Silkroad Online Forums

Yes.. It's official. Im quitting Silk Road Online. I wasnt going to make a big, "Im QUITTING now, beg me to stay" thread, but I do want everyone to know where I am going.

Heaven. LOL

Think of all the things you hate about SRO.....

Crowded Servers - Granado Espada has channeled servers. Someone in your leveling space? Change to a different channel.
Stalls everywhere - GE has an auction house AND stalls, take your pick
Boring quests - GE has VERY diverse quests, personal missions, dungeons that are HUGE.
Limited map - Ge has a massive map
Updates - GE starts with a level cap of over a hundred. Its gonna take a while to need an update, but guess what? They are already planned.
No Customer Service - OMG YES, they got that. A real Community Manager too! (<3 Hrin)
No GMs - Not only do they ahve GMs in game, but when there is a problem, they fix it FAST.
Boring game play - Not just another grind fest in GE. You got three chars at once and its not as hard as it sounds. You can also recruit (via quests) NPC players and play them with your team.
Group leveling - Either way is easy, take your pic.
Great Graphics - No more mitten hands, weapons that arent touching your hand or octagon bushes. These chars change expression and blink. You can also costume them, change poses, etc.
Limited skills - You can chose from many different stances, each class has several they can specialize in. I havent seen a single skill animation recycled yet.
Bugs - I havent been DCed once, seen a single buggy anything so far. There was a slight issue with an exploit, but they cleaned that up immediately with a ten minute server inspection.
Nothing to do but look at camel ass for an hour - Crafting, questing, dungeons, etc. They have whole server war events which are already scheduled.
Not really FREE - Yes, GE is free with item mall. It isnt implemented yet, but most of the stuff is fluffy costume stuff.

This is literally everything I hated about SRO, fixed.

If anyone from JM ever reads this, I hope you realize what you are losing. Gaming companies are learning from mistakes like yours and they know what we want. Even if GE isnt perfect, its better. And it wont be the only game. More will come and ppl will leave SRO and you wont have to worry about selling stupid pigs and special ways to log in.

Oh yeah, did I mention you can log on GE on the first try?

Ill still be lurking in off topic and maybe the artists' corner. If you do join GE, my family name is nightbloom on server Cervantes. TheEMPIRE guild is up and running strong.

GE? Let me come with you!!! >.<

You make it sound so good... but 3 gb download + not-so-good pc ahhgg it will kill me... i might try though...

First day there... Playing with poses. lol


lightning skills look so cool and that Elementalist is SMEKSI aint she?


This morning, training with the faction. Im 32 now, so leveling isnt too hard.

Must not touch item mall...

Edit: This is "another" quitting thread. Just has shameless advertising of a better game in it.

Hush. I hated SRO but couldnt find a better game. I hardly played.

Even Fly left for GE, so that should tell you something. I have made him try at least 25 games in the last 6 months. He wouldnt leave. One day in GE and he was hooked. lol He liked the guild and party system.

Once you get in a squad, you stay in it, even if you log off the game. You dont leave it till you are kicked or quit it. Even if you change channels. And the guild system is cool too. I can see when everyone last logged on, give them co-leadership, see their location on the map, etc...

You're making me jealous that I can't play yet.

As my good buddy Arnold says it "you'll be bock"

Being as how I havent actually played SRO for 2 months, I doubt it. I stalled and surfed the web cause Fly wouldnt leave. LOL I cant go play some game and leave him here!

Nah, the existence of TE in sro is pretty much over.

lol, he'll follow, and I might just have to take a look at this game you speak of.


I love your sigs BTW Joey. haha

Look below my sig. ;p

I've actually heard good things about GE. Maybe I'll check it out when my GT runs out in a week. GL to ya though!

I played Cabal for a month and he didnt speak to me for a week because of it. LOL I played Last Chaos for a little bit, but he logged on once and wouldnt come back. He is stubborn and loyal. He also knew I was miserable cause SRO suked so bad, but I wouldnt leave him here. It took one hell of a game to get him out.

Go look at it, play to level 20. It's complicated at first, cause you got three chars and dungeons and quests and stances... It's a lot to take in and understand at first, especially cause SRO is so simplistic.

OMFG I'm so going to play GE.

=o yeah ive went to GE site... well the download is quite big.. and the download links r seperated into many parts, just wondering if i can put some parts into my thumbdrive.. the size is like too big...

well, i also seen the TV advertisement of GE in singapore.. so cool...
and if u search youtube, they even had GE MTV ;p... 2 taiwan singers.. duh???

NB.. ca i go over there and join you if i ever feel like quitting SRO?
well the fly u claim is the one whose from amaglam? or the buyer whu got it from fly amaglam and got itself ban??? =X

Just wondering what your comp specs are nightbloom. I wanna play this game but I dunno if my P4, 512 ram and FX 5200 will hold down this game to well.

Thanks

I have been looking at that game for a few weeks now. I am thinking aobut quitting SRO for it. After reading most of the guides it does seem FUN. Unlike SRO which was more of a task.

Though one thing does scare me



Is it just me...or does that sound like a trippy way of botting?? lol

Though the idea that u can log in every time sounds way too good to pass up. This might be my new addiction for the year lol. I guess i will have to wait 4 days, get my pc back, dl it and see how it goes.

Sounds a bit like one of my good friends, whenever I'm in search of a new game, I HAVE to bring him along lol. I dont think he has ever stopped talking to me from joining a different game though, lol.

Yea TE in sro is pretty much just me and penguin now.

Forget sro you bitch! Come GE. Even I'm going, and I hate starting new games.

I'll get there when I get there! lol.

I'm not "quitting" sro though, I wanna use those new skills damit.

No offense but, thats the first thing I looked at. I rather ask people about their experience with the game, seeing as 75% of the time the specs the makers say are meant to play in the game in lowest possible res with lowest possible graphics.

hmm dunno why.. i prefer games with 1 char.. just find it strange ppl control 3 person but thats part of the game attraction.. extreme AI, just like playing rpg ps2 games...?

however, the graphics ownz and got awards for that

No offense taken ^^ you wanted to know something related to the specs, and i just tried to help hehe

The graphics DO own. I hate cartoony games so that left out WOW and GW. This one is NOT cartoony.

DARK YOU NOOB!!!! Leave me for months and months, come back and desert me TWICE!!!! I dont think you love me anymore.

Thanks to Passion and Areis, I got plenty of RAM. My comp was fairly new but only had 512 mb. I got 2 g now. lol

No i'm not~ I don't have someone to give me free ram! lol So if it don't work theres nothin I can do, my pc is old and slow, I just haven't tried it yet.

Sounds like a fun game too.. =)

I think I'll check it out.

edit::

I've just your screens. You HAVE to ask Fly to marry you again but this time in GE! Hugg <3

What are you waiting for, JoyMax customer service? (AKA Hell freezing over?)


Fly and I are already married!!! LOL We might have to "renew" our gaming vows tho, huh?
