http://www.playrohan.comI just started this game last night, and I must say I am very impressed. It actually has a lot of similar elements to it that silkroad has.
One thing that impressed me was the imbues. In Rohan, you can choose from Fire, Ice, Darkness, Holy imbues.
The graphics are pretty good too. I also really like the diversity in character classes and races.
Unlike Silkroad Online, the GMs are VERY active in Rohan, I reported a bot via the Live Chat on their website and the bot was banned within 20 minutes...
Grind is about the same as Silkroad, however, there is a unique feature that lets you gain extra amounts of exp after you've killed a certain number of mobs. It's sort of like questing by killing x amount of monsters, only it's automatic and you don't have to accept any quests.
You guys should give it a try, I highly recommend it, being a MMORPG skeptic myself...
