Anyone play?
I've played this for some years, but my first main account got hacked, blame that on myself, and then I started when Europe came out and it's great.
For those of you who don't know, it's an MMORPG that takes place in ancient china/cruade era. You can make chinese or european characters, customize them, weapons, clothing, etc. Then there are classes and skills and the usuall mmorpg things.
Unique to this is the hunter/thief/merchant jobs. It is the silk road so you can trade and rob and stuff.
Europe is more party oriented and it pays off when you play with friends and the sort.
There used to be alot of bots and it was impossible to log in, but now it's better and the only time you might get disconnected while trying to log in due to server traffic would be in the morning hours of est. Around that time, because that's when both poeple from the US and Europe play.
If you do play/plan on playing, do so on the Oasis server.
There is a Bs| (unnoficial) there, [Black_Squad] that you're all more than welcome to join. So far it has only people from the real Bs| and some friends of mine.
Anyways, here's the site http://www.silkroadonline.net so go ahead, try it out, it's all free and get into it!
If I play any 2 games it's silk road online and freelancer, it's a great game!

always wondered how is the leveling in that game, slow and boring one hellova grind or fast and easy to get into the good stuff?
Silkroad Online - sn!p3r - 07-21-2008
played til i got to lvl 10, then stopped for some reason.. really nice game though, laggy at times but good.
Silkroad Online - Horon - 07-21-2008
It depends really. The grinding is medium slow.
Silkroad Online - Heartless - 07-21-2008
it's not as laggy as it used to be, alot less bots.
Leveling up can take a while, I get about .05 per kill now. But that's why party play is important and the game as party monsters, champions, and giants that get you more exp. Plus quests.
And that's why I'm offering free powerleveling/grinding/whateveryoucallit to whomever joins Black_Squad and stays in it.:)
I'm lvl 35 right now, so you have to be at least 15 to get anything out of it, the game has a 20 level limit, if not, you get a punishment, probably in order to ensure that grinding is at a minimum.

I play on Oasis already, hmm weird, level 70 int hybrid spear. =P
I also play on Troy
But the grinding is awesome if you get in a good party with a mix of Euro/Chinese chars. You need tankers (or just one) and DD (wizard/nukers) and a cleric (healing duh) and a few bards (so you can get dance skill, and bards can give you mp.) If you get this kind of party mobs die really fast and you never have to use a single pot cause bards replenish mp and clerics replenish hp, you set! and once u get in the groove its great xp. Yes, grinding solo is boring and takes FOREVER get in a good guild with the same level people and you will level fast.
Also, powerleveling levels you fast, but usually it costs money, and if your not paying (someone in ur guild is doing it or something) they usually get bored and quit after an hour or two lol.
At times you cant get in your server very easy because of high server activity. It depends on the time of day.
Bots used to be a problem but they do bot bans every week now...sadly these bot bans are really only gold bots, player bots generally dont get banned, which is kinda a conspiracy because usually player bots buy things from the "joymax store" and i dont think they will ban any paying customers...
Overall this is my favorite mmorpg, the addition of a few things such as trading, thieving, and hunting adds an element to the game that no other game has.
Thats my review of things hehe.

My char on oasis is named Glaxier, i dont have a guild currently and i dont play on him atm, but maybe in a week or two i could hook up with you (im really trying to get my euro cleric/bard on troy up to atleast level 52, its at 42 atm), id love to help out ur guild.
Silkroad Online - Heartless - 07-22-2008
ok, sweet.
Whatever works, for now I have "join only with 1 of your characters" policy so we can get as many people in as possible.
I'll add you as a friends once I get on.
What's your European guy's name?
Silkroad Online - sn!p3r - 07-22-2008
I may start playing again, whats the server your guild plays most on?
