SRO is not F2P ..

check out xians server capacity ..
what exactly are my chances of signing on without a premium right now?
most of the servers are crowded 24/7 so without spending money on a premium theres really no chance of playing. with all the lag, bugs and disconnection problems we might not even manage to stay on for 30mins when it takes up hours trying to sign on.

anyways .. i didnt start this thread just to brag about the server traffic, ive just never seen a server with 3020+ players on at once and wanted to show you guys.

edit/ busy focusing on the 1 in 3104 i didnt realise they expanded xians server capacity to 3100 o.o"

No offense but I JUST signed onto Xian bout 15 mins ago .. no prem first try.

Oh and whats your definition of F2P?

F2P still means in my books .. to play a game without paying. AFAIK you don't have to pay if you don't want to.

I know. Here is a logic demonstration :wink:

Ppl dont have time to play
if time is money
=> ppl dont have money to play
=> sro is not free
else time is not money which is absurd

In conclusion, sro is P2P

Same with ppl has money to play...

Its free, its just frustrating without paying.

They totally did that on purpose lol, I mean whats the point of dcing and having to close the game and reopen it after 1 failed attempt of logging on~

But yea I pretty much can't get on in the daytime, but around like 2pm it gets easier, not that its easy lol, but easier.

I play on greece, even during peak hours i get on within 15 minutes. Quit complaining. It really isn't as hard to log on as people think.

and you failed to miss the point. Oh well. Yours loss.

PROTIP: typing quicker increases your success of loging in. Also a good pc that runs the client in under 4 seconds is always a help.

Yeah I've been playing for over a year and a half on Venice and I have never paid a dime. :-)

I usually either log on REALLY early in the morning and afk stall until I'm ready to play, or I spend 40 minutes or so (if I don't give up) logging on later in the day.

actually i didnt fail to miss the point. the game really is hard to log on.

and i dont think typing quicker would increase anything, i reckon im a good touch typer and i manage to type in my username and pw before the images even show up.

and yes having a good pc that can run a client in under 4 seconds is of course a help. loading faster means having more tries, leading to higher chance of getting in. :wink:

Getting into the game requires the following:

Money - get in with premium
Poor - luck, timing, luck, someone DC = timing, oh and well luck

I agree with Karlos, on Rev6 it once said Odin is about 10 above max or something, and i connected first try

It depends usually on how fast you type in the verification code

The quicker you type, the more attempts you get in a selected period. Hence typing is the key.

guys that's bs!
i remember before the euro update u would press "connect" about a gazzilion times and it wouldn't get up the verification box due to the server traffic, hence we understood that the verification code means there is space in the server right?

after the euro update once u hit connect u the verification hits up, no matter the server traffic, it's joymax's way to shut up people complaining about the server traffic

I almost always mix up B's and 8's for the image verification. Makes the whole login process slow for me T,T
