Silkroad Online Forums

I was thinking, since people told me on my earlier thread, that they are getting sick of does threads, why not make just one thread and update it every now and then once we get more info about the race.

So if it would be possible to make this a sticky, that would be great

Here is some info i found from another poster ( he was not the original poster ) and i could not get a hold of the guy who really published it.






Rumors are :
Islam Update will hit at 110 Cap, along with 11D
The update will take place the end of 2009, beginning of 2010
A new Dungeon will come with the race update
_______________________________________________________________________________

There is no information about pot delay, or if it is going to be a party or solo race. Also there is no information about armor/protector/garment, and the weapon skins. The skills are also unknown.





Character creation screen :





So, i hope we could just update this now and again to stop the annoying threads about the Islam update

Just trying to make SRF a better place

Good idea, theres more info around though.. i'll try find and post

Not likely Islam mobs for the starting area. Those are for Flame Mountain (below Hotan) most likely for 110 cap.


What a chakram might look like based on the Chakram Guard fortress NPC:



Quoting myself. How lame is that?

Bottom line: The only solid information we have right now are files from the pk2 (kSRO has loads of blank "Islam" folders) and descriptions that were previously posted on the main site. ALL these things can change.

Speculation that I still stand on:


EDIT:
Degrees will probably be based off of the Hindu zodiac system:

It's a bit iffy since Hindu=/=Islam. It's the closest one we can get though since both Chinese and European are also based on their respective astrologies.

i knew they would be summoners lol, just had a major hunch but thats cool!

Not to stray off topic but that set-up looks like there could be a 4th race. Was there any mention of that or is Islam the final?

No mention of any fourth race. I was actually the one who originally edited and posted that screen. I couldn't figure out how to place the Islam idol so I just replaced the scroll/letter that's usually in there. IIRC, the Islam idol always stays on that spot no matter which one I replaced.

If, for some crazy reason, there's actually a fourth race, it's rather early for them to leave some traces since the third one isn't even out yet.

Ah, I see, nice editing o.o Can't really imagine what/if the 4th race would even be lol

Loving how u guys updated it so far
Never heard of the "4th race" before, that's quite interesting.
Why lets not try to make speculations

What could the fourth race be.... from info i have gathered there is:

Cities that exist(ed) along the Silk Road:
From Istanbul, Turkey to Yazd, Iran:
# Constantinople (now Istanbul), Turkey ( Europe Update

From Yazd, Iran to Turpan, China :
# Samarkand, Uzbekistan ( Europe Update )

The southern route along the Taklamakan desert from Kashi, China to Anxi, China:
# Hotan or Khotan, China


Also what i found in my history book :


China = Introduced Day one since Silk Road release
India = Possible fourth and final race?
Persia = Islam Race Update, Possible at legend X release
Mediterranean = Europe Update

^^ Persia is based on the third race, Islam with the capital of Iran, Tehran being the main city. If there was a fourth race though I'd guess India, as you see on the map it says "Buddha world"...

Man i suck in geography lol


Islam 11Degree Male Protector


come on, it would look badass walking around like that ^_^

ya but godking and islam don't exactly match

.meh.... they still were in the "Persian Army" and served for it .... long time

the 4th race might just be India.. i think i seen others talking about the 4th race and India. so could be..

Sorry to say there is no 4th race it has and will always be 3 race... I mean its taken them this long to finaly get to the point were they are close to the logical point to release the 3rd race... the game is dieing in all of its iterations and you think they would even bother making a 4th race ROFL.

they may not make it, but it may have been in the master plan.
but 3 races more more seance to go with the 3 jobs.. but you never know with jm

i think it all depends on JM financial status. If they make good money, and want to keep silkroad up and running, they would need to bring new content for the players.

And events for the next 5 years just wont do it.

I send one of thouse email to Joymax, asking about it and they send me a reply saying that they havent started building( creating, thinking ) islmic race. India is part muslim aint it i dont wana be wrong, and am pretty sure The real Silkraod go trought India so maybe, is a combination with Islmic and India.

i'm not sure india was ever islamic, it was Hinduism and then buddist/ Hinduism Krishnah and Genish and those types of gods are from hindu, the concept of karma. And the karipatu fighting style is from India as well (not sure i spelled it right)

if there would be a fourth race, I would expect...Angels. read the map, there's buddhist world, hermit world, Heaven and a few others.

Heaven has always been thought of as the end game grind zone... but there is a reason why al the folders for islam in the sro pk files are empty and that is because they havent even started designing it or if they have they have only just started designing it... Islam wont come out anytime soon.. expect to be no sooner that winter 2010 for Ksro, and I say that with my opinion that you wil never see it in any version of the game simply because there has never been any sign that it has even seen the development table. Euro was always there so was everythign that is in the game at this point... so basicly the only thing you should expect to see IMO is flame mountain.... then it will either be a long ass wait or you will never see another major update simply because we havent seen anything new apart from the fortress war that I can think of... everything else has been in the game since the start to some extent and Islam hasnt.

Im quite tried right now so if someone posted this before me sorry

Im sure there will be 4 races
China
Euro
Islam
Buddhists

But as you can see with the pic
Islam China Euro
are at the top maybe meaning they are race areas the rest just being place to grind


Edit Also i hope islam are not summoners cause that would be sh!t

I think there gonna be summoners, and I wonder if the map is gonna extend upwards downwards or sideways for the" heaven and stuff area"

and also I think it was this forum that talked about heaven and like toad hermits as monsters lol.

You see it in the picture that starts the topic, it clearly mentions "heaven" and "buddhist world". If you look on the actual map you will see that there is an extension foreseen on the map west of roc mountain, there is even a road that leads to the next area. Further there are accesses in hotan with the turtle ferry and the call stone left of the palace.

heres a weird map but it explains a bit where its gonna be the expand of the map

Man.. if that map is right... i will reach cap and go to heaven, and wait for the unique "Jesus" to spawn.

Maybe if there will be Indians they might, instead of summons (->Islam) use Kama Sutra Power :o
And make real good use to this video

the one unique you'd feel guilty for killing

beojeeng kill Jesus

"YAY... awww"

He will come back to life anyway.. no worries

But if you kill him he will give you godly EXP .... get it?... "godly" hahahaha yea that wasn't that funny

Maby Islam will come out when sro2 comes out

.. never <insert evil laugh here>
