Silkroad Online Forums

you can? buy 50 bucks worth of gold = 50 mill what ya gonna buy? sure you can bot for 4 months but is that really playing the game?

FYI Sigil gave select players keys to give away get one and you dl the game for free.

lol well sure then, if you dont mind using a key for me i'll try it lol.

Cool soon as Areis gets home ill send one to ya shoot me your email addy in a pm hon.

Same goes for bloom and fly even ryoko's emo wow playing ass just shoot me email addy's and ill send keys with instructions on what to do what server and race to pick ( just so areis and i can coach you a lil learning curve is hella steep) After that you can reroll w/e you want just dont choose the side of good and light ill hunt you down and kill ure azzz.

LOL

$50 will get you crap in silkroad....trust me, i'm level 80 and been playing it A LONG time...i have multiple SOSUN 8th degree items, the best non sosun spear on any server and i tell you there is absoultely NOTHING TO DO ANYMORE...unless you enjoy killing the same thing over and over...what fun is that?

If you can't afford $50 for a game + $15 / Month and you are happy with SRO then just stick with it...but i assure you it does not get any better...its the same thing over and over and over and over and over........GRINDAGE....you are wasting your time...

Vanguard is quest based, group based, pvp, etc... The graphics blow away any game i have ever played (and i have played pretty much everything there is and ever was). They even have group only quests.

Passion hit it on the head, just look at her list....VG is a REAL GAME and with Sony behind it and Sigil calling the shots on the development i dont see how it can fail.

If it wasnt against the rules Passion and i would sell our SRO chars and we are both uberized level 80's, its that bad...and boring.

Totally! And why? Because they earned it. They knew how hard it was for them and everyone else. There was no need to gloat or talk trash. People knew what the lvl meant and respected that.

Now it is like "OMG 8th degree?! You must bot a lot!". Because you have people like kasumii who got that char at high lvl (dunno if it was stolen or legit donation) and botted it to higher lvls but only after he botted his original char. ViolentJ/Nato_Ice/xx_Viper_xx/"next char build he trades for" who did the same thing. One thing I can say for Kasumii though is at least he is open about it. But neither one is above spamming global with pointless shit. PomPom/lillazian is worse though. Even on scripted GM announcements it is nothing but "Fakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk you GM" for an hour or so. Even if no GM is logged in. Then you have the basically all bot guilds like Duck_Club, Bear_Club, Chinatown, Nike, Sodelicate, HA, etc, etc, etc. They show so little respect for anyone or anything in the game. Even the game itself. That they make being a high lvl a bad thing in many ways. People automatically hate you because of your lvl and accuse you of botting wether or not they have any proof. Because botters have become the rule and us legits the exception.

I am still gonna keep playing though. The good outweighs the bad still. And people who know me respect me because I show respect as well. The day respect means nothing then I will leave. Till then all the botters will eventually fall to my blade, my union, and all my legit friends and their unions. Because botters come and go. Only legits have real staying power.

T_T I loved that game but for me its pretty much ruined.

How can you fairly say "so and so game has horrible graphics"

I like the graphics. Click my sig yet? Look at dat cat

Ya cartoony. So was WC, WC2 and WC3, all of which I played my heart out. Doesn't mean their bad

And if gameplay was 'so bad', how come I can't put it down for ONE evening? Trust me, I've tried

how would u know anything about the game..ur highest char is 5x..die in a fire(not ment in a bad way, ment in a helpful way...for us all)

I do love playing this game, but to say BOT's don't bother me,sorry I can't do that. this game would be a 100% better without BOT's. The games economy has already gone to hell in a hand basket because of BOT's. you never once mentioned the games economy problem. If they didn't affect the economy I wouldn't care who BOTTED. But knowing that even at the cap, the legit players are still at a handicap because all the botters and gold buyers will have wayyyyyy better gear. and we all know it's the gear that makes the character. So while I'm trying to fight with my pathetic gear because I cant afford 100mil for a +7 all blue weapon, I'll be getting my a$$ handed to me by some botted gold buying loser who has millions to spend on gear and has the best gear possible. I will how ever continue to play hoping they can straighten this game out. I'm affraid though I'll get to the cap and realize it was a waste of time because nothing has changed and I played all this time to reach a goal and for what, so some botted character can kick my a$$ over and over again.

??

Agreed.

There is one thing that legits often have that botters don't though. Actual good friends and relations. Botters have programs grind AFK for them all day. Their only other friends tend to be other botters. SO when they job etc on those rare occasions. They tend to do it solo. And all a legit has to do is get his friends together and they can easily harrass the botter. Trust me we have done it. We beat PomPom/Lillazian so much he finally quit coming back and turned his bot back on.

Oh no BS Again Do not draw everyone over all . And harrass someone uhh you are not better you self if you do so or yours friends..
And I think '''' BR have to friends who dont BT So stop this BS.

you make absolutly no sense whatso ever i cant make hide nor hair of that post wtf are you trying to say and to whom?

please watch this and try again ty http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting.php

cabal isnt over rated if anything underrated i love it, wow is wow been going years and inspired many mmo devolpers

Cool, you have an opinion. I've played lots of games too, which enables me to label SRO as a piece of shit.

