The new leap forward in 2009 as one of server consolidation, many people gave us a request via 2 car population is expected to be adjustments.

Thank you.

On top of that they are also offering some type of come back presents....?

Well if that wasn't obvious.


TBH, I think Joymax should release a new cap with it and give the Koreans a free bot. Would make them fit right in.

Since 2005

That made me lol

We need an event like this here too, to motivate new players to think about joining again lol

Server merges are usualy the sign of a dieing game, its sad. We may never see anything higher than 100 cap. Well it was a good game while it lasted. Was looking forward to it continuing to the 120 skill.

it isnt suprising no one joins :S they put block on everyone that isnt korean/ or gets korean ssn illegally...

any game would have problem getting people to join when 99% of the people who wants to play game are blocked from signing up

i like how they call it come back event and everything else is in korean

Hopefully, iSRO's server will merge - like every 5 into one, gets like 7 servers...
Babel wont be crowded!!!

In kSRO people are happy about that. Even tho game might fail, but it might get some ppl back. Emptyness was main reason ppl quited.

Imagine the combined servers, like Aege, Venus, and Babel in one server. LoL that would be a crazy login. capcity would need to be like 10k players per combined server. So imagine Rockys where its crowed with on 3,500 server as is, now filled with 500 players waiting for a rocky party. Now that is Crazy.

Merging servers for iSRO would be a horrible idea. Not only would they have to raise the capacity, but it would be close to impossible to log in without a ticket.

All games eventually die because people move on and find new stuff. That's why they need to keep adding new stuff and make constant adjustments to the game to keep it fresh and appealing.

Just to remind you guys ISRO servers aren't crowded because of real players . So we we would get the same update if gold bots weren't there .

Not true. kSRO servers are always 'empty to easy', they consider populated as 'much action on server'. Without goldbots, we still would have non-stop populated. Also think of all the players who would come back because of all the goldbots banned.

No one has forgotten the fact that gold bots crowd the servers.

They wouldn't have needed to add new servers had there not been gold bots around. The problem with JM is that instead of blocking bots, they just added new servers as a temporary fix because they don't know how to deal with the problem.

So yes, of course we wouldn't need all these servers if JM would just block the gold bots.

I think it'd be better for iSRO if we only had 5 or 7 servers instead of 35 or however many there are now. It'd be easier for the GMs to actually be active in all the servers if there were fewer servers to cover.

How many actual accounts exist for each server now? Get rid of the accounts that don't belong (bots, spammers, ancient accounts...) and the rest should be able to consolidate. Maybe do it in steps - 35 servers -> 20 servers -> 10 servers -> 7 servers.

.. Servers in iSRO not going to be merged. kSRO is not iSRO. kSRo have problems with player population and most of them started quiting especialy from rome server when one new guild got the fortress. They pretty much fcked the server up. This is a good news for kSRO. In iSRO not gonna happen. Our servers are crowded not empty.

You never know, Joymax doesnt seem to rely on anything logical.

I swear the smallest sign of life from JM everyone starts panicking.

Let them do what they want to do, if it ends sro there's nothing we can do to stop it.

No one's panicking. This is kSRO, not iSRO. Besides, SRO will be around for awhile. Merging servers will help kSRO.

well Isro obviously has no intention of merging servers, since new ones are opened "monthly"


with the current state of Isro, its impossible to merge servers.

I do wonder what it would be like if iSRO did do a server combination. Would be interesting to say the least with the amounts of gold and Seal items possiably equal out abit, or the part where the older servers have diehard china users and the new servers are mainly euros, might make for an interesting power struggle.

How are Ksro servers different from Isro servers that they cant do the same merger?

Um, you must have completely missed the point of the merger. Because ksro servers are EMPTY. iSRO servers are FULL. A merger of isro servers would be down right idiotic. (unless of course they got rid of goldbots and expanded grinding areas to accommodate for tons of people.)

With 30+ servers, every server would be in easy if ALL bots were banned and kept out of sro..

What if 2 people have the same name? Would they have to change their name?

Still its SRO that means they will leave MANY botters out. Not even the 'godly' wow is bot free.

They should just give up and release silkroad 2.

+10,000

you get something like

Under_Oath * Nickname
BlindBow_ * Olympus

or something like that it think, + i belive some servers have green names and some have orange names? idk ive seen that in ksro videos

isro is pretty much "dead" already since 90%+ are all bots. Seems that way anyway.
