Silkroad Online

this game is cool looking and all but it hasnt capture my attention. I download it cuz one of my friends play it nonstop and is always talking about it. I just started playing and so far im not digging it. Maybe someone can persuade me to give this game a chance? Really need some advice here

once you reach level 20, the trading is AWESOME!!!

It's really unique and very rewarding.

most people get sick of SRO because of the boring quests and slow leveling though...

I didn't get past level 34

><

another thing, killing giants, elites and specially fighting uniques (face it, you won't ever kill one) gives an unbelievable rush

so from to moment you are ready to face the tiger giants, SRO will get you in it's hold and it won't release you untill you're sick of killing the same MOB's days in a row

The PvP is good, when you reach level 20, you can choose to be a hunter, thief or trader. If you choose to be a trader, you have to hire hunters (or simply other players) to protect you from the thieves, who will try everything to kill you.

As the previous player mentioned, the boss raiding is good since they all very difficult to defeat and when you succeed, the feeling of satisfaction is incredible :)

I've played this game for a little over a year, binge here and break there, and I haven't gotten past lvl 34 (the lucky #, eh? XD)
I did like it in the beginning, and I do like trading, but since the Euro expansion I haven't had much of a taste for it. Don't get me wrong, the European characters and skills are quite fun, but there are so many bots, the triangular job system is worse off (in my opinion) than it was before, and there is no real goal in the game than to get rich. Its fun to a point, but the grinding is killer.

and indeed it is a really kool game but u gotta play a bit if u wanna get the taste of it (it will get kool after lvl 24 and continue on getting kooler and kooler ) so u should give it a chance

believe me, at lvl 34, you spend ages killing the same mob's all the time.

at the end it almost bored me to death!

but i have good memories to it...

You guys are right. When you reach lvl 20 it is totally awsome but I hated the quests and After lvl10 you can't respawn at the place you died. That is just wrong.

There is an area close to the ferry where you respawn right at the place where you die. Some griefer almost deleveled me thus, since I was appearing on the same place over and over again. I logged in the end - and respawning at a safe place is sometimes the right thing ;)

if u are looking for a free game, dont bother to start this one ... you cant login if u dont buy some ticket to have login acces ,,, otherway, u get everytime same message of servers beeing overcrowded ... and disconect

My friend and I deleted this game after we got a quest to get 50 tiger paws and we had to kill over 100 to get them, then got another quest that said the NPC wanted 100 tiger paws, so we go them, then he said he wanted another 200, and both of use just got fed up and deleted the game.  This is a grind beyond grinds, I hate this game.

i think this game is good ,so most perplo played
