Silkroad Online Forums

Alright, so i'm looking for a game that has great landscapes, beautiful environments, one thing i love about WoW is how it really looks like you're in an amazing world when you play it.. that's something i like about SRO too.
So.. since i heard Swords of the new world aka Granado Espada has some kickass graphics, i decided that was gonna try it.. i'm also thinking o trying Dragonica Online out but.. i don't know, i would like to ask you your opinion, and if you know any free mmorpg that has some epic landscapes, that's all, peace ^^

SoTNW has so many problems I wouldn't bother with it. What problems? That version just got 3.0 when the korean version is on 4.0. Duping is an issue on some servers which is why you'll see many people with 6 serpent pistols.(If you never played you need to collect 30 snail shells and it takes like a month if you don't buy them or don't bot) Some servers have a huuuuge inflation like my server Brista. Brista has power issues as well. Top 2 clans are teamed up together to own all factions and they own all taxes. Which is shitty, but what can the rest of the server do? They take all the good raids.

Game is good TBH, but you'll ragequit if you aren't even expert and geared up a bit.

thanks guys

meh, that whole thing sucks, i'm so bored.. i need an addicting game lol

Aion

P2P

personally I haven't really seen much of Dragonica, but I've played SotNW for quite a while.
the game is fun, the graphics are PERFECT, and the music is awesome. gameplay feels very unique and the story around the game seems pretty thought out. the only thing that seems to be a problem around it is that it's a bit monotonous. however that can be fixed if you've got someone to play with. I'll be glad to join you, I haven't played it for a while myself and I'm only level 26 or so.
protip: keep a scout in your team and DON'T use him for auto-heal only. people seem to be unaware of scouts power.

i would like to suggest Aion but its P2P as you may know but still its worth paying it ... Its wicked and Fun to play and ofcourse grafix are Mint aswell

Until they fix the botting issue then I'd say go for it. If NCSoft doesn't fix it by the time of my sub ends(In November) I'm ragequitting. I don't have to put up with this botting bullshit. However they did fix the exploit on letting people level to 50 easily(Elyos side) and the spamming issue, but now they the spammers spam in shit I can't read. Point in spamming then? To annoy the users?

NCSoft GMs started distributing bots for Aion already like they did for L2? They really didn't wait any time this time to introduce botting into their game huh?

Even SRO took longer than this before botting became an issue.

This was the main reason I didn't even bother to even try to get into the beta in the past, or even start. Why bother knowing NCSoft's history with botting.

They've been banning bots, but at a shitty rate.

I don't understand how can their be botter when the game is P2P Lets say I bot on Aion,so I buy the game + monthly fee,and boom I get banned? Why would bots take the risk of loosing their account(that costed "x" $)

Well the gold companies are stealing accounts and using those to spam and bot. After they made enough gold why not buy multiple accounts? One bot can generate enough money to buy 4 more. That 4 can make 16 that 16 can make 64. See how that chain works? It just continues to grow until NCsoft actually starts banning in the massive as they have 'claimed' they've been doing.

This is just all within a week. Would makes sense how they're able to do that across 20 servers. If people honestly didn't buy gold there wouldn't be gold bots, but what's ganna stop them? Grind a few hours for a small amount of kinah or work for a few hours to buy a couple million kinah? Shit sucks, because thanks to those that don't like playing the game how it should be played.

They're not losing money at all. Some are gaining a huge profit that started from nothing.

Looking at thepowerlevel of their gold prices.. Jesus christ.

Siel-Asmodians 10 Mil $ 126.38

The price is mostly the same across the servers. Give or take a few dollars. I can gain about 100k from pure grinding for a couple hours. They're going 24/7 they make at least a mil a day pure junk drops. That's just from early 30 levels. Imagine the lv 40+ bots where they can get drops that sell for 100k each. I've seen people with gold sets just because they're faggots supporting the gold botters. Gold sets = about 2mil~4mil kinah. They just allowed them to buy another bot.

I loved GE. It still has my favorite soundtrack of ALL time. I think I only stopped playing because it gets boring if you have no one else to play with and the people I was playing with quit. It has great landscapes, yes, amazing music, a unique play, and as said before, a pretty interesting story.

Probaby, even though i havnt played it lol
You dont play SRO anymore? :>

There is no way in hell I'm going back to play that game. I just have it to make videos.

thanks for all the opinions and stuff guys

i'll play aion when i start making money off concerts, lol, till then, i'll stick with F2P since i don't really have much time to play.
I think i'm going to try SONW, it sounds like a game i've been looking for, only thing is i'm afraid of not having anyone to play with and get bored, and that the bad stuff about it that toshi appointed affects me.. idk >.<''

I played it 2 years ago, then quit due to I don't know. Came back saturday to opresia and found some great people to play with. Leveling is easy and it is not really crowded, economy is not really f*cked up I think. I started saturday exploring, and in 2 days with some help of friends i reached 42. Overall i think the game is really catchy and it sets itself apart from other mmo's

Carebear server isn't, but compared to Brista when I started to play 100 chips were 3mil~6mil now they're 40mil. Even with the new Oopps boxes. Snail Shells were like 20mil then and now they're 200mil. Little excessive in a jump, right? It's because people flooded the market thanks to duping. Even though they duped the elemental jewels(10mil vis) they had to do more. Snail shells, chips, then serp/chess weapons. Of course they banned them, but they didn't ban those that give them like a $1k USD every couple months. Kinda fail, right? The mystery boxes are gone, because of some ****** that duped and opened them in the server causing a rollback and removal of the boxes.

I got to lvl75 in GE and the lvling just got tedious, the mobs were ether too hard to kill or give shit exp...

They change it long time ago. You can get 'polish' gear and that basically makes you 'godly' until you hit 84 when 84 elite armor is just cheap and better off than 100 polish. I got a 80+7 polish rifle I believe it was and made leveling a new musk easy easy easy.

yeah that was one of the changes that made my day, polished gear is awesome

hurray
then I guess I'll download my game as well now.
I recommend you to download from www.gamershell.com , they've got really fast direct downloads.

thanks mate
doin it ryte now, but will only be able to start playing tomorrow

Come to opresia everyone, honestly you should do

Goddamit I can't remmeber my account T___T
I had such epic daggers for my scout

that sucks >.<''
idk if it sucks more than this
i just dled 4gb's of the game, and now that i tryed to install, it's corrupted. LAWL.
>.>''...

Ah, yeah I've heard of that problem, you just gotta re-download.
I'll get it a bit later, I probably won't be able to play with you right away cause I've got 2 more days of "training period" for some stuff for school left. Got vacation for a week after that though, so I'll be pretty much free.
If I'm lucky I might just remember my account in the meantime.

ok mate ^^
i think i'll have to re dl then >.>''

I just installed my client and I'm updating now.
but since it's 23:36 I won't be playing today...I might turn it on to see if my account still works but I doubt it.

on the side note: which server we playin' on?

PS: at updater thingy make sure to turn off "start in window mode". otherwise the acts kinda weird and you can't see your skill bar
