Silkroad Online Forums

I am a returning player from a long time ago. Back when it was only china. (i played this game something like 2 years ago or so)

I noticed now that there are fortresses around the map, that are under the control of certain guilds. What is this? How do they work?


Also, another new function im clueless about is the Guardian. A screen pops up when i start playing suggesting "Guardians"...what is this?

The fortress controls the town, it goes up for grabs every two weeks and one guild can win it. The winning guild gets control of the towns taxes.

The acadamy thing is to make you join someones acadamy to try to get usefully help from those higher lvl then you and reward them for thier hard work in teaching you with points that they can use to purchase honor weapons. this is how it was designed to work, though it is broken, and people seem to use it to grind noobs thru to earn quick points for themselves and then throw away the noob chars. yay ong taxi's. NOT!
