now i m in China for 3 mth holiday and cannot play iSRO cuz ip banned so i decided 2 try on cSRO, below is my own exp:

1. i play a str fire glaive now lvl 23 on division 1 ( which is faster cuz div 1 is more for southern part of China and div 2 is for northern part ISP )

2. Jangnan is crap empty wif at less than 4 stalls at any 1 time, which mean i hv 2 get most of gears fr NPC cuz no 1/v few ppl are selling low lvl stuff
DW is only abit more crowded(less than 30 stalls) when at night and i can find lvl 20+ gears in stalls

3. drops are VERY rare, mayb juz my rotten luck but even normal non-sox drops rate lk clothes weap is MUCH lower than wat i exp in iSRO

4. at least 40% of ppl in my server is lvl 80-90

5. The much talked abt auction house system is indeed VERY convenient amd easy 2 use cuz u can find the stuff u want in a few min (NOTE: aft u search something on the auction system, u nid 2 wait 10 sec before u can search another item again)
the nt so gd pt of system is u cant negotiate price wif the seller, u can oni negotiate if u find the stall and enter 2 negotiate (my chinese typing is god dam slow so most of time i m 2 lazy to negotiate)

6. NO autopot is realli NOT convenient at all, u can realli 4get to pot when u are 2 used to iSRO autopot
and when u tank multiple mobs at 1 time, u will be super busy wif ur skills + hp mp pots buttons , tt can realli piss u off and u can die easily if u 4get to pot hp

7. botting seems 2 be prevalent and Ok in cSRO cuz they even hv exp distr parties named "botting parties overnight" in chinese, no 1 objects 2 it and every 1 seems fine wif it too

8. despite the botting, the grinding places (at least for me until lvl 23) are empty, u feel so relieved to see such vast places w/o any 1 ksing u or something (NOTE: cSRO players do come and ks ur giants w/o apologising or saying anything, so bear wif it cuz u cant curse back in chinese ^^)
but u can realli find easily some empty places 2 grind, i thk cuz realli there are not much Chinese ppl playing tis game

9. elix is expensive
shield elix = 80k. prot elix = 80k, weap elix = 450k, acc elix 80k
mayb cuz there are nt as many players compared 2 iSRO so the prices are higher

but 72+5 glaive full blue only 5 mil, and 52 SOS +3 blue blade is 16 mill
( i hv oni 300k now at lvl 23 )

10. 2+ star traders are everywhere (most lvl 20-40, 1 star trades does exist but its quite rare, high lvl thief cant b bothered wif low lvl multistar trades
there is job war of theif vs hunter unions outside DH everyday (all lvl 80-90), the fights are so big that at least 30+ high lvl players are involved each time, i saw 1 time of over 100+ players job warring

11. forget to add somemore pt, there is death lag just the same as in iSRO, i duno why the hell it still lags when there is SOOOO few ppl playing (i use 2MBps internet at home and usualli every 10 min or so there is a 5 sec freeze and mob still attacking u, EVEN WHEN in the morning where my ping to the game is lk super low 10ms)

12. if u understand Chinese,u will find tt 90% of the globals are scolding and cursing the GM lk there is no tomorrow, some curses are realli funny lk fck GM for the lag, hope GM whole family dies in car crash blah blah, did GM juz fck wif Isy? why doesnt Isy spawn for past 1 day? that kind
GM doesnt make any announcement at all also

13. u can trade item mall items wif silk gold in game, there are alot ppl selling rabbits/GT/Astral/globals for silk golds
monkey abt 13million, global abt 300k each and so on


tts all i can thk of atm wif my playing exp
if u hv any more things 2 add wif ur own exp, feel free 2 do so in following threads and if u hv any more qn , can ask it here 2

Very Nice info .. I'm gonna try it .

and BTW i think they call it "botting parties" because of the 900% exp bonus

Or they are really botters

..

oh and what is auction >> is it wide trade system ?! that all the stuff in stalls combine in one page ? ( as i understood from what u said )

if thats the case ,, that will save so much time and effort for searching stuff

Thanks ,, really good info

900% exp bonus is oni implemented in the Euro patch( still closed beta testing) NOT the normal cSRO client, autopot is also there in the new patch



maybe 2nite i will make a screenshot of the auction system,
its not realli auction, but just a search function

NOTE: u can only use the auction function when u are in town JN,DW,HT
u press "F", a page comes out, there are 3 filters on top, 1st filter let u choose clothes, acc, weapon, job gear, elix (and some more cant realli rmb), 2nd filter let u choose types of 1st filter, 3rd filter chooses the Xth degree where X is 1-9

eg. so if u want a 4th deg garment in DW
1st filter set to Chinese defence, 2nd filter set to Garment, 3rd set to 4th deg and every thing of 4th deg garm in all DW stalls will show in the search page results (all those stalls registered wif the auction system, usualli all stalls will register)
(of coz u nid to b able 2 read Chinese to do tis)
there is a time span of 10 sec b4 u can proceed wif the next search

AND when u stall, there will be a prompt asking u if u wanna register ur goods for sale wif the auction system, so when ppl search wif the auction system, they can see ur items

in the search result page, there will be icons of items for sale matching ur filter, so u just need to hover the mouse over the icon and u can see all the stats of the items on result page, u can then buy the item fr the result page if u are satisfied wif price and stats

If you want to farm at lvl 16 on Bandit Archers, it's empty hehe

And UNIQUES the uniques are alone, i have seen TG survive half an hour before she gets killed. The only uniques that die "fast" are Yarkan and Saytan because the high levels are there and don't die that fast anyway because they are lvl 80-90 so...

I saw TG at lvl 13 and attacked her but inmediately spawned tigers all around and killed me ^^

That's the first time i saw TG.

So yes, i like cSRO, it's much better than iSRO imo. I'm not a hardcore player so i don't care about the lack of people. Though i would like some autopot hehe

yes the WHOLE bandit stronghold is empty when i went there
but 16 SOX bows are hard to find, i dun even see ppl stalling/global selling or buying it at all, mayb they all dun believe in sp farming archers at 16 huh?

Maybe they are smart and don't like to spend 2 months (maybe more) of their lifes killing the same mob. I know farming at later levels is the same thing but i +++ the later farming because leveling is slow anyway, you don't need to commit suicide each hour to get max SP...

i thk its more bcuz that half of players are lvl 80-90 so the price of lvl 52-72 items are realli cheap

Yeah that might be a reason too hehe
Anyway... cSRO pwns iSRO... i hope i never put a step on that evil thing again (some people try to convince me but i won't)

But the best bonus is that there's no GameGuard.

About the auction house thing, its actually the stall network. It basically shows whats in all the stalls by category.
(Note:Must be around stalls to work). If your in ksro and need help with it, I can tell you which ones what. I think csro should be the same, but in chinese. The shortcut key is "F" on the keyboard.
