Silkroad Online Forums

man your just mad cuz u cant buy silk, joymax dont give a shit if even all the legits stoped buying silk

Yea me too

This isn't the wrong section noob. and not the wrong forum so please just
shut up noob.

It is nice and it CAN happen if everyone stops giving money
to gaymax till they shape up and start doing a lot more about
the bot problem.

FYI this was posted on the official SRO site and they immediately
delete the post so others can not see it. They censor everything
bunch of communists.

I am going to get the word out to boycott the Item Mall and not
to give Joymax any money till they shape up and start doing something
about this bot problem!

Again shows how clueless you really are. I don't CARE about buying
silk you idiot noob. What I care about is that Joymax is not
doing anything about the bot problem and ignore any suggestions
and comments made by the players.

Joymax WILL give a shit when they stop getting revenue from the
the players. Because they will have no income coming in and they
will either be forced to do something about the problem and listen
to the players in order to get money again or shut down.

God some of the poeple here like this guy parry36 are just clueless
I thought this place may be better then other boards but I see that I
am obviously wrong.

First off, stop calling people noobs. Secondly the EDIT button was made for a reason. Thirdly this is the wrong forum, and barely 10% of the SRO community post here. Fourth if people stop buying silk Joymax will notice iSRO isn't pulling its own weight.

If this were to happen, they're not going to fix anything. They're going to cut their losses and either: A)shut down iSRO, because its a dead end or B)license it to another company.

B) is unlikely because, that other company will want to know the condition of the game. First they will see its impossible to log in, then they will do third hand research( after joymax says "This game is Very popular"), eventually, realizing the game is 2/3 gold bots. finally they will get the word out that Isro is a lost cause because: 1) no more revenue and 2)terrible community.

If you want the game to get events and Updates, then buy silk. Silk funds the game, I am thankful for every Legit Ex-Silkbuyer and Current Silkbuyer, because they after the dawn and persistence of Item mall were the backbone.

They have to Finance Updates (Pay the programmers/translator)
They have to Finance Events (Pay the programmers/translators)
They have to keep servers up (Pay for servers and bandwidth)
The can ban botters but ATM won't because the community has become complacent with the current situation.

If you want this game to get better then here is the things you and every other Anti-Silk person out there should advocate:

1. The END of Gold Buying. Gold buyers are NOT legit, they fuel GOLD BOTS, which, CLOG, FILL, and STRANGLE servers. This prevents MANY new people from actually playing the game, First off they can't log in and if they do its a struggle (Unless they live in a good TimeZone like PST). Then when they do log in they're tormented by and Army of ADFGDGFD who keep ksing everything in sight. They go, "Oh this game is shyt" then they quit.
2. The END of botting. i don't care how deluded you are, BOTTERS IN THE LONG RUN CANNOT (when comparisons are equal) AND WILL NOT EVER BRING MORE REVENUE TO JOYMAX THAN LEGITS. Botting is an ineffective way to grind unless its done 24/7, meaning the bot NVR or should i say RARELY logs out, unless d/c. MOST botters (as the EB section can attest to) Multiclient with clientless SEVERAL GOLD BOTS, which CLOGS THE SERVER! Take down 1 player bot and you take down 10 - 100 clientless gold bots!
3. Stop the BS: "its just a game, i don't care how other people play it, duuuuuur" That statement is the biggest pile of BS ever spewed on a Gaming forum EVER. BOTTING HAS NVR been an ALTERNATIVE to hand grinding in ANY OTHER MMO except SILKROAD ONLINE, and guess what: IT DIDN'T FCKING START LIKE THAT! botters were shunned, stigmatized, NOT ACCEPTED! then one care-bear asshat decided that he/she doesn't care if people bot and let them in their guild. BEFORE LONG THE ENTIRE GUILD WAS FULL OF BOTTERS! then they guild broke up, and the botters spread like WILDFIRE! Spreading as FAR AS IT COULD REACH! It turned SILK ROAD ONLINE into BOT ROAD ONLINE. Thankfully there are still numerous players on SRF, Venus, Hera, and Odin whom still want the Good LEGIT DAYS BACK (YEAH THESE DAYS EXISTED) and are doing everything to STOP this vile disease from KILLING THE GAME.
4. LAST BUT NOT LEAST: SRF IS NOT MOSTLY BOTTER, 3/4 of this forum DOESN'T PLAY SRO ANYMORE! <OMGZ so stop with "the banning botters kill forum, duuuur" and the "Joymax nvr ban player bots, duuur" Trust me and any one else who tells you: They do ban bots, doesn't matter if you buy silk or not.

