Silkroad Online Forums

Well, I thought that with all the hype going on about SRO-R, and people from the legit community already talking about guilds, unions etc. It would be nice to make sure that we at least go to the same server.

I mean, have anyone even thought about the fact that they will most likely open more than one server once SRO-R gets here in a couple of days to meet the demand?
Now, we can't know anything for certain, but if more servers will open up at the same time, we will have to make sure that we all move to the same server in order to keep the legit community at one place.
I would suggest we do something like... joining the server name which comes first in the alphabet.
For example, if they open two servers called Venus and Azteca, we'll join Azteca.


Now, one might say that we can simply wait till the 20th and decide it by then. But then again, some people will sit up waiting for the game to launch and odds are that if there are plenty servers, the legit community will get spread across different kind of servers.


So yeah, what are your thoughts?


ps. I know that not the entire legit community visits Silkroadforums. But when I mention the legit community, I mean of course the one here are SRF + their guildmates etc.

Itsune me and kush will be the first ones going in from Aege if we think its gonna be bot free we'll throw in the rest of the guild and we'll make a BigGameHntrs guild aswell

Im in for it, keep this thread updated

i don't think there will be more than 1 server, it is OpenBeta!!!

We'd be atleast expecting about 3 servers to meet the demand, there are going to be other people playing the game besides just the legit community, though hopefully if they involved themselves in those kind of actions (bots) then they will be banned.

There are still quite a few players of this game, and 3 servers seems about the right amount to be opening for now.

We should stick together im joining with 3 other people so yea

yea we should all just make a huge union

If things look promising I might join in too.

I'm going to check it out too, I think we should make a sticky thread for this client, to save any confusion and just updated with the important details we need. Like, IGN, servers etc, basically a thread without all the discussion on what to do! lol

I still don't entirely understand what silkroad-r is tbh! Downloading the client now ^_^

Silkroad Revolution

I'm glad to see that so many people are interested in Silkroad-R. Really starting to seem like we'll get a bright and fun time over there.


Nobody replied to my actual concern yet, though. Well, some of you discussed whether or not there will be one or 3 servers. But IF there are 3 servers, we'll have to somehow make sure we all start on the same one. That was my initial concern.

If people agree to what Hideoki said about making a thread (and hopefully getting it sticky) where people can post in-game names but also find out, at which server everyone is playing, I will make a thread like that.
Just want to know if you guys would be really interested in it?

Well, aside from salvation i will be very interested to try this out. Salvation is great, but for me... something doesn't feel right there, it isn't "silkroad" for me, and i can't put my finger on why exactly lol.

But for this Silkroad-r, assuming they have 3 servers we could quite easily sort that out now, I'm guessing 3 servers will be listed, so we can say now just register and play on the first server listed! Just our luck, that'd end up being a server named after som gay greek god or Gaya lol. Fair simple stuff, on the full release nobody would have put months of legit play behind there characters, so if you reg on the wrong server...just create another account on the right one. But we will 100% need a sticky thread for it, as multiple pages of people asking questions and discussing stuff can get confusing and hide the important info we need.

Im totally trying this even though i can't be very active, too much stuff to do irl :)

Same, I'm busy too tbh. But even just an hour or two a day will be fine for this, at least enough to test whether or not it will be like the old sro, bot infested, scam infested etc

Actually I also think that there will be only 1 server during the Open Beta. After the testing period is over, they might wipe all the characters and just open 3-4 servers for the actual release. It will be a beta first, so i am not really sure, if we can keep our characters, but even if there is a wipe after the testing period, it would be good to gather as much legits as possible during the beta. Then we could be even better organized later. I'll form Armathyx again and maybe i could even get Silvertaler to try it out. But even without him, we'd have a solid guild core and should be able to grow fast again. I'd like to union up with BigGameHnters and maybe some other legit guilds.

But to make it easier, if there are several servers, i'd say we'd just pick ltsune's idea from the first post.

Yeah good idea. And also, is it just me, when i go to install this client, it says it can onl be installed during beta period. Is it not beta stage now? I cant seem to install it

Just wanted to point out that there will not be any reset after the Open beta (the one that starts in two days).
Just look at all the events they've prepared. They've even got some lvl-up events. The only wipe will be the one from closed beta where everyone started with lvl 120 chars (or something like that).

And okay, I will go ahead and make a new topic which can contain all information about char names, which server we agree to play on etc. and ask some mod/admin to get it sticky. Will do that in a couple of hours.


Yes, right now it's closed beta, but that's another client, I believe. You cannot install the open beta client before two days We'll just have to wait.

I just realized actually, but thanks for pointing that out for me.

I think even with events they will wipe characters. Didn't they do that with final fantasy 14's open beta?

And LOL @ your sig quote haha!!

Why in the world would they want to wipe character data after an open beta? They didn't do that with Silkroad, as far as I'm concerned. It would be very stupid in my opinion. I mean, people spending silk etc. Nah, they're not going to wipe them.