EDIT: WoW has better graphics than SRO. If you disagree, you don't know WTF you're talking about. Plain and simple. SRO might look more visually appealing to your mindset, but the programming that went into WoW graphics and environments is out of this world when compared to SRO.

There is so much more to look at in WoW...if you havn't played it don't argue, cos like I said you don't know WTF you're talking about.

@Passion not to you . If you read some post you now to whom!!

And other I think you understend what I mean If not so dont say anything.

SWEET . I guess I have something to look forward to after all

Can I ask you what level you were until you quitted?
Sure in the beginning it's a lot of questing and walking, but it's something else as grinding all the time.
The talking was fun for those who tried to follow the storyline, it was quite interesting.
3 towns soon became more.At level 50 you get a new map+town. At level 65 another town.
New maps were added as you leveled.

The solodungeon system was fun. You could do partydungeons at higher levels.

Battle modes were great, much more interesting as the zerk you get in SRO.

PvP took some skill to win. I could beat anyone my level who couldn't use the combosystem and thus failed to PvP.

Black i really dont understand what you are trying to say at all could you write it in your native language? i can most likely read it and know what point you are trying to make.

Im not trying to be mean or rude in any way im just honestly wondering what you are trying to express.

1-1 AKA 50-50

OMG So many hateful posts, I love it. KK Time to answer some questions. Those were my opinions based on what I have played, seen, and heard. This is the only game that has kept me coming back.
Dam, where to start.. hmm. I know where.

Passion- The biggest problem I have with Vanguard, EQ and WoW is the fighting system in general. I dont want to feel like I am stuck in some turn based RPG. If I wanted that, I would stick to playing Dragon Warrior & Final Fantasy series. As far as the graphics go. Well, I won't even go there.
Run SRO on Max High everything. It freakin owns, pure and simple. Like I said thats just my opinion, no need to get your panties all wadded up.

To the Mr I have a dual core blah blah blah. Maybe you have never read some of my previous posts. There is no lag. Other than when I run past the really heavily populated sections like storage. Would you like to know the main reason? Connection. I'll give you a rundown.
Im not ragging on anyones connection, I know some places and locations dont always have the best speeds, just letting this fool Know whats up.
dsl-low end(Under 1mb)Sometimes lags constantly, and hard to logon as well.
dsl-High end(1mb-3mb) Lag occasionally,little harder to connect.
T1-1.5mb not too bad on the lag, but sometimes gets as bad as^^^dsl
My connection.7.5mb roadrunner broadband- longest ever takes now to logon, 2 tries. Do I lag in game? Hardly ever. And Im only running a 512ram Sempron 3400. So ya have fun with your laggy dual core monster.

Anyways, as I mentioned in my first thread. I said its aggravating seeing someone grie about bots/hacks/ccf in every dam thread. Even if its someone saying hello. I mean come on people. I was one of the main 4 people telling morningdew how to fix the dam site, and exactly what the loopholes were, for months. I told them the precautions that needed to be taken. Hell, I even offered my services to revamp their entire site FREE OF CHARGE. That's how much I like this game. And no, it's not because I'm addicted, I grind about 2 to 4 hours a day, that is after work family time, kids in bed and all that good stuff. So Passion, before you fu-cking make assumptions about a persons age, especially in an ugly manner. It might turn out nicer if you simply ask the person how old they were instead of being a di-ck.

Death...out.

WTF

what about EVE ONLINE???????????????????

I was about to ask the same.....

oh well forget it ... Passion

But @ ping_lo don´t harrass someone when the dont have bot on .And is BS what you say.

From my opinion, I think WoW is a bit better than Sro.


1) WoW has the millions of people that play, and to this day I haven't "Disconnected From Server" in WoW.

But on Sro, it happens too many times.

2) Sro has the whole ninja scene to it. I love it how it's based on The Silk Road, in China. That's just sheer intelligence. Bravo for Joymax. And plus the Armour/Protectors/Garments looks soo much cooler lol.

3) Finally, WoW has the animals. It's so goddamn kewl. But pricey. As you've probably all seen in Ryoko's sig, see how good his "kitty" is? Lol. It looks terrifying.

Well that's just my insight on two different MMORPG's.

I play SRO on max settings matter of fact i play it with settings far higher than the game gives you options for i have the whole thing configured thru my 8800gtx and nividea tweaking tools. And SRO isn't even in the same class as VG matter of fact graphicly neither is wow if you want to get technical i can im not you average girl in this aspect. About my panties they are just fine its just obvious to me you didn't play vangaurd if you had you would realise that combat in sro is TURNBASED you have cooldowns just like sro and wow and eve and ....... there all the same and its not true turn based play ,If you dont realise that im sorry, but its a fact.



Do you know what a CCEI is? Lets just say that my and Areis connection to the net makes your roadrunner look like dialup. Areis is a network engineer who also happens to own one of the largest data centers on the west coast as well as his own ISP. Your quote above is so flagrently false that i cant help to think you run around making shit up to suit your needs .