That's ALL it takes, it is incredibly hard, but unlike boycotting silk this will have definitive ADVANTAGES TO BOTH JOYMAX AND PLAYERS.

Its easy to live without silk. I haven't purchased anything so far (mainly because i am poor )

That is the most accurate description of this company they have no clue
how to properly run this game and are absolutely clueless

They need to be told that the players are FED UP with the botting problem
on the servers and that it is time that they stop ignoring the players
requests to do something about this problem.

Unless they get hit where it hurts which is their bank account I don't believe
Joymax is going to do anything about this problem.

So do NOT give Joymax AKA Gaymax any money till they smarten up and start to
do something about this problem. FYI I posted this in another forum and it
got moved to here. I did not post this in this forum an admin thought this
was the right location for it and moved the post so don't rag on me
for that.

First off I didn't post the message in this forum it got MOVED here so get a CLUE barotix.
So obviously some one thought that this IS the right forum. So stop bitching at me.

Either one of those two options you have mentioned is BETTER then the way that
Joymax is currently running the servers. Maybe they should either

A)shut down iSRO, because its a dead end or B)license it to another company.

Maybe if they licensed it to some one else they can run the game properly and
give proper support and actually listen to its players. Obviously Joymax doesn't
give a shit. Shutting it down would not be a bad thing if Joymax is going to
continue to run things the way they are right now.

FYI If they license it to another company the other company sets up Thier OWN
servers. I have seen MMO games licensed out to other companies before
and the company sets up their OWN servers with their own version of the game
and control the game how they wish. So It could be run a LOT different and a
lot better.

The licensing just means that they are able to run the software on their servers
legally. But it would NOT be joymax in control of the servers. There could be revenue
if they got control of the gold bot issue which is using up most of their
resources. The gold bots are eating up CPU time and bandwidth and login spots
from actual players. You wonder why Joymax isn't making money that is why. They
are having to install new servers and more bandwith all the time to cover all the
bots that are on the servers and eating up money and resources. If they get
rid of this things would be better for the players and lower cost for Joymax.

Don't buy silk from Joymax till they straight up and start to do something
about the problem it is the only way that Joymax WILL do something and shows
Joymax that the players are serious in their protest against the bots and
that the players can not be ignored any longer. Again the gold bots and
ALL other botters need to be banned.

Until Joymax gets that message nothing will get done about the bots and
the only way to do that is the hold back buying anything from the item
mall and not support them till they do something about the bot problem.

Until you stop buying items from the item mall Joymax is NOT going to
do anything to stop the gold spammers in town or the gold bots or the
rest of the botters clogging this server how come you can't see that?

You are complaining about the gold bots but don't see that Joymax
isn't going to do anything till the players protest harder and stop
buying stuff from the Item Mall and send a clear message to Joymax
to do something about this problem instead of ignoring its players
like they have currently done up to now.

Stand up and start to do something and boycott the Item Mall till
Joymax does something to stop this problem!

UNLESS PLAYERS BOYCOTT BUYING SILK then JOYMAX WILL NEVER
DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. The people who DO still play
the game need to protest the fact that Joymax AKA Gaymax has ignored
its players and until more people do this then Joymax is NEVER
going to actually take the problem seriously.

Boycotting buying anything from the item mall is the ONLY way
to send that message clearly to Joymax. I ask AGAIN THAT NO ONE BUY
anything from the item mall and send Joymax a clear message that the players
won't be ignored any more!

