Silkroad Online Forums

yeah something like that.

i cant remeber exactly. i about died when i read it. it was the most i had seen a mod, on that forum, type in my life.

+1

wait the people who are with him know him through the internet? and not real life?

Dont have any doubts that you were a GM from silkroad. Of course, there is a lot of questions that all the silkroad community would like to get a answer.

I only have one: Is it possible that they will do exactly the same to other versions of silkroad online, like the kSRO or cSRO? I mean, could I kept playing cSRO and enjoy more than iSRO or is only a matter of time before it turns as bad as iSRO?

If you want give only your personal opinion in this, without talking about the company. Wish you the best of luck with your real life, is more than time to move on.

I dont believe you worked for Joymax.

dude enough with this type of posts, if there isnt enough evidence for you open your eyes then

after looking over preds old posts, i can say i have never seen the word MORON used more in my life. if this isnt the true sign of a bitter MD, i dont know what is. LOL.

hehe Bri enjoy the next days off..dont play too much Guitar Hero or wreck your RX. Enjoy the cali sun.

I will be checking out soon how you like your new job
And continue to ignore the ignorent.

btw: where lies the future of GazettE

oh yeah Pred, i think you can say your opinion, it wouldn't be vs your old job's contract... i hope you can tell us some stuff about the future of the game or something...

Good luck ^^

There are plenty of things that could go on in a company that you can't talk about after leaving. One thing that comes to mind is Classified information. If I work for the US Government on a Classified project, then leave employment, do you honestly think the Government wouldn't come after me if I revealed that information?

Same with a private company. If I work on proprietary stuff, then leave employment, I can't share that information with other people just because I left.

It depends on the contract. I'm sure Pred could tell us about the water cooler on the third floor of the office, and how people like to leave their used cups on top of it, but he may not be able to discuss actual company operations as per documents like Non-Disclosure Agreements.

Oh great, now I can only imagine Joymax all working with duck tape over their noses x.x

LOL... this exploded before I caught it.

I was going to say that if you were in these forums even 4 months, like myself, you would still realize Pred was an employee, especially when he argues about JMs views on things.

I don't know how crumpets didn't know it being here for much longer than me, but it was pretty obvious if you ask me.

Well, Pred gets cool points for wearing eyeliner and playing guitar...and looking too young to not be asian. Haha, jks, jks. Have fun with your next job.

where*

I am confused, were a real GM? (One of the morningdew(s)?)

lol do you only read the last page of this topic?
Start at page 1 and you know.

Good luck Pred with whatever you move on to.

I feel sorry that you even worked for such a sucky company... SRO would have been a good game but due to VERY poor company running it the game has gone completely down hill. The first day i launched the game and played and could never log on i deleted it and went to CSRO. Its so much better and its only a matter of time anyways before ISRO falls which i count the days.

But hopefully whatever next job you take on Pred it will be for a better company or at least i pray its not as bad a Joymax. The only fun on SRO was talking to you on the forums even though it was annoying waiting like ten minutes after only posting one thing...

Anyways thanks for all the positive and negative comments.

Whatever you decide to believe, I only have to believe in myself. The next game company I will be moving too is already 10x better than Joymax. If you would like to know which company it is, I can tell you at a later date when it's official. And yes I will be back with Mary.

I just hope you realize how limited my power was. All companies have structure. GM is pretty much at the bottom of the food chain and treated like an expendable asset. The company chooses what it values most. Which in every company is money. Businesses are run to make profit. The more profit they make, the more they will invest in the company to make more money. Makes sense right? So anyways some companies change direction. They change their marketing models. I did not fit that model.

But truthfully, I probably got fired because I was late. I was late everyday to work because frankly I didn't give a shit about this game or company any longer. Milking the money rolling in to pay off my car was the only motivation I had.

Some answered questions:
"Did you write Crowded Servers are a good thing" - No I did not. In fact, the person who wrote it also reads this forum. His will come fourth and reveal himself when he's ready. He actually got into a lot of trouble for that.

"Is it possible that they will do exactly the same to other versions of silkroad online, like the kSRO or cSRO? I mean, could I kept playing cSRO and enjoy more than iSRO or is only a matter of time before it turns as bad as iSRO?" - Those versions of the game were sold to other publishing companies. So if you think that Joymax is going to sell the gaming rights to an American company, the answer is I don't know. It would be nice though. Joymax is a development company. New to customer service. Which is why well... there is none. The point of the USA office was to establish customer service. Since when did a player ever receive such thing? This is pretty much why I stopped caring.

"btw: where lies the future of GazettE" - I don't know old buddy. I can still log into the game or abuse the game. For those of you that don't know, GazettE is my guild on Xian server.

For anyone who had questions about Gold Bots, Bots in general... well you all should know the answer to that yourselves.

lul oops?


lol can't believe I talked shit to morningdew over msn ._.

I blame noelle <_<

well good luck

Yeah. I was so close to banning your account's it wasn't even funny. Your lucky I never abuse my power.

BTW, I still get more girls than you ever will. And Noelle was also constantly messaging me after. Up until the point where I blocked her (or him).

