Silkroad Online Forums

Hey, everyone.

SRF is maintained by the Team, which includes 2 administrators and 8 global moderators. They work hard to keep SRF the way it is, and try their best to keep the forum running as smooth as possible. You all should know that if you guys ever need anything - questions, complaints, suggestions - all of them are always available to help you as good as they can.

However, they are all normal people too. They all took the time recently to write a little bit about themselves for those of you guys who might be interested to get to know them a little bit better. Names, pictures, and a random assortment of information that may or not pertain to SRO.

If you're curious, read on!

Summary of SRF Career: Lurker since February, registered April 2006. I joined the moderation team on January 19th 2008 after I was asked to, I never applied to be a part of it. Aside from handing out public warnings on thread lockdowns and after banning, I work behind the scenes. I leave little trace of my presence and my actions, but do not make the mistake of assuming I'm not around.
I lack every sense of humour, so don't try anything funny. You might make me do something you will regret.
Favourite online/console games: Assassin's Creed (Xbox360), Thief: Deadly Shadows (PC), Mass Effect, Resident Evil

The most embarrassing moment of life: When a gentlemen tried to help me into my coat and I thought he was trying to steal it.
If I had one million dollars: I wouldn't stop at one million dollars. If it's multiplied by ten I'll start thinking about what to do with it.

Grats to cpinney, SM-Count and BrokenSaint for getting promoted to Global Moderators! You should update your profile thingies.

MasterKojito is no mod anymore
And i say Ryoko somewhere, his name isnt red anymore?
What is this

Ryoko's still here, just needed a change. The others didn't have enough time to mod since mod does take more time than you think and they just wanted back to normal member.

How sad and embarassing is that a silkroad forum moderator says that sro is the worst game ever, and locks the thread, isnt this a silkroad online forum.....??
happened today and im disappointed.

I agree with you. But just to make you know this is NOT the official forum of SRO. ;0
Just as many as other, but one of the best out there

It is the worst game ever idiot. Why lie about it.

Im disappointed that anyone thinks its a good game.

:l

I think the game itself is fine, it's just poorly managed. There are plenty of things that could be improved with the content and features, but as it stands, I don't think SRO is a bad game at all, other than how it's run.

SRO != bad.
Joymax and the lazy cheating community = bad. I don't see the lazy cheaters ever improving, but perhaps someday Joymax will. I won't hold my breath though.

WOW u too? no wonder other sites are ahead..

Most all moderators here do play the game casually, or did play the game for a long time. Its why they have the feelings about the quality of the game that they do. I have not played SRO in some years now.

Each moderator has different personalities. Some have soft edges, others have sharp edges.

Being discontent with the state SRO is in doesn't make them unqualified to do their job.

I understand your concerns about when staff or moderators come across as trolls, and Im not trying to suppress the communities opinion about that either. However, do remember these bits of information

1. This is a private forum and there are no governing 'rulesets' the forum must abide by.

2. All moderators here are volunteers. They are not paid. They are not customer service representatives and any actions they perform on the board is out of kindness from their own hearts and passion for the forums community.

3. I had Gyros for lunch.

The thread topic was "Silkroad the worst game ever." This is a silkroad fan site, and making a thread like that is bound to lead to flames. Locking it was natural, and my opnion remains the same. Why I ever played the game boggles the mind. What did I see? Sure, the first 40 or so levels were awesome, but then the botters came. Then europe came along with power leveling en masse followed by some fake half-assed ban list. Sorry, I'm not going to sugercoat the truth for you. I agreed with O.P., but locked the thread because it would cause a flame war. It's a Korean MMO that gets absurdly hard to level in once you hit around 70 and even then you're not half way there. The jobbing aspect was badly executed, the company sucks, the community sucks (yes, botters, scammers, hackers, assholes, and gold buyers suck), and it's not worth defending.

No other SRO site is ahead. SRT was, but that was ages ago. I dont see how them voicing their opinions is such a problem, especially when there are 100s of people that agree with it.

somebody needs to come to tsro to see the game alive again

I've seen the game alive, it was awesome. Now;

..mehh
