Silkroad Online Forums

well i dono ive been playing silk for while and runescape 2i dono but silk road might win but runescape has more to it then just fighting well u choose i guess

Silkroad for me. I can’t stand the way Runescape looks, and therefore am very reluctant to put any effort into finding out what the game is about. I like the way characters look in SRO, like the skills, and like the jobs. Maybe a bit laggy sometimes, and bored as hell on quests, but I’ll stick to it 100%

And this should be in General discussion instead of characters & skills.

Priam.

I was waiten for this post lol
I played runescape for awhile,
but it's way too easy to level in that game.
I got 3 characters to level 60 in a week.
rediculous.
Unfortuneatley I can't seem to level worth crap on Silkroad.
poses quite the challenge.

Well, I've totally switched over to Silkroad now. Was lvl 115, with 99 range, but...it still don't cut it. The combat is way to random and the chat system in RS stinks...it's kinda like to easy for a-holes to talk, and there is so many of them in RS.

At least here, even if you have a great character, if you aren't on your game, somebody or something is gonna kick your *** , and I do like playing PvP, on silk, since you don't lose EVERYTHING when you die, unlike RS.

And the graphics....OMG, how the hell did I ever live in RS

Because in that game lvl 60 isnt even high. If you no life, it would take a week lol. Your not even considered "high lvl" until you hit about 100. Going for 100 is alot more frustrating. Prayer, other people, etc.

I was sooo addicted to runescape, it seems like ive played it FOREVER lol. Theres always something to do, go pk (the pvp system is ALOT better than SRO). If you didnt want to pvp, you could go raise your skills and make some serious gp if you raised the right ones. Woodcutting, Fishing,runecrafting, and mining. The thing is once you hit level 100, and raise all the skills you like. It starts to get boring, and all you will want to do is PK. Which is fine, until jagex messes it up somehow, (food lag). The wilderness, is the greatest pvp thing EVER. The way its set up so people can fight their own lvl if they wanted to, or they could go deeper and fighter high or even lower people is genius.

Im fairly new to SRO, and i like it, but im getting bored extremely fast, im getting tired of grinding, and i cant pvp because of the HUGE lvl difference.The quests dont seem as painful as runescapes, i hated their quests.

But all in all, i think runescape is a much better game. I also think you should play both, when you get bored by one, go on the other.

To anyone who hasnt played RS, you should check it out, its weird and boring at first, but once you get the hang of it, its ALOT of fun.


The pk system was the greatest in my opinion, if you didnt wanna lose your items, dont go there lol. Go to fightpits and duel arena to fight then. Wilderness was the true way to make money. The a-holes lol, well, theres those in everygame bud I agree the combat was fairly random, you could have lvl 75 pures, killing 110s or so. Its quite crazy, but thats what so special about RS lol. In this game, a lvl 20 couldnt even kill a 25 lol.

actually, IMO, Runescape was good until they changed the graphics to "3D"..
Before that, it was just a simple little game with some neat functions..

I was playing for 4 years, the highest lvl when I started was around 40-50, and Bluerose13x became a god shortly after. I quit once my members payment ran out after the '3D' came..

i went back to RS for a visit
and this is what i found

small screen
ridiculous fighting strategies
no short-keys (i kept pressing 1, 2, 3 until i realize its not sro)
running takes so long (DAM FATIQUE)
A new quest(which realli sucks)

however, its easier to log into RS
u can see how many ppl in the server
u can change server


lvl 86 Hyperterran

RS isn't as good but the company that runs runescape gives hella more updates and cares a lot more. But yeah runescape sucks

No offense, I haven't seen many posts from you with a single nice thing in them. Seriously, are you just full of flaming info or what?

Anyway, I'm also an RS person who came here. Not because the game sucks, far from it. It's JAVA based. If you can't get it through your head that Runescape is actually amazing for a Java based game that's free (Well p2p is much better), then I don't know what will. Lvl 95, every skill 50+ with one at 95 and every quest done(If you are suspicious, check their highscores, same name here). I left because the updates were getting no better. I played for almost 3 years (Classic I used a diff account) and I did take breaks, which made me keep coming back. I really don't care if you think the game sucks, it was better right around the RS2 was done, but it's still an ok game. There's a lot to offer in the game, and if you can get past the graphics, which you shouldn't soloey judge games on, then maybe you can find something fun in it, like I did.

But I really can't tell you which is better, RS quests are way more diverse, but SRO has a better community. Each game is better in some aspects, so you need to figure out which aspects you like.

yeah asually RUNESCAPE is a very boring game , Silkroad are much more better because its had a better graphics,character,job and Runescape are totally boring and have a ugly graphics look,the character are moving too slow and ugly.Yeah but i will vote for Silkroad 100% totally SRO should win. yup RUNESCCAPE LOSERR get ur ass away ...

