time for some change in silkroad

i advocate we should try a silk strike together...we need to pick what DAYS of the week would be the best to do it.

silk strike: buy no silk at all for those days.

my suggestion of days to pick:
sunday and monday, because they are close to inspection hours and we all know new servers come out after these days, they EXPECT you to pay for silk when that happens.
friday and saturday, because assuming this when most of us either don't have work/school

what is your goal with this?
by putting a small dent in their profits, they will recognize that this place alone can impact them enough for them to clean up their act before it grows into a much bigger thorn in their backsides.

just remember, YOU are funding this endless corruption in silkroad, by doing so they are happily to put in more ways to profit from your selfishness, your addiction, your jealousy, and your frustration.

please try to take this serious and try not to derail this topic, i would appreciate it if someone could IMPROVE on this idea, help on getting it around to people in guilds/union. rather than posting here only to say that this is a bad idea, try to come up with something that would be much better and TRY to get that idea going as well. at this point in silkroad's history there needs to be open arms to anything that may change the course of this game.

so i say again, only post productive opinions and suggestions please, no need to be in the spotlight of being someone that likes things the way they are now by dismissing all of this. please carefully read everything before you post so you won't have to bring up questions that are already answered here.

Nice try, but I'll buy my silk when I want too ^^ You can maybe mobilize a few here, but what about the countless of others who are not on SRF?

my suggestion:

gather a few hackers,
let them start hating the game
they will take revenge themselves by clearing the servers by perma banning with GM chars

or just kidnap the CEO lol

Just quit if your unhappy.

I don't understand how an SRF silk strike for 2 days is going to matter. Now 2 months might make a little bit of a difference. But then you wouldn't be able to log on or level as quickly.

Reference first sentence.

I think better would be if 4k people cooperate together, and like everyone buy premium, in one server, and just try to login everyone, just to crash client, and make this everyday... Or on weekend's. In Theory if server can take 3500 chars online 4k with premium should make it crash :roll:

This could be successful when u reach all the silkbuyers.
But I'm afraid only 5 to 10% of them reads these forums.. :roll:

Good try tho

With a few bunch of people here, we can spread the word on ours server, through Global, Guild, Uni chats and stuff... It'll be easier on new servers while there's 2k server capacity... It'll be enough 3k people I think.

lopasas · **Joined:** Nov 2008 **Posts:** 733 **Location:**

Yes
Global chat in servers, so everyone who plays can see the idea.
Oh wait, that was soo wrong lol. My bad.

Sorry, this would only work if people planned on buying silk...I've already bought my premium and my pickup pet.

However - wouldn't it be easier if instead of not buying silk...everyone just chooses NOT TO PLAY on that particular day? Bots, legits, everyone. And of course some type of coordination campaign - or email to Joymax, or post on the official forums - that we are refusing to play that day simply because of their stance on xxx (botting, sun drops, stuff like that). If you could get 1,000 people to post on the forums all at the same time and then a followup of those people not logging on...That'd send a bigger message imho. All servers green for one day.

Tell me, what's the point if you will not play one day per wekk or so? You'll play next day.. The only thing is regulary crash servers, donot buy silk for like month. And I'm not even gonna talking about buying gold... Well sending 1k emails won't work too. Who's gonna read them? :roll:

Let's say no one buys on those days. That will cause everyone to buy on the other days, wich means joymax will have 2 days with no profit and 5 days with almost double profit. So why should they care then....

1. it wont work.

2. if your gona suggest something like this, do it properly. It's not a strike, you don't work for joymax, it's called a boycott/boycotting. -.-

Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

wootpops · **Posted:** Fri Apr 24, 2009 9:41 pm

with that new pop game the amount of silk everyone ELSE is buying, this won't hurt joymax in the slightest.

Crowley · **Posted:** Fri Apr 24, 2009 9:54 pm

Not going to work.

But meh, gotta have at least one of these threads at least once a month. :wink:

guys who are saying it won't work either a :
1-game addicts who don't have enough will power to stop spending
2-you like the game as it is (closet botters)
3-you don't give a **** about others

& i don't want it's not a free game anymore kind of speeches because however we are still buying silks the customer service is SHIT & all we do is rant at the fan forums .

btw to make this work we need to stop buying for at least a month & spread the news over other forums too .

Heres the difference between a f2p game and a p2p game. A f2p game people think "well it can be bad, it is free after all" whilst a p2p game people will think "why am i paying $20 a month for this terrible game".

Joymax doesn't need to change anything from their pov, they are on a gold mind. **** i just bought 300 silk and i regret it >_>
but oh well

My advice? Quit once and for all. Dont come back no matter what. There are such better games out there.

1 day strike is kinda useless, also with the timezones its not really gonna work.
think it through more please, but yeah id be up for this kinda thing >.>

-.- · **Posted:** Fri Apr 24, 2009 11:27 pm

i been silk striking since i started playing :S lol

NuclearSilo · **Posted:** Fri Apr 24, 2009 11:40 pm

Joymax: "Population: 10% legit, 90% bot. What is better? 100% of legit stop buy silk or 50% bots get banned and they stop buy silk or quit?

HuNt3rMx · **Posted:** Sat Apr 25, 2009 12:54 am

Why bother doing anything at all??? gaymax has done it themselves, just watch how the servers are less crowded than a few days ago (b4 gambling update) now almost every server is green/yellow at 18:00 pacific standard time.....about time....

If you are unhappy with the game, stop playing it. Stop wasting your time on something that is "sooo terrible". You're not forced to play..

Ash, what? The people that are saying it won't work are people who realize, this wouldn't work. At all. 3% of the silk buying community visit this forum. (AT MOST). Barely any would participate.. Profit dent? None.
