Hello first off I would like to say I quit SRO right around time Europe came out and started when it first came out, so been awhile. I was wondering If Anyone could answer some questions if not all just what you know would be helpful.

(1)Alright first off I read that SP Farming at bandits is now replaced with something called oongs or something haha And say you can get powerfarmed there or something? Im wondering whats the whole dealio with that?

(2)Secondly I was wondering if the guild cap is lvl 5 still? As I hope I still got my lvl 5 guild i created on my server :P (troy or elderodo or something been awhile i played on both so forget and hopefully my char isnt deleted)

(3)How are the economics now due to all the goldbuyers etc, Are SOS really pricey now? I mean they were somewhat pricey before but is it ridiculous now?

(4) Also Is pure int Still godly for both pvp and pve? I know Full Str was good but on my spear it was like 2 nukes done, 1 if zerked lol (not to mention Pure STR was so dull to solo with)

(5) How are european chars in soloing compared to chinese?

(6) Lastly, Do people group now with the Euro patch or is it still dead old silence well soloing with bots running by :P

Thankyou To Anyone who can assist me in any way possible ;)

edit: forgot, Hows the D/Cing and lag? does it still take hours to get in game if you dont have that item mall thing?

1.) Bandit farming is basically, dead the plus side of this is that you don't have any competition if u want to do it this old way, however, ong powerfarming is faster, much faster. However, u need 2 computers and a high level, 64 plus, or a really nice friend xD- here's a topic to help u with it if ur interestedhttp://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=71661&hilit=ong+powerfarming

2.)Yes guild cap is still lvl 5, and i don't c it changing

3.)Yes sos prices are ridiculous, moreso for euro than chinese though i'd say these would be reasonable prices for plain sos spears all degrees on older server like venice
1D 300,000
2D 500,000
3D 1,200,000
4D 2,500,000
5D 5,500,000
6D 20,000,000
7D 35,000,000
8D 100,000,000
9D 500,000,000

4.)Pure int s/s with snow and light is still decent, same goes for spear, anything else gets owned without snow
Warlock/cleric for euro is good for pure int euro

5.)Euros solo just as well as chinese provided they are a str build or an int build with cleric, they might even level faster

6.)There are lots of euro parties on older servers at lvl 70 plus and maybe 50 plus on new servers, but no, i repeat none at lower lvls unless you join a guild with lots of low level euro legits
Note, if ur interested in such a guild get on venice and pm me at Rodom, the guild accept chinese although any euro build is preferred

7.)D/C and lag isn't that bad, maybe dc once every couple days u play if u play like 3 hours a day

8.) server traffic is really bad on old servers, on new servers a lot of the time their is open space, i recommend eos for the lowest server traffic consistently, but not a great legit community xD

Hope this all helped

Answers to youre questions
1. It's Dependent on what youre level is, you may still farm effectivly at Bandit fortress at level 16-20.however Ong's are the result to why these kinds of places remain empty, you basicly give someone gold for a powerlevel, prices are based on the average in youre server but occasionaly you may find a free one. Take extra caution though more than often half will steal youre gold before youre hour is complete.

2.
As far as I'm aware, Five is still the level cap for guilds, although I have heared of level Seven's but thats just public speculation.

3.AHAHA, Economic failier. on most server's you will find the veary lure of silkroad gone from the game, no one feels the need to thief hunt or trade, speaking on behalf of Uranus these job's are now realy rare event's due to the rise in shady gold bot''s that dont seem to get banned hmm...

4.Pure INT is as Godly as you can get youre equipment, and carefull consideration when applying SP to youre character.

5. That's down to personal preference realy, i say chinese the lag time between euroes makes you want to put on a cupa

6.There is a site to check server capacity it may help, but we all no consistency is the key

7.Bot's will tend to invite you to a group, the irony XD

Hope I answerd youre questions effectivly and
Welcome back.
