How many other servers can you find 80+ ppl who randomly walks up to you and hands your party 3mil?

I had to LOL on this thread really.

1. Check the party matching before stating something like this.
5-6 Pages of parties constantly in pt match, 80% of them are Euro (8men/SHARE of course) since Venus is euro based server.

2. Venus isn't like every other server. You need to know the specific grinding places/mobs and check them before stating that it's a dead server.
Legits on Venus stick to a universal grinding schedule for leveling.
More info here: Euro party leveling spots

3. Jobbing (having fun when you're bored of grinding all the time)
More info here: Epic Trade Runs

4. 24/7 Bot Traps / Making botters miserable as much as we can. *cough Albel cough*

5. PvP is at South Samarkand, of course, since Venus is mostly Euro.

Welcome to Venus Airlines!
If you play this game like it's meant to be played (Legit)... We offer you a smooth trip.
If you plan to bot on Venus... you gonna experience Turbulence and possibly crash. GG

Last time when i opened party matching i saw 50% of plvling parties

Yea, Venus is boring.

even in the days Greece was great
i had never seen 6 pages of pt's before
and i just saw that yesterday >.>
Venus has around half of the pop of an old server right?
but Venus has around twice the same number of pts?
erm, what?

Of course people form Venus will state their server is the best, even though you think in a different way, in my opinion everyone that really loves the game and started in XXX server will always have some sort of "connection" to it and when they leave for X reason they will feel nostalgic, of course this only apply to older player, i can say this by own experience.

Now, why does some players feel like going to Venus? (only happens in SRF) Its because of the amazing "publicity" Avalon and BHA guys has made, and we cant deny they have done a good job in giving Bots a hard time, but most of the player that feel attracted to this kind of "publicity" are only new players (Which is not bad). Anyways i hope at least some get my point, you do what you want to do and if you feel ok, then it's ok.

Good luck to Venus dudes.

This is from someone who was in babel forever.

Venus is HEAVEN.

I love being a noob because people accept my noobiness without judging me. There are not a lot of people that asked to be power leveled. They do not beg for gold.

I love my new guild there. OVERKILL (I am in the 4th one o.0).

Oh, and thanks nightbloom for help me make my first million :o).

this is PURE wrong

Publicity? Fck publicity. I went to Venus because all my friends on Alexander quit the game. They were the reason I kept playing on that server. The day Venus came out I made a hybrid s/s, I didn't even know Fly and NB were on the server until I heard about their guild war. Been playing since February of 07 and you know what? Fck Alexander. Venus may be European based (personally I prefer glaivers to all builds) but its a nice server with real people. Even after Utopia opens, I'll still be on Venus with Asylum.

FYI, It makes me really happy when newcomers to the game say Venus is the first server where they were treated like an equal instead of a noob. Where they were accepted and instead of being guildless the next day, they still had a tag over their head.

The Journey > The Destination. On Venus you can Enjoy the Journey the way its meant to be.

Oasis has loads people pvping at Donwhang AND Samarkand too.

We also have 4-5 pages of parties constantly too..not a big deal.


What other reasons make Venus so great?


EDIT: 6 pages of parties now.

i wish there was more jobbing....like how the old servers used to be....

Does that mean any capped player dominates?

Does that mean any capped player dominates?

btw don't lie, Venus party match is 15%Dist parties 75%Taxi parties and 10%Legit Share Pts

look venus is the best server all the ohter servers suck venus has many legits strong legit unions and its fun if u arnt in bha,avalon,overkill and blade u wont rly find much pts and its a grwat server IMO i hate how ppl just vist a server and assume its dead

Well if you look at it like that Venus is pretty dead, I mean there are not few high levels, I reckon there is over 50 70+ players and these players dont use their reputation to set up guilds unions and to help other people because when you leave the two unions you are out on your own.


You say there would be tons of drama between the legits but yet I get repremanded and leave the guild because I was making drama between legits... kinda contradictory.

You say there was like 1 trade a month when you take into account the life of the server. And even then if Avalon go on a trade nobody can rob it, so it is kinda boring and pointless really.

And as far as pvp goes, its a euro server so if you are chinese you are irelavent and you might as well not go pvp. And when Euros go and pvp it is just a skin or bless fight so realy boring to watch.


My point is that Venus is an all round boring server, the people that run it make it out to be better than it is. If you want a solid server with action all the time I would not recomend Venus, it is a dead server in that regard. If you want a sever where there arent that many people, were there are people you can talk to then venus might be your choice. But SRO is not a chat game its a pvp game its all about your level, gears and skills its not about who you can chat with.

Venus like everybody says is not like any other server, and in my eyes that is a bad thing, it is lacking in many areas and the thing that it has over all other and that is a large number of legits, doesnt make up for the places that it is lacking in. Many of the legits are noobs who dont realy know what they are doing or are low level, these are not the type of people that make a server worth moving too and just act as simple clutter in the server.

But the thing that showed me that its not a good server, is that if I a solo grinding chinese can out level most bots and euros then the server doesnt realy have much to offer.

Lol. In the old servers being capped means domination. Having Sun means supreme power. On Venus there is a lack of mid level trade runs worth robbing but its like that on most servers.

Its either A massive Alliance run (and robbing one of those is just asking for shit) or A <40 level trader running one star. Then like other servers they go Hunter the moment they hit 40, some stay trader but they don't go trading unless its a Union run.

So we have:
A lot of trades that can't be robbed.

Capped players don't dominate.

Something from SRA:

You cant claim an opinion to be wrong.
The difference between Venus and other servers are that Venus has low lvl legits that aren't gold bots. More legits, less total real players. Meaning other servers have lots of player bots with some legits making the overall population high while Venus only has legits with few bots. Just depends on how you like to play the game.
If you like pvp, jobbing, guild wars to be only capped players older servers are better for you. If you like people to grind with then Venus...
Every older server has only capped players. Theres no room for anyone else. Meaning you need to be determined or on the server since practically the beginning.
