Whilst you may think you're having "Fun", believe me when I say there are more enjoyable things, games, hobbies, sports to do.

You did not just compare grinding in SRO to an FPS game. Oh god no. Prometheus, FPS games require a level of interaction from the user which stimulates them. They have to think. They have to react. They have to aim. FPS requires skill. In all seriousness, in Silkroad all you do is push 2134. That is it.

My statement regarding having a life was clearly directed at the people who grind off 3hour tickets each and every day. Playing 3hours a WEEK, is a little easier to manage a life than playing 21hours MINIMUM [most likley 35-40hours] per week.

Every mmo you have named there is hardly better than Silkroad. Try WoW or Warhammer. Whilst you may hate the stereotype of being a WoW gamer, sorry to say you are being a bigger nerd/geek by playing silkroad over wow.

You obviously have not played a decent MMO, one with substance. One which has elements of skill and that can be played competitively [and is]. One that doesn't rely on PvE content of grinding 3hours minimum per day, rather uses instances dungeons and group quests to occupy peoples time in more challenging and fulfilling ways. There is always SOMETHING to do. Silkroad there is what?

A bugged/glitched fortress war once a fortnight at ridiculous times on a ridiculous day. Stupidly ridiculous amounts of grinding to level up, yet achieve nothing. Capping at 70/80/90 and finding there really is nothing to do in this game.

Cape PvP, Job, Grind. That is it. Cape'ing is a stupid PvP system. For an "on-demand" style of PvP it is just idiodic. The amount of ganking and shit that goes on, crying over whose mother farked whose and begging for 10k gold of the full sun'd 100billion gold rich botter makes cape pvp utterly shit.

Jobbing is just stupid. If a server isn't one sided with hunters or thieves, then they lack any PvP at all. It's all about who has the shittest lifeless friends willing to stand next to a hunter and res/buff them all day. It's all about running around for 2 hours trying to find someone to no avail. Triangular conflict system was a good idea, but to play for more than a couple days just gets old and shitty, much like the rest of the game.

Grinding? Well, we all know how "Fun" this is. As if we didn't do enough of it to level to 70/80/90 we get to farm for 3x longer to get farmed simply to stand HALF a chance against the cheaters out there with full sun sets stacked up in there storage.

Oh, that's only whats "Bad" about the game which people say is "Good". The lack of updates, customer service, maintenance etcetcetcetc the list goes Farking on and on and on. Over the last few years watching Joymax, I can honestly say they are the most money sighted business on the interenet i have ever seen. Compare this to a good company such as Blizzard with WoW which doesnt recieves weekly updates which do nothing, their updates change the game... they monitor character balances, fix every bug out there, monitor PvE dungeons/instances difficult levels, release new gear sets for people to collect. That list is only a tiny portion. All this not to mention that it is said by almost all players who play WoW that the game BEGINS once you cap. Everything silkroad has or wants WoW has and maintains to a level far beyond that of joymax and silkroad.

Seriously, Silkroad sucks.

What I meant with the FPS/Silkroad 'comparison' is that I can have fun in either style of game. They are both different styles of course.

I understand what you're saying and can agree with a lot of it, but most of that isn't the fault of the game itself. As others have said, it's how the game is managed. If there wasn't such a bot/cheat/scam problem in the game, a lot of the issues wouldn't be there. You wouldn't have people buying tons of gold to stack their storages with sun. You wouldn't have botters (or nearly as many). You wouldn't have everyone else doing anything and everything they can to race to cap and get fully farmed to compete with the cheaters.

The main reason I think everyone seems to race to cap is because it can be hard to do anything 'fun' at a lower level. Since there are tons of lvl 90s running around on every server, FF/sun, where can a low level go for PVP or jobbing? If the levels were more balanced, it wouldn't be such a problem.

The game could be completely different if it were simply managed by a different company.

Solitaire, Collapse, Breakout, Snood, Oregon Trail... are all games that really don't have a lot to do, but I still find them fun. Not overwhelmingly exciting, but fun enough to pass some of my time away. Who knows, maybe I would like WoW better, but WoW is not free. I'd rather spend my money on more enjoyable things in life, like skiing for example.

