When you know there are better version of sro such as csro and vsro? Don't tell me it's because of the language barrier. Let's say currently we have 35 servers in isro atm, each server has 100 legits, so if all 3500 legits move to a same server, there would be a big enough english community

Friends and the pvp...I don't mind bots, I can play around them and I got a premium most of the time so I have no trouble logging in. Although I must say the pvp starts to sucks, I'm mostly online to chat with friends and grind a bit ofc :P

because i found a community worth staying for a while before i quit, and its rather unlikely that the whole community will move there at once.

why wouldn't you try to convince your friends to move to another server? You must know that in isro you got no future.

I play isro because of the friends and the community.

Buy premium and you will be fine :)

Even tho you said, don't say "because of the different language" i still say it.... on csro not everybody can talk English (of course) so i can't see why i should change to there ?

Maybe learn your cat to grind ? :D

And if it study very hard it might learn to pvp too ? that could be awesome :P

But of course it would still be much easier to just go outside :roll:

well, the same reason when the private server MHTC appeared. First ppl blah blah about it's chinese then it ended up with a big english community. Same with ecsro, everything has to start with a 0, you join the server, invite your friend, your friend invite his friend, his friend invite other friends, etc...

I've tried, but the other versions won't let me. Searched on the internet alot and made multiple topics on this forum, but nobody could help me.

I tried at the same time with 2 friends. We had exactly the same versions, installed it the same way, had the same ping and I even tried their accounts. Nothing worked, so I gave up on trying to play another version of sro.

Question is why do you play iSRO, not SRO, there are no problems like these on some other SRO versions.

I don't really play anymore. I come back once every 1-2 months and try to log in and when I can't I go away for another 2 months or so. I got like 300 silk on my account...Thanks JM.

I used to play back in the day because the community was a lot bigger and the game was a lot more fun.

I play because of my friends and the bulgarian guild we are building.
No one on the other servers managed to make what we made so far, so we are still fighting and helping people to make the biggest BG community in sro.
I can move everywhere, i can change every server and every version and i will do just fine, but some (most) of my friend play this game for the first and probably for the last time.
So i have to loose them all. And i can't do that.
Building a community like this is way different than building an english community.
Here maybe maximum 2000 people play sro, image how many of them play often enough, know enough about the game and can afford to pay for silk (yes this is one of the requierments for someone to join my guild).
So this is my reason to play sro, guess that's enough, or?

Uhm, it seems a lot of you confused my question. Im not asking why you play sro but why do you play the international version.
Im sure that you can economize at least $20 monthly for premium ticket just for the login.

Not gonna argue with the friends point. But on every other point you mentioned perfrct world beats sro. You never came to try it out with us iirc. There are plenty of other games that beat sro as well.


But PW damn. There even the gear glowed sexy.

I DID!!! But only for like... a few hours. For some odd reason jumping into the water and seeing my character look like a flat board kicking its legs killed the game for me. I couldn't stand it and I uninstalled.

perfect world is better than any other free game out atm.
you can fly, air pvp, free pk, we have a west gate place like south DW, you can kill underwater, different classes with different skills, a weird genie concept, there are ways to craft your own gear, CASH SHOP ITEMS ARE TRADABLE, and you can convert ingame coins to cash shop money, the graphics are better, and there is absolutely no lag. best thing is, its all english lol.

the only thing that sro has on perfect world is the warlock animations on sro were nice looking.

i logged onto sro yesterday for the first time in 600 days, i made an alt cuz all my characters had been banned for inactivity and i cant believe i ever played that game :P
plus i cant believe how laggy it is, 20 fps in hotan? nothx lol.
and you cant jump :shock:

not to mention the 20 minutes it took me to get into a server, but i remember back in the day attempting for 2 hours so i guess thats not too bad. And the only english word i understood while i was in there was 'nuke' everything else was in some other language.

So they swim like a dolphin and don't do the breast stroke or dog paddle. At least they could swim. In sro you just walk and breathe under water.

Some of PWs water areas are awesome. Surrounded on all sides by inky impenetrable blue gigantic creatures swimming up out of seemingly nowhere. Was awesome.