If there are some major bugs during the Open Beta and that can always happen, they'd probably have to wipe all character data. A beta period is always for testing purposes and there can be unexpected things or major changes, which require a wipe after the beta period. Also it wouldn't be the first game with a wipe after the open beta period. So everything is possible. They can just redistribute the spent silk after the beta period and give out the event rewards again.

I've played games that they wiped after open beta. But hey, i hope they don't. So what exactly is this? I know Silkroad 2 has been a topic of discussion for years, but is this the silkroad we all know, just with updates? I don't entirely get it, why couldn't they just update the current client, like with past legend updates!?

Well, they probably could just update it on the other servers, but it wouldn't really change anything. The botters would just keep their high lv. characters and they wouldn't change their attitude. Also they made some major changes with the skills (especially for chinese) and decreased the sp requirements for them. Ok, they could just reset all the SP, but i don't think that's the whole point of this "revolution".

They want to make the game more legit friendly and they realized, that it won't really have a big impact on the community, if they would have just updated the old servers. Instead they keep the old servers and open a new one, which is more legit friendly to revive the game. If they make sure to keep this server clean, it will certainly be quite a good server for legits. Also with the legits spread over all the ISRO servers and private servers this is the chance to gather them on 1 (or maybe 2-3 servers) and make it a truely legit server.

First of all, Hideoko, nobody knows for sure. My personal belief is that this is in fact the game that previously went under the codename "Silkroad 2".
The reason why they didn't make this a legend update to the current game is hard to answer as well. Some say it's because they wanted a fresh start with new rates, and that it wouldn't be fair to change the rates at isro for all those who have spent a shit ton of hours getting to 110 or higher already.

Some would say that this is WeMade's version of Silkroad, which they will keep clean (lets hope so). And some speculate if Joymax just finally realized that isro kinda sucks with these rates etc.
My personal thought is that joymax wanted to start from a fresh start in order to make things better for the people who actually played the game like it's supposed to be played. Yes, I'm an optimist.


And Kronos. I know that a beta phase is for testing, and that bugs/exploits may occur and they might have to do a rollback etc. But they have not announced anything about a reset after the open beta. They announced that the closed beta chars would receive a wipe, but not the open beta.

That's why I believe their initial plan is not to wipe any information after the open beta. Now, I said initial, and by that I mean that they might of course - as you mentioned yourself - somehow be FORCED to do it due to a bug.

Im in and if it is worth of playing, ill recruit more ppl.

So basically, if Silkroad-r fails... SRO on official servers is doomed! If they can't get it to work here now, then pservers will remain the legit choice 'the majority'. I hope it works, the 20th will be interesting indeed lol.

+1

I will join and try to recruite my friends to SRO-R. But it will be hard to convince people.
The ones in isro are so addicted to their char, they do not want to leave their chars and start over. The ones in private servers are totally dislike Joymax for it'stheir bad reputation on legit people and also botters.

But I guess there are people who still think they may give Joymax one last chance for not screwing things up and make this game as it supposed to be.

I will create a will create a guild with a well known name if i can take enough people with me to SRO-R. If I can't get enough people I will join any guild you guys create. ^^

Cross your fingers guys, let's hope Joymax won^t act as a retarded company again. ^^


Ogh almost forgot...
OT: I TOTALLY SUPPORT YOUR IDEA ITSUNE. I was thinking the same idea but you posted before me.. "Me lazzzy azz menz... 10k guilt mambarz plız" ROFL

BTW do not make fun of a certain nation after i make this joke. FYI I am Turkish )))

Well, everybody wants a legit community. and we can't truly do that spread over different servers. So if this is good then everyone should. as there's no worry of servers being shut down 'pservers' and its actually legit to play on, unlike a pserver lol.

So, newest word on the block is that Silkroad-R IS in fact an update to ISRO and that this part of the beta test is just to test the leveling speed of the new system before it's implemented into ISRO.

Personally I call bull. Especially because it says "Conducting open beta test for the Official opening of Silkroad-R in 2012". If this was an update, they wouldn't use the words "official opening".

What are your thoughts?

I don't think so. On the teaser for Silkroad R, they said:



From what i see, they are planning to have silkroad and silkroad R running at the same time and they'll implement the changes only on Silkroad R, but who knows, i may be wrong about that.

Most botters are 120ff anyway.
So what's the point of lowering the sp/xp rates then?
Attracting new players? Hah, noone wants to start playing on a server where nearly everyone is ff120
Adding a shitload of new things (quest, sunitems from npc, ...) for lower levels (1-80), for what then? People don't play below 80, just sit afk for a few weeks at ongs & watch ur sp rise... Once farmed, start bot...
Cleaner silkroad?
That means banning nearly everyone above 110.
1 guy setting up his own lvling party isn't my idea of clean.
People with 12d sun+12 becuz they bought a lot of gold isn't my idea of clean.

They should make isro & sro-R:

Maintain isro for the botters & people that won't leave their legit char behind
And create sro-R for people that want to play it was intended to be played
Otherwise this "big" update will be useless
