Silkroad Online Forums

i just did a CTF... i saw only turks.
one was a bard who popped up 1 minute before the end, after we spent 15 minutes chasing the other team around... nobody of both teams ever had a moving march on in the whole game.

the good thing tho is if you get DC'd in the game it gives you like a 5-10 minute window to relog with no queue waiting

AION is still young, give it 6 mths or so.
Then we will know if its really good.
In terms of service and gameplay.
Everything ppl say now are pretty much biased.

Those who stay SRO will fck AION n laugh at em.
N vice versa.
One thing good abt AION is... its P2P.
Srsly... I prefer P2P.

Agree 100%. If SRO was P2P it would (more then likely) be much different (but probably not due to JM)

the pvp in aion sucks.. just imo

i think with Aion its biased because it is P2P
i dont care what any1 says a subscription game is expensive.. it will draw you in and cost you a lot more then you would pay for a normal game.

Give Aion till january and we will truely see what happens. i just think that it will go 2 shit. i dno why just a funny feeling... i dont think they will be as consistant as blizzard who put a lot of effort into the game to get it to where it is today...
sorry Aion lovers but i just dont believe it.

You only get login lines on the higher populated servers. If u dont want those go to lower population servers, duh


BigRed is now on aion =)

What is the cost for normal game? I thought f2p games go the way you said. But, p2p games?

The only thing I can see aion failing hard is if they go as trashy as JM and won't do anything about botting/gold botting in NA/EU servers.

Blizzard can put effort as they are having good profit and yes, they do things properly. It gets so many subs partly due to being so easy to get most of the thing you want. Not many people from western gaming community want to grind which is something Aion would have to improve on over time as well. WoW was a lot more grindy than now when it first came out and continued to be like that for a while.

Another thing is that you don't need to compare every game with WoW in game play or in subs numbers to consider the game successful. NCsoft put 3 majors updates in 8 months and have been regulary patching the game with small updates for class balancings and improving stuff/features in the game. Since they are going strong in asia for now, money for going futher developing the game isn't a problem for them atm. Whether they will keep doing it or not is there to see. All the signs so far have been not too bad at all though.

hmmm youll be suprised how mad people can get if somethings not fixxed. you really will.

and p2p like... prescription.
new game roughly £40
AION £29. + £10 a month roughly..

so if you dont get like a high level and enjoy your time by then its more then £40. so its more expensive then say... cod:mw2 or ODST or w.e... thats why i think its expensive...

you shouldnt need to pay to have fun. just a rule i live by

The game hasn't even officialy started and its just the first week of headstart. It will get better. What did you guys expect? NCsoft arent psychichs who know exactly how many that are gonna play and how many server slots are needed. It will get better.

agreed lets just not talk about it for a few months

Aion is run by Koreans.
Koreans are greedy n impatient when it comes to running an MMO.
If that hasn't change, we are very likely to see more things to complain about it.

MMO started as P2P back in the time when MMO started,
F2P flourish the industry and the idea was Korean,
With F2P comes sluggish services,
Since the introduction of F2P, almost all new games from Korea are F2P since.

1 thing we have to know tho,
Aion is the 1st that went back to P2P, for a game with such hype.

I'd rather p2p and know how long or when i will get into the server than sit with a shitty scroll bar going backwards and forwards and guessing how long i'll get in. Not counting that half the time the thing stops going so you have to restart the client.

I could buy a premium ticket but to still deal with only to grind, grind, and grind again. No story mode, quests are lame, and nothing that even follows a "Silkroad" story. The PVP System sucks its versus people that have spammed the POP system or bought gold to buy top gear. People begging for 10k plss or exchange spam when stepping outsite of the gate, random disconnects as your walking or stalling.. Uncontrolable amount of spam bots and gold bots with no ACTIVE GM's. The towns are suppost to be the best part of the game to chat, but you can't even chat inside the town.

I could go on but right now Aion trumps Silkroad gameplay and login times, GM Response and updates that are successful not half assed done like Joymax were either your login security is compromised or a new patch or update has faults (almost everyone of those).


The reason the game isn't P2P is because Joymax suck at producing the game, the code has most likely been done by so many different people that have worked and quit Joymax. The CA office of Joymax had staff that posted on here on how the regular routine day went. If that isn't enough to show you the past and future of how Joymax works then your just too addicted in the game to realize the game is shit.

And none of facts are based on Silkroad if it was successful or handled by a better company. Joymax have casted a cloud that has showed me how they want us to play the game. They should of taken action against the bots years ago yes (YEARS AGO).