And that's what I'm talking about right there. People rap their heads around the graphics and won't even go in depth with the game. And they feel the need to flame anyone who likes it, which doesn't improve their case very much.

lanjunjie? arrgh I swear I remember your name from somewhere, not sure where though

runescape have A LOT of small kids playing it... i see TONS of 6-7 years olds playing it.

ok compare

Runscape

-> QUESTS (10000% better than SRO) (Koreans have no imagination, seriously ever quest is the same from 1 till 65(i am 65))
-> Graphics (YUCK what can i say? this is waht ruins Runescape or else it'll be on of the best MMORPGs outthere)
-> Comunnity (I LOVED it... For people who thinks the community sucks, check runescapecommunity.com It is awesome. There are people who made clients(legal), pk stories, kills pics, vidoes, achievement pics and duels and tonnes more)
-> Complexity (Much more fun to play than SRO in the long term because there are soo much to do in Runescape(member) F2p suks. Well there are duels, King Black Dragon hunting, Kalphite queens, the quesnts are amazing. Pking(the best) and heck even go to world 1 and selling stuff/ so rare and quiet astounding of what u mind find)

-> Overall i liked Ruenscape more than SRO, ive played SRO for about 8months now and i am 65, and i must say the graphics are great to keep you going for like 40 or so levels max. At the end it really comes down to the complexity or the design and the gameply. And at that, Runescape far exceeds SRO IMO. Ofcourse the need triangluar conflict ( cough i dont see 3 conflicting only 2, since traders cant atk hunteres and neither cant hunters atk traders)

BTW i played Runescape for a really long time. About 3 years i think. And after that much time i still find the game enjoyable.

I miss RS

Well.
Silkroad:
BAD COMMUNITY!! VERY VERY VERY BAD!, just check the global chat that appears in 1 day, i bet you will see more offensive words there than your whole runescape life.
BAD CUSTEMER SUPPOERT! the worst ever! runescape staff respect their customer and they want to please him!, they even called me on phone for some information when i got hacked! *Over seas*
Runescape is very balanced and every part in the game is well designed, i agree about the garphices suk and its nothing like sro..
Item mall in sro made the game unfair for people that can't buy silk because they live on the wrong side of the world!, not like runescape.
In runescape there is Memebers worlds (servers) and non members servers, members has more weapons and skills but they can't use them vs non members, so this way non members wont feel that its not fair..
Runescape way better payment methods, i doubt there is any spot in the world that can't pay for runescape. (Paypal, any type of CC, back trasffer and even you can send money using western union)

I used to play runescape for 2 years or more and got really good in it, level 121 as i recall, but i made 1 mistake made the game boring like hell,
I got level 85 slayer, which made the money very easy for me and game got boring like hell..

I think runescape has security system better than sro because you have to enter a PIN using only your mouse every time you login so this wont be keylogged.

I Loved the idea of player mods there in runescape, good people will be mods and they can report autoer's (botters) to get them banned, swearing and cursing in runescape is illegal and you might get banned for it.( my friend got 3 days ban because he said F**K)

I was addict to PKing in runescape, we used to go out to the wilderness with my clan (FoM"Follower of Malkaiv) every night and kill there for hours, i made lots of money out there i even have videos of me pking if you wanna see.

best thing in runescape is that you don't have to grind all time like sro
Sro is 4 parts i think (grinding, thiving, trading,hunting) nothing more or less.
but runescape i can't even count what can you do there, if you don't like the idea of PVP you don't have to do it in runescape, i had a friend level 3 (lowest level there) and she had better skills than me, she just dosen't like pking and grinding..
My IGN in runescape was :deadly eyez
i gave my account to a friend there..

Man i miss going pking with clan, i miss going wars vs Damage Inc and other clans, and start calling names, i miss trying to lure people to multi area and then my friends kill them.
i miss my 3 whips pk's there with full ahrim..
But i already gave my account away and it suks starting all over after more than 2 years playing..
I miss the party my clan made to me when i got level 85 slayer.
friends droped stuff on the ground for every for over 10mil gold
BTW i think money in runescape is harder than in SRO

You know why? because parents used to trust and let their kids play that game, because the community is much better..
i know 40+ years old used to play this game with their kids!

In runerape instead of grinding on mobs you grind on rocks , aka mining , FUN!!!!! .. not!!

Ive played both. Runescape for much longer and heres my view.

