Silkroad Online Forums

guys since legit = u need active ppl around u so ppl like 20's and 30's can all go one server and make their own guild which they can make party's and ofc with each other active legit will be fun i tried it and it worked fine

ok lolz
thats sounded like "with only your rl friends" stuff..

i mean active and go one server? hmm

well u can do that and like post here on server what ever we made a legit guild we welcome any members wants to join

i made a legit guild on venus and i remembered a week after i made it that silkroad has like-no legits.

the bots won the war in venus, theyll do it in any other server xD

There are still legits on venus, and i suspect in other servers as well

There are real legits who never bot, and so-so legits who do play by-hand in parties at times and bot at other times.

Of course they cant be considered "legits" in the general sense of the word but for gaming purposes and in the context of this thread they are what the OP means and is looking for : players who play their chars in parties, at least at times.

Anyway wether in your 20's or your 40's there ARE real parties on venus. (as for the 80+ ones they're the easiest ones to get as that's when botters start to play their chars:;)

And if you're not getting any, run a free plvl party.
I do that at times, saves me from spending hours trying to build up a party.
And thanks to my gear it still gives me decent expe (mobs 3 to 4 levels below my char's, works good).

This thing is a bit of a nonsense : people whine that there are no parties but they hardly try making parties themselves. I know it's hard to see 10 people pass by your party and leave because you're alone in it (duh, how on earth will my party get to 3 then 4 people if you don't stay, you Farking idiot ???) but still that's the way to do it.

Thanks to the game mechanics normal parties are not the only way to have fun. You can trade. You can bot trap or assist a bot-trap being run by others. You can follow people passing by, assist them and join them after a while. Be creative and don't remain stuck in one gameplay, in only one way to get fun.

Be on the lookout for parties made by others, be willing to compromise, make party-play your priority and not expe-gain-rate. And be welcoming of others, i think that's the main obstacle. I tend to get pissed off rapidly that's what i still have to work on. Many times a very young noob suceeds in agregating a large party whereas i dont, because he has a joyous and welcoming spirit that others love to adhere to. He doesn't know how to play but who cares, he's got an 8/8 party rolling:)

P.S.
As for the bots having won the war in venus, they havent so much won it as the "legits" having lost it. The venus legits were pseudo-legits and real closet botters (i'm talking about the leaders here). They were exploiting the legit community and treating the botters like objects, in pure nazi-style. That's what undid them. They united everyone against them, plain and simple.

Many legits on venus joined the botters as early as spring of 2008 because the so-called "legits" were freaking teenage-dictators on a power-trip.

They had rules to steal the drops from their legit parties and other obnoxious retarded immature behaviors. They claimed far and wide that scamming botters and using exploits to ruin botters was legit and good.

This is what they lost, not the war against botters but the war against respect of other people, the war against friendship and freedom.

"You are not allowed to be friends with botters" was a core Avalon rule and although it went undercover after a while it was still prevalent and in effect in practice until the end.

They lost because they sucked as human beings, only the jerks, the subs and the opportunists remained with them in the end and the Empire crumbled.

The good people in their ranks left them constantly during a year and a half, rightfully digusted at their actions.

Yes it was all about building a darkside-style empire, about "pwning" the server using people and treating them like drones, either their own members or their adversaries. Lowlife teenager jerks, that's what they are. That's why they lost.

The legits could still "win", but never again by treating people like dirt.
This we have learned.