Btw, I wear my Geek Badge proudly thank you very much!

The geek/nerd comment wasn't an attack if it was conceived to be. Just alot of people hate the WoW stereotype and i believe undeservedly so. Silkroad is a much more grind orientated life dedicating game than WoW

. That is a different point aside though.

In respect to WoW costing money, for you [the minority] that does not buy silk monthly... WoW is "more expensive" than Silkroad. For the majority that do buy anything per month, most of them would SAVE money by moving to WoW as the monthly fee is only $18AUS [which is like 10euro.. 15US]. A premium ALONE is more expensive than WoW per month, add to that any expendables, avatars, skill tickets, pets, alchemy.... and well, you get the picture.

I'm glad you agree that the game IS bad. I too can agree that the game COULD be good. But is isn't and won't be. As ping said:

-- Playing a game for its potential is the wrong idea, especially in light of joymax. It has potential, but it is obvious after this many years that the potential is never going to be fulfilled.

I was explaining why FPS games are fun and why Silkroad is not

Why people play FPS' for good reason, but people blindly and stupidly play Silkroad.

On topic: Regardless, you are free to play the game... by doing so you will have to listen to me every few days dropping by to remind you all that there is better games out there.

Oh I know the geek/nerd thing wasn't an attack. I just like to reply to those kinds of comments with the "Geek Badge" thing

In the end though, everyone has their own opinion about SRO. Some people like it, some do not. I'm sure most people are aware that there are other games out there with either more features, better management, less bugs, different gameplay, etc, etc. Some people might not care about those things so much.

Is it really worth your time to come on here every few days to tell all of SRF that "Silkroad sucks, go play another game"? What do you really accomplish? Anyone who has been on these forums for any length of time has undoubtedly seen countless threads complaining about this or that regarding SRO, so we all know there are "better" or at least different games out there to explore. :-)

Most of the fun of MMORPG is the community, to me at least. You make a lot of friends playing sro and it's fun to talk to them. That's why I'm here anyways.

Am I the only one that thinks when someone says "a game is w/e" I think the actual game, not the community or service?

If you take away the community and Joymax, whats left is the "game" and I believe the "game" isn't bad. Silkroad is fine game, I still like it, i'm even playing it again now since there's a server without Joymax, and bots.

If you wanna review it, then fine, isro isn't worth playing but that doesn't mean it's bad, "silkroad is a bad game" I think inaccurate, it's in bad shape due to the service it has.

For example me and sacch went to this Linage 2 server a while ago, it was awful, random ppl who didn't speak enligh pk you as soon you teleport somewhere, and it was just annoying, you couldn't goto many places without it happening. But should you say Linage 2 sux? No, that particular server sucked for that reason. Just like ISro sux because Joymax.

When you one day quit Prometheus, you will realise why i come back here every few days to make the small short posts that I do. =]

DJ, "the game" as such is contributed by the community and management. Both effect the game and are factors of determining how good it is, so why would they not be taken into account... Either way, the game itself is bad anyway. Unless you are willing to dispute what i said earlier:

Seriously, Silkroad sucks.

Do you dispute anything i said there about the game being bad? What i said in the first few paragraphs ARE what the game is currently. So Silkroad, in your oppinion and despite those things i have said is a good game? Why? Honestly, there is nothing good about the game. Everything that is pronounced to be decent about the game is bugged/glitched or just plain sucks.

You do not attribute those bugs/glitches to Joymax, even though Joymax could fix them. Because they ARE what the game is now. They will not be fixed [which is why joymax is shit] and thus, are the game that people call "Fun".

DarkJackal · **Joined:** Feb 2006 **Posts:** 6119 **Location:** A den~

Yes, Joymax could fix them, and do alot of stuff they should, like i've said plenty of times, Joymax is whats bad about Sro.

You say theres nothing good about the game, thats your opinion. I like playing an archer, I like the skills, I like the equip, the areas, and most the stuff having to do with gameplay.

I've never done fortress war so I couldn't say, but I haven't wanted to either. Still enjoy the game without it.