Runescape-
1. For me personally the community was very bad.
2. Gets really repetitive
3. Im not playing monthy fees for any game.
4. The quests are better i will say that.
5. Alot of scammers and hackers in runescape
6. The Wilderness was a good idea
7. The way of losing 3 items when you died is stupid

Silkroad-
1. Of course much better graphics
2. Silkroad has skills
3. Also can get repetitive
4. Has a guild system and unions cant backstab during a war
5. pvp capes are a good idea you can really have a huge play war
6. Hunter Thief Trader idea is good
7. Dying system is better

Thats all i can think of for now

thats not everything..

deadly Eyes i love u in a non gay way ur awsome man some 1 that agrees that rs isnt gay now u got me going how about treasure scrolls or w/e there called i fcu.king love thoe omfg there so fun i go to lvl 105 ^__^

Fansite forums aside, walking around Runescape at a lower level basically equals plenty of random kids calling you a noob or saying they can own you. I was an avide Tip.It poster, and of course it's a much better community. But looking ONLY at the actual community in-game, much worse than what I see on SRO.

SRO = Pwnage, but it needs more than just plain GRINDING! Then I would love the death out of it!
RS = Kind of fun, I mean, you can talk to people while fishing and then make a lot of cash in the end, wich was fun, but in SRO, there's almost no talking compared to RS.

I agree the combat was fairly random, you could have lvl 75 pures, killing 110s or so. Its quite crazy, but thats what so special about RS lol. In this game, a lvl 20 couldnt even kill a 25 - Actually, I level 20 could kill a level 25 easily lol.

Let's all go back to rs!

I played runescape for a while too. Got the 3 main combat skills to 77 thereabouts and other skills as well. But I soon started summing the game up as one where you click on a rock for hours on end (or fishing spots or trees etc, you get the idea). The only reason there was more talking in the game was because the gameplay was so dead and repetitive. If you didn't talk to somebody while clicking on a rock for a few hours you'd go insane.

Of course customer service-wise, RS was the better of the of the 2 since they took much more stringent measures against botters. However, that's almost all that I find to be good about RS.

Roseonline was great, until gravity screwed us all over and reset the server. I tried starting a new character after that but I just felt no more drive after my lvl 125 scout was gone. I miss hunting Elder Mammoths and Dreadnaught Kings in lvl 50 parties. I miss temple runs to get Hg and Na lisents to get pimped up 40+ dodgerate gear. I miss a lot about rose... However, I heard gravity even screwed the RoseEU players by closing their server months after it went pay-2-play. This has made me quite reluctant to ever play anything they come up with again.
I also miss Torment (FS muse) and Ling (Artisan)... My best temple run and lvling party pals...

Edit: I'm starting to see a trend here. The better the game, the suckier the customer service...

let see i will do like this to compare between those 2 games

Runescape vs. Silkroad

-ugly graphics
-its suck when u die
-i think it only for little kids
- too much work in there like minding and choppin tree blah blah all that ..... shit stuff
- hella confusing game
-retarded community
-runnin and walkin in there are damm slow
-the map is so confusing it doesnt help like in sro
- the skill are suck plus weapon,too they all look like toyz for da kids
-its damm suck when ur not a member
-and alots of people sold their runescape account
and this is a story about a stupid guy too addicted to the game runescape

STORY
he asking for the guy in his school for a high level account and he pay that guy 10 dollar and then when he logged into game it only a level 5 character haha he is damm STUPID now because he put too much of his attention in runescape . Waste 10 buck for nothing including a damm low level char for only 10 buck . reatarded guy haha
I play RS for a while and its suck


SILKROAD

- Better graphics
-Cool character
- Cool Skill
- Cool monster
- Cool weapon including da SOS/SOM
- Places in Silkroad are very historical and original **** 5 stars for this
- But eventhought the game is LAG sometimes , but i don't see the lag much , i don't know why when i play everytime i play not lag much so i idnt enjoy da lag as much as the other players
- hackers and botters around THATS a problem , but its OK we enjoy the game ( hackers and botter will get block anyway )
- FUN community in SRO like guild/union
- GOOD job like trader/thief/hunter
-The defensive tools are very cool and also original ( the clothes i mean)
-Pet and alchemy system are better and cool

And that all i can think now and there i gave SRO all its good point and i cant even see all Runescape good point anywhere . cuz HELL NO i aint gonna play that game . If i quit SRO i prefer i will go to Dance game like Audition or i'll go to Silkroad Online Vietnamese Version well if Silkroad vs.Runescape all votes for Silkroad like always much love to all our members here and as long as SRO. Keep the lag./hacker./botters outta there and we gonna have a sunshine day in SRO like we always dreaming of.

how can people compare a lowly boring game like runescape to a great detailed NON boring MMO like SRO? In Runescape u just lvl this and that...It has totally no thinking like silkroad where u have to think about ur build...
