Silkroad Online Forums

An official Taxi service button in-game. This is basically the same concept as the Stall Network where people can see all the items blah blah. Instead, for the taxi service, it will show who is giving the taxi, what level, and where. In this system it will allow players to not get scammed as the transaction only occurs .. and this is where I need help. I want to post it on the website. I don't want to sound big headed or anything but I think I may have given JM insight to the Stall Network in the past because I remember playing Goonzu Online (Economic based MMORPG) and I told them how their item selling system worked. I don't know if it was me that did it but I remember posting it on the forums as a suggestion. They didn't follow the idea completely because in GO you can log off and still sell items.

I think alot of people wouldnt like it coz they dislike taxi ... they call it cheating ...
I'm ok with that tho ...

Wait why is taxi cheating? I just don't like the scamming part of it.

not really cheating, but abusing the euro party system.. i dont think joymax meant to do this system so as to people could get plvled inside a party, so i dont think they would make such a feature

i remember at the update page, when euro was comming it said "share partys are possible with a maximum of 5 levels difference between the highest party member and the lowest party member"

i hope joymax will "fix" it, dont like ppl getting to lvl 80 so fast, or farming so much sp so fast lol >.< the ones who buy gold, get to atleast lvl 72 by plevel, and then think they are cool by "owning" you with their goldbought gear and bought levels.

but as long as its possible, i can understand ppl still buy it though, so easy.

back on topic i dont think its a good idea, since its not how joymax ment it, and its not how i myself like it >.<
but then again thats only my opinion

i haven't even read the idea.

it's no use

no matter how good the idea is

Sadly they haven't fixed that flaw on the other versions . I hope they get to it eventually. They'll make more money if they do it that way

there is a stall network for taxi services, just press the E button and you will see it.

they meant for people to get plvled, you dont think any human could get 2mil+ sp withoutplvl do u? its possible but would take a year or more of just farming

wow u gyz went waaayyyy off topic. i think the taxi button thingy is nice, as ppl cant get scammed (i dont know how though), but overall, i dont like taxis at all. the fact that u dont even know the powerlvler, and that he can scam u, if very easily possible :\. powerlvling, or getting powerlvled by a friend or guildmate is ok, cause there is no money involved (well for mky friends and guildies).

if powerlvling wasn't suppose to be there in the first place, then i wish joymax gets rid of it cause then ppl will buy there gt's.

@ShadowReaver: idk why but i dont think the founder of SRO wanted this game to turn into BRO.

I suppose it's not really cheating because you're using in-game features. However, I do agree that it's abusing the euro (and chinese) party system, as well as the academy system. I hear a lot of people saying Joymax meant for people to use the academy system and party system for power leveling. No, they did not mean for it to be that way.

Joymax wants people to play Silkroad and enjoy it, not just sit on a horse throughout their entire character's life up to lvl 64 while tracing some high level character. The party system allows you to gain the most experience on monsters 11 levels higher than you, but some high-powered players can kill those mobs, and just need some help tanking.

Euros are meant to work together. If you're 11 levels lower than the mobs you're fighting, you can have the help of high level characters to heal you, tank for you, etc. so you can at least stand a chance fighting.

Adding a taxi (really, "taxi" is a dumb name) service would just make the grind for the rest of us that actually play the game that much less bearable as we get more and more surrounded by high level KSing bots (and legits) trailing 7 horse riding low levels behind them all day.

There's a 3-letter word I could compare 'taxi service' to, but that might elicit flaming.
