Is it nearly impossible? I'm on Alps and I can log in in about an hour or less.

With the new log-in system it's nearly impossible to get onto damn silkroad. I was thinking of charging 150 silk so I can get a silver premium and not have to worry about server traffic. But the only reason I am faced with this decision is because joymax are greedy bastards and practically forces people to pay them money to play their "free" game. So, I'm on the fence about this one. What do you guys think?



The last thing probably, anyone on this forums would advice you is to pay for silk. If they force you to play their free game, why don't you just prove that they can't force you? :) This game is a total shIt and does not deserve a single cent. But afterall, its your money, your choice. :)

Sure if you're willing to pay for it then why not. Don't ask us to make the decision for you, it's your money.

Waste 3-5hours a day trying to log in, or part with a few $$ of your cash. Seems obvious to me.

Idk about other sro versions, I really want to play the 100 cap. Also getting farmed + levelled would take forever.


Tsro has the 100 cap, no traffic at all no matter what time you try, and almost no bots. You get a lot of helping items every 5 lvls (Like speed scrolls, exp helpers etc) and you get one of each sos weapon for your class up to lvl 42 :)

You sure you're doing it right? I normally log on after 10 mins to 1 hour or so. And I'd rather wait a few hours considering I can start the auto-log-in, go to work, come back, than play. Did you check to see which server you're connecting to, and if the client didn't get stuck in a loop?

well, the game is free to play but... they need to pay to the artists, programmers and game designers.

and yes, maybe you all don't like the new log in system but I was the one who used to log in in about 3 or 4 hours 3 months ago.

btw, I think only Silk buyers should be allowed to complain about bots and server traffic.. lol, they don't have traffic at all.

and why everyone knows what to do with others money? xD
lol, I work, I pay my bills and I can spend my money in a sh**** game! xD

I'm not giving in because I think its worthless.

Once I wasted too much on magic pop and got that its not even fun. I'm making now only my character for fun. If I can level and go forward with my friends thats fun, buying premium to login, buying magic pop just for a better item, using helpers for exp thats not fun, and only joymax benefit.
