Silkroad, A waste of money?

diotron123 · **Joined:** Nov 2008 **Posts:** 133 **Location:**

Hey, I made this post to find how how much Money everyone else spends on silkroad each month, as I was curious to see how it compared to my spendings.

I've worked out on average i buy about 640 silk each month, which buys me a Premplus and devil spirit recharge for my main char and a silver prem and DSRC for my second character. I'm F@$£&£$ CRAZY! lol thats $64 a month, x12, = $768 a year :shock:

i never actually realised how much money i'm throwing away in this game... However... I MAKES ME HAPPY PLAYING IT!

So i guess... i dont really care. I could spend $64 a month on other things like PS3 Games, or Alcohol or clothes, but fact is they are just as pointless as as silkroad, all i'd gain from them is happiness, but if i get that from silkroad, then.. FINE? i guesss. SO anyways, what do you guys spend on average on silkroad each month, how much silk ya buy?

THANKS!

Oh and if your gunna call me a loser or something like that then why are you even on a silkroad ** FAN ** forum?

peace

I currently don't buy any silk, but I've spent a total of $60 in my sro lifetime. Not bad, for the 4 years of fun I've had while playing.

150 per month. Some months i need like 100 more if i decide to revive my pet, or the devil spirit, or if i need reverse scrolls, but those are thing i don't use every month. And when 11 d comes i will get a prem+ and a SP helper and a lot more silly virtual items, that are not real, but i love so here it is again, the best post in this thread

What if i told you that there is 13 months in a year ?
Prems and pets last 28 days.
365/28 = 13.036
So you are actually paying 13 "months" for a total of 832$ per year.

If you enjoy what you do no one can judge you, sure there are some exceptions but still. If I want to spend a whole weekend on gaming so be it, my life, my choice. Same goes for someone who wants to get wasted and barf all weekend, his life, his choice (or her).
