I checked multiple servers, went all the way to different cities and I literally saw like 5-10 people in each town. How am I suppose to buy items and you know, socialize if there is no one there? Are only specific servers populated or what because I couldn't find a group of people who actually talked or anything.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

edit: I played years ago by the way and the starter towns alone would be FULL of stalls and people selling things, I only saw like...maybe 3 stalls? At the beginning when I logged in.

A year ago the starter town, Jangan would be full due to the end lvl content being there, aka Chin Tomb.

Now the end game content is in a new city, Alexandria. Also, the stalls are all located mostly in Hotan now due to new stall consignment system.

Since everyone is a high lvl now and this game is over 5 or 6 years old now, there aren't many new beginners. So basically, unless you join a BRAND NEW sever, there won't be many ppl there.

Okay so if I wanted to buy a SOS 16 bow to do the old school SP farming method, where should I look for that?

lol...I remember those good ole days...That type of sp farming is outdated. Joymax made it possible for you to now get power leveled and power farmed by a high level player. You get SP at a much faster rate than going to bandit den with an SOS bow.

As for not seeing anyone to socialize with try logging in on the weekend. That's time when most players are on.

Okay well that explains the lack of stalls. I guess now I have to find out a new SP farming method since I don't have a high level to power farm me like the other guy suggested..

Is the game still severely infested with bots? When I say infested, I mean INFESTED. I quit the game several years ago because if you're a non-premium player, it'll probably take you 2-3 hours to log in during peak hours and once you log in, your training area would be swarming in bots -- both gold bots and 'high profile' players. You'll find at least 10-15 bots in the town, lined up in front of an npc, and about 10-20 of them per field. There's almost no chance for legit players in the game since even if you manage to get 1 or 2 SoSuns, every high level bot has a full set and high +. The trades were mostly protected by the high profile botters (and gold buyers) using p2k edit to see through stealth/invisible. And everyone hated people from Turkey.

Anything changed yet or is the same old shitty SRO?

Needless to say, I started the game a year or 2 before the Euro expansion so it was a few months before the "bot era"

IGN was inkblood on Olympus.

lol...O and P were giving me problems last night.

And if you check the server statistics on that other site during a time of normal traffic, you can see which servers are being maintained by JM and which aren't. Most of the new ones peak at about 75%. The old ones can still get maxed out.