"Cape PvP, Job, Grind. That is it." Ya, it's a game, if you don't like it that don't mean it sux, I like the cape fighting, and the pk system, I enjoyed the grinding too before bots.

I can agree with the jobbing(the new system anyway) I pretty much stopped after Euro came out, but I liked it just fine how it use to be, and there was plenty of it on Xian.

Of course it sux to grind then have retards have full suns and shit like that, if Joymax enforced some rules it wouldn't be a problem now would it?

And I agree with the rest of the stuff about joymax, but I still stand by my opinion too, silkroad is a fine game, it's just been fked up by a shitty company. I would not suggest ppl play Isro, but Isro is only a part of silkroad. If Joymax was run by blizzard and just had no bots, and some GM's would it still suck? I think definitely not.

Nothing else needs to be said. I feel the support for why this game is bad is far more convincing than anyone has put otherwise.

If people playing silkroad have not tried some of the other MMO's out there... i beg you to -.-

I couldn't agree more. SRO itself is a fine game. It could just be managed better. I would say the community goes beyond just the people that play iSRO. The community is all of those people plus the people here on SRF, and even on other forums. We don't have to even play the same game to be in the same community, so linking the community to the game doesn't make a lot of sense.

I don't plan on quitting anytime soon, but if I do, I won't bother with the "silkroad sucks, come play this other game" posts. I realize other people may not feel the same way about SRO, or any other game as I do. "Silkroad sucks" is an opinion, not fact. It can never be fact.

StacE wrote:

That's fine. You don't like the game, some of the rest of us do. So I guess there's no point in us telling you why SRO is so "good" and no point in you coming on here every now and then telling us why SRO is so "bad".

StacE wrote:

I do try some of the others now and then, but none of them seem much better than SRO as far as gameplay itself... just different. I haven't seen anything so far that is good enough to make me switch.

All you said is that Silkroad is good. No reasoning.

You said you played cabal wow and alot of others. Let me ask you, how much of wow have you played and why is it bad? I told you why WoW is better than Silkroad.

EDIT* I hope you don't play ecsro.... if you do just don't bother replying because you obviously don't like the game. You are obviously just an addict.

Promehteus and co. I am totally unconvinced as to why this game is fun. All anyone is saying is "silkroad is fun" nothing further. Anything that is said to be fun has a list full of bugs that realistically makes the aspect of the game nothing but a joke.

Meh.

You guys can continue to play this shit game =] consequences being reading my posts on these forums saving you from your obviously addicted lives.

Ok fair enough. Silkroad is fun for me because of the friends I've made. I've lost touch with some of those friends, but I'm also making new ones. I could have fun in almost any game that allows me to interact with people.

I do like different parts of Silkroad itself. I like exploring different areas of the map. I like trying out different builds (blader is by far my favorite). I like trying out different jobs, although I don't do that too often. I just like exploring the game while chatting with people. Sure, the game has a long list of negatives, but I don't let those things bother me. I don't care if FW is bugged because I don't participate in it. I don't care about CTF bugs because I rarely take part in it. If I encounter a bug somewhere, I just know to either put up with it or not go there again. I just don't let things bother me and just enjoy my time.

You can't save us if we don't need saving.

I'll tell you anyway... Grinding is fun!!! Just because it's not fun for you doesn't mean it's not fun for anyone else. I can find it fun to log into Quake 3 Arena or DOOM 3 or any other FPS and kill a bunch of players or monsters over and over for a while to get my mind off of things, or I can do the same in SRO. I can find both activities fun.

And to the people that say they are managing their lives perfectly while playing SRO legit, I say you havn't even begun to play Silkroad then. You obviously don't have the obliged actions of a Premium ticket costing an absurd amount of money each month to play 3hours a day.

I manage my life just fine while playing SRO legit. I just don't play 3 - 4 hours a day. In fact, I barely play 1 hour at a time, maybe 3 times a week if that. I just play a little here and there whenever I have the time between taking care of my daughters and spending time with my wife. No need for premium for that. It'd be a waste of money.