I can also tell you that people are rebelling and I have heard that there
is a silkroad "emulator" out there a private server for SRO that is in
the works. This is NOT a hacked version or anything like that so don't squawk
that it is illegal or something it an emulator that is being designed by some one.

There is already a private server. I know how licensing works. No company would want to run this game on their own server knowing that their future community is full of assholes.

Silk keeps the game barely breathing, and i would rather be able to play sro, than not at all. I'm happy on Venus, its not entirely like the other servers, maybe a little crowded, but its not dominated by a full sun botted to 80 in 2 months guild full of 12 year olds who think its leet to gangbang lvl 16s pvping at DW gate.

so true.

boycotting silk is an impossible task anyway even goldbots are buying silk!

I propose that we all buy silk excessively to make Joymax realise that iSRO is worth their time and the might actually do something. So who else is up for spending $300 a month on silk?

/sarcasm

Then you are an ignorant FOOL DO NOT BUY ANYTHING
from the item mall BOYCOTT THE ITEM MALL
till joymax actually does something about the bot problem
hit them where it hurts them the most their pocket book.

See it is ignorant fools like you that are going to cause
joymax NOT to fix the bot problem.

Stop buying stuff from the item mall till Joymax actually
doe something about the bot problem!

LOL you obviously don't know how private licensing works you are showing how
clueless you really are.

The only reason why the gaymax servers are full of "assholes" as you said is
because they do NOTHING to weed people like that out. If Joymax actually
did something to fix the problem and actually address the issues and ban the
gold spammers in town and actually took a proactive stance the server
would not be full of "assholes". The only reason why this has occured is
because Joymax is CLUELESS and CHOSEN NOT to do anything about the problem.

The server run by the RIGHT people could be run properly and have a
good community. This is JOYMAX's fault that the servers are in the
condition that they are currently in.

I would rather see Joymax shut down the server and maybe license them
to some one ELSE who could run it properly and get the proper number
of GMS and help staff to properly support a game like this, unlike the
shitty job that Joymax is currently doing.

Again do NOT support Gaymax till they actually do something about the
bot problem. If you continue to support them and give them money
they will just continue to take it and continue to ignore the bot
problem and do NOTHING to fix the problem and everything will stay
as it is. If you want change to fix the servers then everyone has
to protest and NOT buy anything from the item mall till Joymax gets
its act together and does something about the problem and stops
ignoring its players.

when did post count count? post count doesn't do anything, and doesn't make u think retartedly . that probably is the most bs post i ever saw.
actually, this forum is filled with bs now. this guy is a newcomer to srf, and wants to post an idea. and what do u guyz do? instead of telling ur opinions in a civilized manner, u guyz flame at him, and write sarcasms -.-. all the nice members of srf quit, and left retarted ppl like these flamers. i thank you barotix for not flaming.
and in return, the thread starter should respect everyone, and not call them noobs -.-. but i think it was the ppl who posted sarcasms that made the thread starter mad in the first place.

Darkshado try reading the rules before posting, you have broken two rules already, also I figured you should read the 5 easiest ways to get banned. You have double posted and flamed a moderator, watch what you post or you might find the banhammer hitting you on the head.

They ignore the bot problem because these assholes you speak of are botting. When the majority of your players bot and buy gold, you're going to do what is in the best interest of the community. Letting bots be and ruin the economy, in joymax's eyes, is the best thing. Recently Legits have made a resurgence, we are tired of the BS and have taken matters into our hands, soon after SRF took a firm stance against botters. Joymax completely off their 6 month update cycle promptly announces a bot ban, coincidence? I think not.

As for the "you're clueless about licensing": Lets get one thing straight here; I know how licensing works.

And to add to the kettle: You're not the first person to try to boycott Joymax, they make more than enough money off of licenses to let iSRO go an nvr bring it back. As a matter of fact, if my calculations are correct, because of Isro's current state they are losing a, potentially, massive chunk of their revenue.