Hello everyone I am Shan an employee of Joymax and speaking out to back my former coworker and friend Brian,

Proof

http://rpgvault.ign.com/articles/828/828572p1.html
Our names listed in the interview mine is Shan.

my myspace page with a pic from GNG posted by the users and other pics of me.
http://www.myspace.com/shan_is_the_man

and Key-J can back me up I told him the truth all the time.

No I don't think im hot shit,
I'm Not.
And none of us think this at the iSRO office, it's just a job. But originally me and Brian had a passion for SRO and wanted to make a difference. I applied for the job because I wanted to be a GM to help the players out for once (I have been playing SRO since beta). So we get excited talking to players on the forum and fansite’s and it is not some undercover thing. Most things we did for the company was more than asked for. We all tried hard, I know I did.

Though being a lil young and still fresh in college at the time when I first started a year ago I was naive and some of my posts on the official forum reflected that such as the crowded servers is a good thing post. I was so let down when my company told me it was better to have Prem tickets and new servers (Shards) then to ban bots and I tried my best to be honest in a positive way, I failed.

The truth killed my world of SRO and hurt you guys more. Sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings and for the people I couldn’t help which was most, I had no power no matter how hard I tried.

I had fun at GNGWC but it made me feel terrible to see the many ppl come complaining to me and all I could think about was giving them a hug because I couldn’t bring back there hacked character or ban the bots for them. All I could do was my job and it was less than shit to help the players out, to help you guys out.

We will all miss Brian up in the office he was apart of the original team who had thought like me that we were going to actually improve the games service.

Near the change of management from Mary to June things went downhill and projects delayed, services changed, and the phrase “things are getting better” was abused. Now I am quitting soon done with the BS to focus on college and

Brian is gone
Coffeguy gone (Name left out)
Mary gone and had left earlier for good reasons before it all started to crash down.


I represented Joymax as one of the morningdew's/ladyasiana but the name and the original GM for iSRO office was Mary which is why morningdew gets the confused female persona all the time. I am leaving because I can’t do my job, and are things getting better? Do ppl from Joymax still care and want to make SRO a better game? Yes they do. Will they or can they? I honestly don’t know.

I write too much similar to my old posts on the official forum always trying to express more then necessary, but with good reason.
When is the 90 cap coming? Not today and not tomorrow. Will bots be banned? You know the answer to that – “things are getting better.”

Peace and love guys,

-Shan

Haven't seen you post in a while now. Good luck with college, and I know it was a pain to work for JM ._. but thanks for trying.

Shan and Pred:

One bitter and cynical, the other sad and regretful. Both confirm that as a company, JM won't do shit for its players. Glad I quit. Thanks for the help that you guys provided. I'm sorry JM is a shit company. I've worked for many shit companies and now work for myself. I hope that in your next jobs you will be able to function at the level you both seem desperately to want to. Good luck.

Guess I have to come clean to. I am GM.

is it xmas?

I agree, and I feel that is how it is in ALL businesses. Including myself.


As for that, you're the one who kept killing me in one shit (lvl 77 Hybrid Int spear) months ago on Athens, and when I kept cursing at you for going invisible you'd only write "lol".

=(

There we go.

As many of you know Shan, the infamous half black/white guy with the silk tie @ GNG, he is a great friend to me. We are apart of the original staff which created the USA Office.

Basically out with the old, in with the ________?

I hope many of you can make a rational decision of where your future of Silkroad lies.

lol, sorry i had to start this post with a lol but i think it was a fun read. At 1st i did not believe Pedro was a X-GM but after some evidence and the support of the Admins and Mods of this forums, it seems liek he was indeed the guy we are looking for (LOL). I do not have much to say about this game and yes i believe this game will die very soon, this game is full of bots, so i ask you , what is the point of wasting your money and time on a game which is 95% bots 5% leets. The answer is, there is none. Yes i hate JM and i hate the GM's, no offense Pedro, you had it comming, I feel you as a GM, who is suppsoe to look after the damn fuc*ing game and its fellow players did not do your duties and ignored US to the fullest. YES I KNOW all bout the contracts with a company and shitz, but that excuse will not save you, from the bashing you and all the other damn JM slaves deserve. You should accept it and get a real job, maybe even go back to college. I got fed up with this dam compnay and called it quits, along with it many chargebacks, i got 75% of my money back, thank you paypal. I hope JM and its San JOse office burns down to the ground and all these players that blieves that this game will live, come to realization and figures out that this is all a scam. It is a way for them to make a HUGE amount of money from us idiotic Americans and those sad Kuwaities. Well Pedro its good to see you go, the faster you workers get fired or quit the faster JM dies and all these kids/people can grow up to become better people and get some fresh air. GL all with your quest to make SRO a better game and I will be here to see your Dreams get buried.lol. Buy more SILK, remeber support this dead game <3 ....Out

Lol, everyone said he was ladyasina or whatever the GM's name is.

Btw, did you meet some of the GM's?

Thanks Ammo, but I ain't Mexican.

Funny thing is, we are all film majors. Some films we have created have been posted on this forum before.

Meet the GMs? Of course I did. I was the ONLY employee to go to Korea. Which is why I know their names, contact information, what they look like. I have special things from Joymax which I have posted pictures of but still no one believed. So it's ok. Believe what you want.