The game is bad for you, not for everyone. I've played other MMORPGs like perfect world, 2moons, shaiya, starport ge, and others. They're ok, but I keep coming back to Silkroad. Maybe I'm just a creature of habit, but I just prefer SRO, even if I only play it casually. That's not such a crime.

I'm sorry, i speak on behalf of you and everyone else when i say pushing 4 buttons to watch a character to the same skills dealing the same damage over and over with repetitive spawns is not fun. There literally is NO element that changes. If you're not addicted WHY is that fun? Whilst you may think you're having "Fun", believe me when I say there are more enjoyable things, games, hobbies, sports to do.

You did not just compare grinding in SRO to an FPS game. Oh god no. Prometheus, FPS games require a level of interaction from the user which stimulates them. They have to think. They have to react. They have to aim. FPS requires skill. In all seriousness, in Silkroad all you do is push 2134. That is it.

My statement regarding having a life was clearly directed at the people who grind off 3hour tickets each and every day. Playing 3hours a WEEK, is a little easier to manage a life than playing 21hours MINIMUM [most likley 35-40hours] per week.

Every mmo you have named there is hardly better than Silkroad. Try WoW or Warhammer. Whilst you may hate the stereotype of being a WoW gamer, sorry to say you are being a bigger nerd/geek by playing silkroad over wow.

You obviously have not played a decent MMO, one with substance. One which has elements of skill and that can be played competitively [and is]. One that doesn't rely on PvE content of grinding 3hours minimum per day, rather uses instances dungeons and group quests to occupy peoples time in more challenging and fulfilling ways. There is always SOMETHING to do. Silkroad there is what?

A bugged/glitched fortress war once a fortnight at ridiculous times on a ridiculous day. Stupidly ridiculous amounts of grinding to level up, yet achieve nothing. Capping at 70/80/90 and finding there really is nothing to do in this game.

Cape PvP, Job, Grind. That is it. Cape'ing is a stupid PvP system. For an "on-demand" style of PvP it is just idiodic. The amount of ganking and shit that goes on, crying over whose mother farked whose and begging for 10k gold of the full sun'd 100billion gold rich botter makes cape pvp utterly shit.

Jobbing is just stupid. If a server isn't one sided with hunters or thieves, then they lack any PvP at all. It's all about who has the shittest lifeless friends willing to stand next to a hunter and res/buff them all day. It's all about running around for 2 hours trying to find someone to no avail. Triangular conflict system was a good idea, but to play for more than a couple days just gets old and shitty, much like the rest of the game.

Grinding? Well, we all know how "Fun" this is. As if we didn't do enough of it to level to 70/80/90 we get to farm for 3x longer to get farmed simply to stand HALF a chance against the cheaters out there with full sun sets stacked up in there storage.

Oh, that's only whats "Bad" about the game which people say is "Good". The lack of updates, customer service, maintenance etcetcetcetc the list goes Farking on and on and on. Over the last few years watching Joymax, I can honestly say they are the most money sighted business on the interenet i have ever seen. Compare this to a good company such as Blizzard with WoW which doesnt recieves weekly updates which do nothing, their updates change the game... they monitor character balances, fix every bug out there, monitor PvE dungeons/instances difficult levels, release new gear sets for people to collect. That list is only a tiny portion. All this not to mention that it is said by almost all players who play WoW that the game BEGINS once you cap. Everything silkroad has or wants WoW has and maintains to a level far beyond that of joymax and silkroad.

Seriously, Silkroad sucks.

people do it to have fun on the game at cap... honestly i dont think many people find it fun grinding but when you pvp and job its fun and guild wars ... fws they are all fun

think of it like the.. you go to school to learn so you will do well in the future, well in silkroad you grind so you can have fun in the future

another point is that people feel they have accomplished something when they get cap even though they dont accomplish anything other then wasting life on a game

hope that made sense

As someone said earlier....its the community as to why people still come here...even to say they quit... This game creates a love hate relationship. We love the graphics, the art work..the skills...Hate the way its managed....but its all the other people who play that makes this game tolerable.

The forums are the last place where you can talk with a bunch of real life players..as oppose to seeing tons of bots in the game that you cant talk to. When the game was full of real life players running around and questing it was fun...now the fun is here talking about the game...
