Server with a strong non-bot support

Well, Im sure probably no one has ever heard of me before, except some very few. Well, about 1 year ago, I played on the Aege Server, under the nick of SilkGuardian, farmed 100k on level 16 and got to level 63. I was kinda famous on Aege, organizing some server trade runs and having friends on the main clans, as Dejavu and BrosInArms. That, of course, before having my account hacked (no, I did not use any third programs or bought gold or visited cursed sites), probably by the way of "exchange" window, done when I was careless talking and forgot about that danger.

Either way, I left the silkroad, but I swore someday I'd be back. I just love this game. =)

However, I come to see that the bot problem still is unsolved, for my great sadness. Since I always knew that the bots and gold-buyers and CCF's always get the finest gear, I do not intend to take the path of PvP. Im coming back for the fun of PvE, perhaps making friends.

I'll create a chinese account, a Hibrid 1:1 Archer with Cold and Force Masterys, as I think it's the best for PvE (for the freeze effect, the theraphy ring and the range, besides the way to fight any kind of monster without such a strong damage of a single kind). As for the gear, it'll vary according to the monster I'll be fighting. Planning on lvling on a 9-lv gap until level 51, when I'll have around 418k of SP, more than enough to lv all the skills I'll choose (and I'll lv up almost every of each these 3 masterys) until lv 80.

To get to my point, I have no idea which server I should play in. I'd rather go to a server somewhat newer (I was thinking of Odin), but as I know the bot situation is horrible on all of them, I think I might prefer a server with a strong non-bot support, with people that still care for the game, and where I can find some SOS gear for the main weapon levels, since I'll need them on my 9-gap pilgrimage.

Thus... which server do you recommend?

thank you. ^^

venus is down to 2 strong bot guilds left only. the rest is legits.

the main issue atm is server traffic. its very hard to log in.

and if your into trade runs and stuff, we could use u in our guild/union. we need more players who want to do the job system.

As for server traffic, I guess I'll buy that Premium ticket, which will really save me (I used to play at late night before, but I cant do that this year, so I'll have to play on the VERY crowded times. With the ticket, wont be a problem...thank sro).

So, Venus seems a good option... I've heard of Avalon before, it's an old guild? But Im not sure if I can help the guild too much, since I'll take a loooong time to lv up, and wont have hurry to get to 80. Besides, mine is a mainly support character, although good as a Hunter (against npc thieves).

Any other servers?

Venus is the only really legit controlled server. Hera has a lot of people waiting for it to open. We've known it was coming for a long, long time.. months in fact. No telling when it will.

I see. So that's the Avalon I've heard of. I left about a week before TaklaMakan opened and the cap raised to 80.

Seems worth a try.

And Nightbloom, I think I do remember you, even though I used mostly the Silkroad Tavern back then.

what we really need is a new legit union, so we can have fun at FW instead of the mindless slaughter that it is now

Odin has a strong legit community aswell. Legit union controls the fortress and the server is pretty split between euro and chinese.