For those still playing and defending Silkroad well one can only imagine what your doing.

Nothing personal but out of the 4 years of experience with Silkroad i know the things i loved and hated about the game. There was more hate then love and when that happens why continue playing something you hate. Silkroad was my first MMO hated wow, and ever since i have started playing Aion it brings back good memory's because things are similar.

NCsoft games are mostly p2p in western releases except for guild war?

Aion is 14.99 USD a month but u can order longer subscriptions at a discount, i got a 6 month and that came to like 13 something a month I hope they can keep things under control for the most part, but I am already getting whispers from spambots. At least they have really editable macro functions so we can spam them back , I gotta learn how to do that.

nawwwwwwwwwww

To anyone paying $15 or more in silks for silkroad a month, come to aion.
I basically played all day today, and it's so Farking fun. Never had as much fun in silkroad.. ever, even when silkroad was good.
Best MMO I've ever played.
But, there were gold spammers (Big shock ).. I reported them (others probably did too) and they were gone in less than 20 minutes. If NCsoft stays on the ball like they are now it'll be ohsogood.. if not, /suicidebombing nccorp.
Stunning graphics, great controls, quests that actually make sense and have a story.. (Not going out to kill 1500 flowers, three times repeatable. >_>)

Not spending another penny on SRO. Might log in for giggles.. or might just give my stuff away.

Thats sounds fun... lol
but no... not moving xD
Not enough time on MMO anyways.

Yup, mmos are usually huge cash cows for the developers. For me sro has been f2p since october 08 but every month lots of people spend way more than 15$ on it. Thanks to them we still have sro, but also thanks to them JM is what it is.
I rather pay 15$ a month in p2p game and be equal to other players than pay 35$ a month in a f2p game to have all the same boosts as the other players (not even counting what pop suns would cost). I still like SRO but JM has made it too expensive to be on top.

Thing is you get bored of those games quicker than you realize. Considering you've mentioned ODST you're a 360 owner. You pay to use their online services whereas Wii, PSN, and PC does not. (not talking about you owning servers). Yeah Wii may suck and you may dislike the PS3 or even own both, but you're paying to play online. I rarely touch my consoles so paying to play online for a couple days out of the week is just fail.

Just me on your hatred on p2p games.. they end up being cheaper in a way over a 'free to play' game. Aion+years worth = Less than $20 a month.(2hours of working and $20 is nothing nowadays) Compare that to the average 'free' player on MMOs.

Paying for fun? Nonsense! You don't need to pay, but the better things in life do require money.

But that's what I think.



This.

im not a xbox owner... i hav a nintendo wii i love nintendo! fan of the zelda series. die hard fan.

the problem with games that are p2p and like silkroad when u pay... because i dont hav a job and dont have a income.. when i spend money on things i really geet my moneys worth..
if i payed 1 month for aion.. id have to like it soooooo much otherwise id feel like i didnt get my moneys worth. at least with srou can try before u buy...

theres nothing wrong with aion and im not just saying its crap i just remember how sro was when it was new and gm's cared and it was all good. nice people nice everything. i mean.... if thats the same case for aion then u guys are gna be dissapointed....

and i said odst because its a brand new game and i knew the aprox price lol

Silkroad is free even if you buy something. That game is still free to play no matter what up until they charge to log in. Not talking about premium, because you still can log in without a premium.

I just assumed that you loved your xbox considering the two games you've mentioned.



You could've with the closed beta and open beta that happened recently.

I kinda researched more into the game, the graphics are amazing no doubt, and I like how you can pretty much fly anywhere, but the PVP system looks sooooooooooo dull. I'm sorry but I rather wait for WOW to come out with there new expansion (Cataclysm) where I will be able to fly anywhere anyways.

i dont have a xbox at all. and yea i think it should spark contraversy

I've never played WoW since it never caught my attention. Little offtopic but.. One thing that I've always seen is that people talk about raids, raids, and more raids. They may be fun, but they're boring since some may take less than an hour to a few hours. Not my cup of tea. So I've asked the people in my guild on Aion "What did you normally do most of the time?" The answer was "raiding". Raiding is fun for a few times, but boring later. You know what can happen and what will drop etc etc. I'd rather enjoy the 'boring' PvP in Aion over the boring raiding in WoW.

Coz obviously, the only content in WoW is raiding.

Well, didn't you read the man's post? Obviously raiding is the only content in WoW. jus playin menz oki dun hert meh oki menz.

iMad

Sorry I should've mentioned the 'main' content? I never hear anything about WoW PvP. If you play WoW what do you do most of the time? Just want to know.
