Call it a middle of the night revelation, but this game isnt worth the time, effort, or money. It's over for me folks, I'm going to charge back every possible penny from Joymax, hope they rot in hell, and wish all of you addicts out there the best of luck, and advice...

This game isn't worth it. MMO's are fun, but not this one. This was made for bots and grinders, no- it was made and is for bots. Get out while you can, this game is more harm then good in most aspects.

Peace out.

Going to give my 150mil gold to friends in the next hour, tommorow morning I'm expecting the chargeback inquiry to be opened.

same goes to me, this game sucs,

Another one has learned the lesson

Well, I don't anyone to tell me what to do.

I like this game. Even the grinding I like. The bots of course ..... a lot up, but my friends in this game make it worth every effort I put in this game.

Good luck in life. You will come back

Hmm...

Well, sorry that it had to end like this.

Best of luck to you.

There should be a sticky where everyone can make their sro quitting speech.

There should be a sticky where everyone can post when they come back to sro.

Effort? What effort?

The occasional party grinding and one click of "Auto Train" is not "effort"

Not worth your time, effort and money?

1. Play only when you have nothing more to do
2. This is not a job, you dont have to put effort to the game
3. Don't buy silk

well i like this game ,has great quality and great gameplay but bots are most irri. but anyways i have WoW and i decide to play sro ... But this game has Many advantage aswell do not forgot this lol

Yet another "i want to be capped" minded person.

This game is fun, people need to realize this. Jobbing with mates, even at lower levels is fun. No one said you have to be capped and sun to enjoy it. When me and my old friend were low level thieves half the fun was trying to avoid hunters. I remember once we tried to hide behind a little shrub because we saw one in the distance. The sad part is that "hiding" behind transparent shrubs doesn't save our asses >.<

Back in the 60 cap as a trader, it was so much fun trying to out run and avoid being 1* popped. God i would love for 1* popping to be as easy as it use to be, it was great fun even if i did die once every 4 trades. It made every successful trade more great. The first time i did a solo 5* trade i was lvl 25. It was the hardest thing ever. It was during the 60 cap so there was such an easy chance for me to die. It took 4 hours of running around the longest route possible but i eventually made it. There was nothing more fun than that.

Talking in guild and union chat is great fun as well. I have some great mates on this game, they are the things which keep me from quitting >.>

I only grind when i feel like it. I don't have tickets so i have no obligation to grind anymore. Whenever i can gather up some people for a auto share pt i have great fun doing so. If not i just get lazy and spend most of my days sitting at south gate watching people pvp and just talking in union. Usually im too busy to even fight anyone myself >.<

Want my advice? take a break. I did it for 3 weeks and only than did i realize that the most fun in this game lies in its simple pleasures.

But whatever works for you i guess. Enjoy spending the exact same amount of hours playing another game.

man ..... this game WOULD be fun... cept it is fkd by these cockheads who pay $4 a month to bot to the cap.

Seriously, again I enphasize I am pissed, but hey wtf is up with saying its fun to level with a 500 bizzillion bots in your area.

Granted again, your wit astounds me, I have forgiven myself to the pleasure of booze.

Hf where ever you go...

It's a bot infested game but it IS the game I want to play over any other (free) MMORPG out there, for ever. I will never change permanently to another one.

The game is a grind and I dont really like grinding but I have the time, I dont have to get to the cap and pwn...I can pwn at my lvl too but only with same lvl guys. Isnt it the same? Lol.

Sro FTW. I <3 sro

+1

see you next week

What he said

/cut

Bye. (post count +1)

but we need it tho, it's the painful/depressing truth.

Yeah I'm quitting too...this game is bs!

-edit- Nevermind

I was once like you... I quite SRO in Oct. 06
with 3 chars lvl 61, 40, 30

I put way to much time and $$ into this game.
I got sick of bots and scammers and couldn't figure out why I was even playing.

I was actually cheaper to bot than grind with tickets.

so I quit.

it has been a year and a half since I played
and now they opened Europe!

I installed it yesterday and I am ready to see what europe is about.

Its like a new game for me,only this time I play it to have fun.

playing to be capped is the wrong mindset.
there will always be some cowardly bot maxed out who thinks hes cool.

you just gotta ignore them, if they don't have the patience to grind they would play very long after they cap.

See yea bro

See ya man. I'll expect a Im coming back thread within a month or 2. This game blows all others out of the water. Ive played many others and nonecome close to the fin, playability, and graphics that SRO has.

Stop buying silk, play only when you can(as suggested by Deep) and things will seem better. Ive seen many people leave, but they always come back.

^Yes, believe me, you wont hate this game if you play it only when you want to play. I know some ppl that play SRO even if they dont have mood to play...and that is beginning to hate this game. I mean, if you log in everyday, just to gain some exp, then lvl up...you start to hate all those kser bot's, you start to hate logging in.
I log in, and if i dont feel like 'i want to grind', i'm not doing it, i'm not grinding...i log off or pvp, or job. Sometimes i have two or more weeks breaks from SRO, just because i dont have that playing mood And after those breaks, i grind like a madman, because then even grinding is fun

And those, who say that there is impossible to grind because of bots, i say - liars If i can always find a free grinding spot without boteers, then everybody care. And in my honest opinion, many ppl hate sro with all those botters and ect. just because they taking this game too seriuos. You don't have to play everyday, you dont have to be capped, nobody ban you if you wont reach lvl80 fast.

I play on redsea from time JM opened this server, and i'm only lvl65 I know few players that started with me, and have few lvl80 chars for long time...but i'm just enjoying this game, because i know, that sooner or later i'm gonna be capped player

Just my 2cents

Well said. I couldn't agree more. I do like the simple pleasures of this game. There is plenty for me to do, if I want, if I get tired of grinding. Even grinding can be fun for me. Instead of looking at it as just kill this mob, kill that mob, kill the next... mash 132325235, blah blah... I'm always trying different combinations of attacks, or see how many mobs I can pull in and how fast I can kill them. See what's the most efficient way.

You've just gotta make life interesting, and not just go with the flow or have some insane urge to race to cap. What's the point in racing to cap anyway? When you get there, you'll just beg for a cap raise, then whine and complain about the grind as you race to the next cap.

After I was in the hospital, it has taken me some time to get back into the swing of leveling again. The month I didnt play has been nice, cause it reminds me of the things I really love about sro.

LOL true...usually the people that say they had a revelation and this game isn't worth it are the ones that play like 10 hours a day. If you are playing 10 hours a day then it IS a waste of time. Buy a ticket and play 3 hours a day. Then for the rest of the time just have fun and job or whatever. The game won't get boring that way.

As far as spending tons of money on astrals and stuff...thats your own silly choice. :p We all play this game and we know how it is. It isn't gonna change because like three people decide to play the "legit" way. You could save up that $200 you spend on astrals and just buy some gold to either make or buy nice gear.

Code: Select all

They should make a thread where all the complaining kids can go complain. I like SRO and all these complaining people aren't conducive to a positive gaming experience. Lol, but I do think that there should be a separate forum for people who want to complain so the complaints don't get mixed in with the actual posts that pertain to PLAYING SRO.