Joymax uses "used" substandard outdated and borderline obsolete hardware don't make it out to be the end users fault they cant coonect get booted and lock up cause its not.



I agree with the first sentance i also hate how almost every topic turns into a bot thread....

But again thats 100% joymax's fault explain to me fanboy how it is joymax can't do what every other major gaming CO. can? And dont say its money cause sro brings in more money than 70% of PTP MMO's.

Heh you offerd to fix the wholes created by there incompetance ...we offerd to host US servers in the USA on CISCO"S best hardware for pennies on the dollar just enough to cover our bandwidth costs......

As far as the assumption about your age ...you flat out lied and i know it thats something a young kid does when he wants what he wishes were true to be so even in the face of overwhelming evidence it is not.

FYI you lied again 512 ram and a 3400 you get system lag if you run sro cranked just the metallic sheen and complex shadows will eat that 512 up and get you into the low dbl digits for fps and thats hella choppy and forget town you will freeze right up 512 mem barely runs XP you will page so how are you gonna tell me you run max setting in sro and dont lag its simply not possible on your system ...dont insult my intelligence.

I'm not some ametuer spouting off at the mouth i know wtf im talking about networks computers server hardware,programming are not foreign concepts to me i deal with them everyday. I'm no script kiddie or hobbyist.

As far as MMO gaming i am known by most dev Co.s Passion isn't just an sro char she has been there for every major mmo release for the last ten years. And when it comes to evaluation and end user input they all ask for my help thats why my mailbox is always getting ALPHA invites.

Look its ok to LOVE sro there are alot of good things about it but in the past year the bad far outweighs the good.

Take it for what it is enjoy it but don't blame the end user for the poor performance of the game its not there fault its JM's

This topic makes me not want to start playing SRO again, which is a good thing. But i've got a basic computer, limited games, and don't realy want to start doing P2Ps.

VG looks great though (nice info on it btw) but i'm addicted to sro and havn't played it in months :\. Soon to start again, power level myself for the first few weeks only to end up being called a bot user based of lvl and time spent, out lvled by bots and item mall users (which makes being legit kind of meaningless), and end up making same build as everyone else >.>. Also useing same couple attacks to kill endless amounts of the same mob to hit one measly level. Yet I can't seem to stay away from it

Dunno just felt like posting something to pass some time.

Once again I must post because someone assumes he knows who I am. Do you know me? No. Do you know my age? No. Do you sit behind my computer to see what I see? No. Hmm ok time to do some researching. So, you have been invited on the alpha release of every mmorpg out there for the past 10 years? Well, that's good for but I higly doubt that. You see, conversations like this can go on and on and on especially when you get 2 Network Engineers arguing about something. Oh wait a minute... did I not tell you.... Don't come on this thread flaming me because I voiced my opinion. That leads me to beleive that you are the kid in this case. I work with code daily. Im currently working on an undisclosed mmorpg. I design/code websites. I am no amateur thank you very much.

Sorry to tell you this but if your friend has more lag than I do, and he apparently "Owns" his very own data center, then that is just sad. And I feel sorry for you that you let bots ruin this game for you. Its your loss and SRO is better off without you I guess. Um, have you ever pvped in SRO, if you did you would know that the "cooloff" time you speak of is if you can't fight properly. I like to see fluid movements in the fighting style. I have 8 friends currently playing Vanguard and they all love it. I love silkroad for the same reasons someone above me posted.. Because it is simple and fun. I havent played every mmorpg out there, so I'm no expert. but the fact of the matter is, you have some kind of egotistic outlook on shit because you know a little bit about the the gaming industry.

And if you mean CCIE, ya I know what a cisco engineer gets to call himself. But you might want to learn the abbreviation before asking someone if they know what it is. CCIE, not CCEI.

Um my gforce 6100 is just a one of a kind I guess. Outside of city while grinding I run on high settingswith no lag, so eat it.

Theres only one way to solve this...

Let me go get a ruler. Everyone drop your pants...

I'm pretty sure that would only solve half of the arguement >.>

Well if what you are trying to imply is that you are an N.E. ... please once again i must ask you to stop insulting me.



Please point out to me where i say that either of us ever lags at all. And the cool offs in sro are just like every other game some are faster than others some are slower but the concept is the exact same (sro is one of the fastest out there)

As far as an egotistic oulook .... excuse me sir but you flat out lied several times and i love how you completly skirt that in your replies.

Again if you are trying to imply that anything i said is not true i will be happy to pm you a direct link to our DC website wich is currently undergoing a 60k sf expansion.



Thank you sooooo much for pointing out my typo god forbid i misplace a single letter.



I really dont care what you say but i know 1 simple fact metallic sheen and complex shadows alone will eat that 512 ram up so fast you will barely be able to play . You cannot tell me that you 512 memory is somehow "special".

You are a flagrent liar and you need to stop regardless of the knowledge you may or may not have you have completly discredited yourself here.

An NE coding websites........



Are you serious did you just ask me if i ever pvpd in sro? Wowie...
