It's premium. What would you expect?

Yes, SRO is a free game. It is entirely up to you to buy silks.

Joymax needs the money to survive. You give them money, you are appreciated.

Isnt that fair enough?

I've just been going through the details of the new premium ticket, but aside from the thing that has outraged most people, spending 200 silk for login priority, I was more annoyed at the str 3 int 3 bonus it applies. This is an extra 3 int and str that will be unattainable by non-silk buyers, leading directly to an unfair advantage in combat. I was under the impression that the premium items were meant to make levelling easier, and for extra convenience. But giving silk buyers advantage in combat against non silk buyers take it a step too far.

Edit: price of ticket changed

i agree, its really unfair to poeple that don't buy silk, along with the "log in during any time," but its another reason JM is tryin to get u to buy it.

How is it not fair?
The people who get the tickets pay so you dont have to. Why do you think your not paying to play its because there are people buying items off the item mall.

businesses want cash->they use the cash to keep their business running->businesses reward employees who bring in the most cash->thos employees usually then sell their ideas to consumers

thats life, get used to it, if ppl didnt buy silk for the premium stuff then SRO wouldn't exists

So being able to play the game is being appreciated? That's pretty sad is you ask me...

no, that's exactly how u should feel going into a free mmorpg. as long as u get to play, u shouldn't ask for nething else.

Bottom line really, Those who dont' buy silk, you are playing a free game, it's a Privilege, not a right, so what right would you have to demand things?

If you pay for silk, then you have a right to make demands and whine.

And in the reality of things, those who don't and never plan to buy "Silk" you are simply leeching the game from silk buyers. Why? because the silk buyers keep JoyMax in business, and in turn, allows Joymax to maintain the game and make updates, etc..

No $ for joymax, no game for all of us.

so buying GTs and pets are not premium enough ... u have to get the premium gold to enjoy VIP treatment. get it? buy premium or dun buy at all, anything less than getting premium gold, u r just another player like the non paying ones .. that's how it works.

If you pay nothing, Joymax will consider your opinions as nothing.

What I mean by "being appreciated" is the feature of the PT. You know, 5% this and that, being able to log in within one try, etc.

Imo, GT is not premium enough. That's why they have Premium ticket now.

In a nutshell, you pay them money, you have more privilege than a regular player, like me, does.

If all the non-Silk buyers left this game, then there would only be a small amount of people + 10k gold bots for them to buy gold off of. So you cannot just think of them as leechers. They add value to the playing of SRO. Without them this game would be boring.

I have no problem with items like Rabbit or Monkey, cos they do not directly give an upper advantage over those who cannot afford silk. But this premium ticket is so unfair. It's like buying a cheat item.

u people are smart, but not smart enough.

Yall figured people with P-ticket only get the scrolls during the ticket time, i bet they only get the login thingy aswell during the ticket time, not all time of the day.

But other than that i think $20 for such a ticket is way too much. Joymax doesnt care and if it keeps going like that the community is gonna go down.

I could buy this ticket, i could buy anything from item mall. But i dont, cause i have yet to remember how i felt when i couldnt buy from the item mall. and the advantage everyone who could, got over me was stupid.

I dont buy from item mall anymore, i dont want to keep supporting joymax crappy ideas of improving the game play.

This game was meant to be free, i dont support joymax in making it go p2p. or p 2 have advantage. :banghead:

Thats sadly true, but paying $20 just for the gold premium time is too much, might as well move to a p2p game that actually has a good customer support and cares about keeping a clean, solid game. But if they were to give us neat servers, bot preventing measures, updates, and events that do not turn the servers into a unbearable lag fest, then it is not so bad.

Well, this kinda blows for people who cant afford a PT, say there are 10000 slots in the server for users, than 500 PT users log in, now the server is 500 people over capacity, so for non-PT players, you now have to wait for 501 people to leave the game before you can get a chance to log in.

Has anyone else noticed that the image code pops up everytime regardless of server traffic? This kinda sucks now b/c you get DC everytime if its busy...instead of relying on being quick or using the 2 PC trick, which doesnt work anymore.

For the people whining about the PT giving an unfair pvp advantage ingame, get a life, people have been able to buy 20% damage increase scrolls forever, no one complains about them...get over it, its one 3 int and 3 str, use a few stones to make up for it.

i think folks wont be so mad if they at least reduce the problems with regular log in. as it is, it is almost impossible for many. joymax should at least fix it to the level of being able to log in within 5-10 tries. then there wont be that much gripe abt the premium treatments. as it is, it is a case of 1 or 0 for many now.

seriously can i punch some of you in the face one minute ur complaning about bots, server traffic, gm not doing there work and job system

they finally do something about it and you guys still complain

its a free game still
and it wont be free if joymax decides to make it fair
there will not me any non silk buyers if you want things fair

when there is anything free most likely you get advertisement cuz a company pays it to run its commercial hence they pay for you so unless all the ppl want it to be fair but you will all have to pay 10$ a month quit ur whining the ppl buying those tickets.
make the game free for alot of ppl and you can make it past 70 without one if you have no life at all and play 24/7
so iam buying one myself soon, so NOW ill be paying 10$ more so half of you can have a free game so please shut up