Licensing works like so:

1. Joymax sells an annual License to another company for ~10 million
2. Said company Runs a version of SRO on their own servers
3. Joymax sells them updates and fixes to bugs for a hefty fee

When it comes to licensing most companies avoid international markets and try to sell for specific regions or countries (cheaper and easier to keep track of). If Isro were disbanded, it would not come back as Isro, There would simply be more SRO's:

naSRO
saSRO
eSRO
aSRO
meSRO

^Regions.

Speaking of weeding people out: The COMMUNITY should weed assholes out and NOT accept them, alas: THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T CARE HOW PEOPLE GRIND ANYMORE! Venus, Hera, and Odin have taken initiative. We as a community have not once given Joymax a reason to ban botters, we as a community have never shown a Uniform stance against botters: Companies do what is in the best interest of the community, and because they believed most if not all Legits had given up, they (Joymax) simply did what they saw best for the BOT community.

The community will always influence the company, and the company will always do what is best for the majority of Users. Now that a large amount of Legit users have taken a stance against botter and gold buyer BS Joymax has decided to cut their losses.

Listen just shut up I didn't break any rules you are not a moderator here so
just shut your hole. You are only saying that because you are probably one
of the botters that are causing the problem and because you don't agree with
what I am saying so now you are trying to get me banned for "violating the rules"
even though I have not.

Just shut your hole noob. The only one that needs to be banned here is
YOU Blindfire! So stop trying to be a moderator you wanna be.

Listen That is a BS answer Joymax needs to deal with the problem and BAN
all the botters and gold spammers in town. This is NOT for the best of
the community and that is nothing more then a B.S. Answer.

I think that it is nothing more then a coincidence and no proof otherwise
has been presented here to prove otherwise. I doubt that you have that
kind of pull to have Joymax do anything. I think you want to try and take
credit for it but really it was nothing more then a coincidence.

Listen and if Joymax did license the game to another company they can RUN
the game properly! and actually ban the botters and gold spammers

It is JOYMAX'S CHOICE NOT TO DO ANYTHING another company
could take a lot more action and do a lot more. Joymax has
chosen to run their own servers into the ground by doing nothing
and let the problem get this far out of hand.

Another company can take a better stance against botters and actually
ban them. I would rather see joymax sell out a license to some one
else then Joymax continuing to do nothing to stop this.

Yes the community should care how people grind as well if they
are botting then you should care unless of course you are one of
the ones who are botting as well Barotix that is more then
likely the reason why you are taking the stance that you are.
You are more then likely botting secretly.

Joymax isn't cutting any losses infact they continue to
allow the gold buyers on the servers and do nothing to stop
it and the gold bots outside of town continue to killsteal from
all the players.

Joymax isn't doing SHIT about it and this whole bot ban thing
is nothing more then a FARCE they talk a good game but never
do anything about it. They say they are going to do something
to try and calm down the people a bit but never actually do anything
to stop the problem.

Joymax is a shitty company who has no clue how to run this game
properly I would rather see the servers shut down then continue the
way things currently are.

First of all, prove I bot, you can dig forever you're not going to find anything. Second, Barotic is a moderator and I'm pretty sure this is disrespect:



Third, since you are an idiot I will show you the rules you have broken.







Rules were made for a reason.

this is usually what u write when u cant log into a server. now send that to joymax instead of flaming in srf.
and u have kinda a lot here, i dont care about the others (cause they were showing the same disrespect for you), but u shouldn't flame at ppl who sren't flaming back at you, aka BlindFire and Barotix. plus Barotix is a mod, and flaming=direspecting, and disrespecting a mod=ban. just simple mathematics .

hey, darkshado, here's a message for u: i'm in my item mall buying my globals and reverse returns

that is all

Bingo! To save iSRO we need to destroy iSRO. As long as people buy silk and try to log in the servers they see that as acknowledgement that they are doing things right.

noobish sarcasm ToleseGT, and not funny at all .
