Playing without Silk

_wolf_ · **Posted:** Thu Jun 28, 2007 1:25 pm

How many of you high lvls play completely without silk? After cave grinding without monkey/tickets, it didnt seem all that bad to me. Do any of you guys do it?

Please dont turn this into a bot/jm flamer-h8r post >.<

I aint 60+ yet but it seems impossible for me for legits to do it without silk after 70 O.o

Level 69 STR ice archer -> grinded absolutelly hardcore everyday.

Of course I still play with Silk. Yes, I do think that JM overcharges for some of its stuff... all of its stuff actually, but what can you do about it? None of us can do anything about it. Yes, WoW does cost less per month, if you look at SRO as a P2P game, what with the PT now and all, but each and all of us that buy Silk are attracted to this game for a reason.

SRO. :love:

I can live without a GT or PT, but theres no way I can grind without my monkey.

I started buying silk at 60x when it was taken 1 1/2 weeks to level up. lol Gaps, with no gold ticket really sucks.

+1 - there is no substitute for the pet, they save so much time and make grinding more efficient.

and yes it's not that hard to play without silk, although you feel frustrated when you see lower lvls catching up with you :banghead:

did not buy silk for a while out of protest but since that did not seem to help

I havent used silk since like Nov last year, although I haven't really played too much, I still wouldn't of bought any though >.>.

I might get some stuff when the new update comes though :d.

I have only used silk from lvl 60 - 70.

Wow, currently, there are more people who don't buy Silk, then those that do. Currently, or from those who voted, anyways. Kinda surprised me. I thought the majority of SRO players bought Silk.

Just bought some silks haven't used it yet. Want to see what the update really is about first. But just from using the free 1 day helper tickets convinced me to buy silks if you want to be farmed and/or lvl quick. Also works for lvl-ing a wolf that's low lvl!

Just 1 day of 100% sp bonus; I farmed 1500 sp. That would be 1/2 without the ticket. This doesn't sound like much, but to put things into perspective, my friend who farmed 40k sp would've had 80K sp :banghead:

If you're cheap like me, the sp ticket is less than $8 US. I am also blessed with no login issues because I play after 5pm EST.

QFT. This is pretty much the only way to get into the servers on even a fairly busy day. Disconnect Online FTW!

there are a lot more ppl ingame that buys silk. srf doesn't equal the population of sro.
