***********************************11/8 Update

Q. I have been contacted by a GM outside the game but I am not sure if this person is really a GM. Can you help me?

A. GM's will NEVER initiate contact with you outside of the game. If you are contacted outside of the game by anyone with the name gm-crayon@joymax.co.kr or anything similar it is not a GM but rather someone who is trying scam you or steal your account. If you are contacted by such an individual please immediately break contact and report the address listed or any other information to the bug report section under the Customer Service tab on the official website http://www.silkroadonline.net.

Inside of the game, GM speech will always be pink and their GM title will be in brackets like this: [GM]

Yes guys.. Ive been checking SRo.net forums and there are dozens of people screaming that they got haxed because of this, So keep a look out.

With the abundance of disposable e-mail and address spoofers these days, I'm suprised that people still fall for scams like this.

^Nothing suprises me these days .....

But, yea, anyone with a tiny bit of common sense would notice that something's wrong about an e-mail like that.

I cant belive its not butter....its shocks me

i mean...i really cant belive it, can you??

Who the hell is stupid enough to fall for those sort fo scams. God!

I can sort of see why they think it was a gm but still why make contact

Congrats, you've won the first price for digging up dead threads! o.O

HEHE

Just a quick question though regarding GM impersonations. Ok we know that they will wear special blue armor, we know that they will only talk in pink. We know they have the special brackets around their names, but I was wondering......

When someone pm's you and it's in blue, does that mean if a GM pm's you it's going to be in pink? And would a GM pm you just to say hi? How many of us have had hundreds of players just Pm you and say hello? I've had it heaps.

So if a GM did pm you for whatever reason, if they do that sort of thing, would it be in blue text, like a normal pm from a normal player? I've always found it confusing.

Thanks in advance guys

I find it pretty annoying of the people "jokingly" saying there a GM like "Hello this is GM (Put idiotic name here)" by using global chats. It gets quite annoying.

lol this must be the only thread where like 4 posts in a row are a month apart..
