you want.

You cannot un-select the core pre-succession pre-awakening skills like you could when you last played. There should be a circle icon in the top right to clear all skills to unselected (except the core ones you cannot unselect).

Where you're penalized for having been gone is back when they did that they handed out some items that let you redo your skills. But you probably did not get one because you were not playing during this change.

If you accidentally selected a Succession or Awakening skill that you want to clear (such as if you ran out of points and don't like our choice), you'll probably need a Secret Book of Old Moon. There are a few other ways to reset skills, but not as good as that book because that book also lets you reset your skill addons (which were also overhauled since you last played).

Yeah I saw selected skills and all that but like when using them I can't?
like my rmb doesnt do anything and all I can do is just left click which punches and thats it.
My weapons are equipped and everything and im just confused on why none of the skills i've selected don't work :/

Make sure you have all of your weapons equipped, including the Awaken one if you have completed your awaken quest line. Skills will not work if you have no weapons equipped.

I have a 57 striker and im just so lost since all that's changed was the skills and i've selected them and all that and still can't use them. But thank you for the info

If you put skills on the quick bar, you'll need to remove them and add them again.

Here's a few basic things you can check - which you may already have done, but it is worth noting.
If you have more than one character, do you see same effect for all?
Have you checked all other skill key combinations, or is it just rmb?
When not in combat mode does rmb move you forward?
Since you have been away for a while, have you checked you have not previously altered Action Hotkey settings in Internet Settings? Such as 'Q' = crouch or you have reset WASD actions to some other keys. Many skills use those keys.
Many skills also have a minimum Stamina or MP/SP level. Make sure you have sufficient stamina and your MP/SP bar is not empty.
Unlikely, but try a different mouse if you have one. Or plug a mouse in if you are using laptop touchpad.
Checking these things, and possibly others I can't think of, will indicate if you have a real problem or not.

yeah went on my archer and skills like my rmb and the strafing with my wasd all work fine,
but then on my striker my rmb is making me walk forward and my lmb is just making me do these small punches but its nothing like on the other characters.
And yeah my Q crouches and wasd doesnt work for the skills that need them

Sorry, I don't have a striker so can't tell you if there is something different about their attacks.

Are you sure you have weapons equipped on your Striker?
Not outfit weapon skins, but actual weapons, all three.
Because what you're describing sounds exactly like not having any weapons equipped.

Think I got most of this from an event before I took a break O.o
I do remember working on a weapon...D:
Guess my awakening wep is not my main?

You don't have a weapon or subweapon equipped.
They'd fill the lowermost slots where you see a sword and a shield.

[Tsel13]

Yes, what Skeleton wrote.
Not only are you missing those two weapons.
You have zero armor equipped.
The inner circle are skins.
The outer circle is your actual Armors, Weapons, and Accessories.
Accessories = Belt, Earrings, Rings, and Necklace.