Not trying to offend you.
I find your replies are always long.
Can you cut it short nxt time? xD

i know they're too long
you're not being offensive
i just dont know how to shorten them without cutting out stuff that is relevant to me, except if i had my share of writing and communicating with others before barging on this or another web-forum.

i cant connect since last inspection
i guess i should reinstall

anyway i'm using this forum as an outlet
as long as there are no moderation rules for overwordy posts and i respect all the rules, i dont see an exit to this.
sorry:)

i'll go bother the abovetopsecret site now:) just ask, that's an option too:)

I enjoyed reading it though, it was full of absolute truths.
If the "empire" had done things differently, they could have, at the very least been respected.

theres nothing wrong with low level legits. the main problems is theres not enough of them because the majority of them are weak minded dick heads who just join the rest of the croud -.- as always they cant wait for the next big thing and just get "bored".

if your bored of leveling. quit noobs

i respected it and a lot of other people did, and it led to the most enjoyable time i've had on SRO.

stated towards truie aswell: just because you disagree with how it was done, doesnt make it wrong.

i think truie may have just won some of my respect... expect it in the mail within the next 4-6 weeks.

and directed at Toasty, just because you werent one of the legits that were exploited doesnt mean it didnt happen.

explain.

and were you in venus?

i dont need to explain a damn thing. yes i was in venus.

theres no point saying something, if your not going to explain what you mean.

if i felt you were someone to whom i had to explain myself, i would, but i dont. i dont have to meet your standards for posting things.

you were the one who started talking to me.

sorry for trying to use points / reasoning when posting. i find trying to argue towards my point more engaging than simply saying i'm right and your wrong.

but we're all different i guess.

im not arguing anything. i know what i know, thats all i care about. i have seen plenty of bullshit dribble out of flys mouth in the avalon royal courts, i have seen him defame original avalon members because they realized what the hell was going on. i saw the beginning of the end of fly's control over venus. i saw satan himself fall from the heavens. they didnt say **** venus because they lost the fort, they lost the fort cause they said **** venus. they saw an uprising with their own ranks, and gave up like bitches. not before doing everything they could to make as many peoples lives as much of a hell as possible, even if they were people trying to help the legit movement on venus. helping the legit movement wasnt enough, you had to be there to help THEM.

ok yeah, thats true, to an extent at least.

i still cant see how anyone can deny that they did a brilliant job with Venus, something noone else has ever done on SRO. maybe i dont respect them as people. but i definately respect what they did.

Come to Troy, all legits are welcome to my guild, no matter the level.

This is by far the most interesting thread in weeks, I didn't know such a thing was going on in Venus then :o very interesting to read, and Toasty, Acting as nazi's does make you bad ! CeLL = Win here

But Toasty your not an ignorant fool, you just proved that by saying "Okay that's true, to an extent atleast".

ANd achilles go make a new thread and get flamed plox XD or take it to the Troy Server section (although nobody ever looks there)

Am srry i try help legits, but am sure Troy is more active then what server you in again am srry most not be very imortant server...

the end doesnt justify the means.

I think I have one of the only remaining purely legit guilds on Venice. Two members, myself included. It's only a lvl 1 guild, no union.

could I join, Need a guild hehe

Venus became a downfall for one reason only. the system was corrupt.
every who signed the confederation and the blacklisting and such was probably to try to hide fly and nightblooms total mistake.

the leaders were why it was corrupt. everything venus stood for was destroyed by one guy and one recording. everything silkroad had known was revolted back to the start. if they were legit there would have been no problem.
i think any1 who contributed to the hide up just led the lies from the avalon followers and they lost the fort because they got exposed and every1 decided that there wasnt a point and either botted quit or left avalon and created weaker(at the time) guilds.

Make sure they all buy premium.

It wouldn't be worth it. My wife and I are never online. Recently I started playing for like 20 minutes in the morning before work (4AM Eastern) just to check out the event, but I'm extremely extremely inactive. You'd really be the only guildie online ever. I might try recruiting if we actually get back into the game.

Now let's not get carried away with another Fly/nightbloom flame fest and end up having a locked topic... :p

In my opinion (for what it's worth) it doesn't really matter if Fly and nightbloom botted on Xian or not. As long as they stayed legit on Venus, and didn't return to Xian, that's all that matters. They helped build a legit server (there will always be SOME bots), and I think they did a great job at it. There will always be people who don't like a leader, or have problems with how they run the show.

still staying most loyal to the old venus confed rules except that I join taxi's because im leveling a new character =D
