Silkroad Online Forums

I heard this from the website.

Any news about its name, or exact date it'll be up?

there needs to be more servers or bigger ones cause after i started playin on Greece (newest one)think its called greece lol, server it was just populated but now i cant even log on to any of em, it has been almost a week since i have played at all due to the fact that all the servers are always full and what not, but as long as there is a new server coming out then im not complaining (much) but cant wait for new server.

What I think is that Joymax is running into a problem with the free game and buy special items gig. Massive amouts of people will want to play a free game (don't get me wrong I am one of them once I get a pay check some of it will be going into SRO.) But a minority of them will not be able to (or want to) pay for a free game. So the servers will get more and more crowded but the servers will not be able to be opened as quickly as people would like to ease the growing pangs that the game is currently experiancing.

Yes, I am just as frustrated with logging in as everyone else, I think I have a character on almost every server.

I know how you feel, and I'll probably invest in the item mall sooner or later .

What I think JoyMax should introduce is a system where you pay for a reserved slot on the server of your choice, so people who pay never have to worry about it taking forever to log in. That would rule.

It's a free game thus everyone should be treated equally otherwise it would be 'pay-or-we-don't-give-a-rat-a$$-about-you' game.

It has been discussed about how Joymax should handle the login process. A queue should be implemented so at least people know when they can get in.

Horray for new server!

Well, it would be more like pay and you get less frustration, which is fair enough. A lot of people would be content with trying to login a lot, but some people want the comfort of not having to wait half an hour. I know I'd pay.

at any rate, I'm pretty hyped for the new server. Got a new build all figured out, and how long I'm gonna SP farm for, etc. New server = new chance for me!

what i think every1 should do is email silkroad all at one go, so they will be constantly bombarded with emails sayin: "im gonna stop paying and playing if u dnt increase your server sizes" or "increase the space cause im sick of blah blah blah!"
that way they will be under major pressure and thy will just have to increase the sizes!! unless they r such huge a$$holes

Dude, you can't say they're assholes. They made a FREE game for us, which rocks. It's not their fault, and is in fact to their credit that the game has become so popular. This is just another issue that they will have to address.

it would be nice if they upgraded the servers to hold more people but that cost money and since its a free game i dont think they would do that so getting another server is just as good in my book

i cant understand how you ppl get so frustrated ???

today, i tried to connect once; diconnected.
the 2nd time i got in and played for few hours lag lessly
the servers are way better since the update.

We should also do quests that could expand server capacity...lolz^^
it would be great if it's as easy as that=p

Dude, you're 100% correct.

Pay for slot is a *sorry* dumb idea.

Queue system would be just, perfect. You could cry about the server capacity, but at least you'd be there.. queued, waiting your time. Queue system is the most fair system for low capacity users servers.

Then people would get on the queue and leave there computer then when they get in to the game then take a play space but don't do anything. That would cause someone waiting in the queue that would be there to play to have to wait. Then if they start to kick AFK players then they should kick all of the AFK stallers too so that people wont just open a stall to hold there space. I would say update the existing servers to hold more players rather then opening too many more of them unless players can move characters from one server to another the crowding on the old servers wont get too much better.

hmm i don't know about you guys, but i'm moving to the new one as soon as it opens up ^_^ have fun!

oh btw i'm new at the forums so welcome me! =)

Who said that you are welcome

gosh O_o arent you stingy?
He is welcome

That was just a joke Of course is he welcome.

any word yet on any date?

Hopefully sometime this week or the next one perhaps. As they said, "early" July.

Lets hope it Im starting up there as soon as it is online

Although I am going on vacation wednesday for 14 days. so maybe i cant make it OR maybe I will just play from my Vacation spot

A better stall system would resolve half the bs.

Countless people no longer standing around doing nothing.

A dream so distant in our future

Well, Im a little splitted about stalls.

My one half thinks its ok to set up a stall and then go to sleep, and my other half says, that it would just take up a space from someone willing to play...

If people couldnt leave their stall and go to sleep, we would have a lot fewer stalls and a much more hard time finding oúr special items.

Dont know how to solve it though.. any suggestions?

hmm, maybe in the correct thread

there is a simple solution, after X amount of mins/hours they get kicked if no movement is made

is this just now?

the servers are really crowded, something needs to be done, and opening new servers wont make people move..they will also have to raise lvl cap, at least at xian its all screwed up now, theirs more 64+ers then 1xers out there, there will be no room in caves in about 2weeks at all


and btw, this is not a free game, sure its free if u want it to be, but the higher lvl you are the more stuff you need from itemmall

lets say just a monkey and goldticket is about 250silk thats 25dollars, is that a free game?

probably the most expensive game i've played so far^^
