Most people that play marketplace/free mmos are too young to pay for a real game. I played SRO because there are a lot of vulnerable young teens, most of them with webcam. They'll do anything for free silk.

Too bad you didn't have a daughter. Maybe you would play with barbies.

i play silkroad cuz i played it before when the game was perfect , so i know how good it is for real
for the time i have been playing it , bicheon combos are not even close of being nice as they were in the beggining. Heuksal skills are far from being as cool as they were in the 70 cap xD
at that time having those chains would make some ppl ask u
"man plz use that heuksal lvl69 combo"

buuuuuuuuuuuut the game has evolved so much, also all my friends still play with me since the beggining ^^

@ YoMama Ooh! Lucky you! Give me free item plzz?

@ Spader Duh! If i didn't like to play i wouldn't, as a matter of fact i don't... Not now anyway, i might do later this evening when i feel like it :roll:

@Troopa That's one of the things that makes it hard for me to find another game, i like the job system too. Like in WOW, yeah sure BG is fun but it's not the same thing... The funny part is that i never been high level enough to actually play as a thief or a hunter haha. Really weird ^^

Ever heard of world pvp?
BG is mostly to get geared up, pvp on wow is much more then just BGs

Anyway, quitted some months ago due to pure boredom

And trust me, if you get used to walking with a,s,d,w.. you will get crazy if you go back to sro >.>

Oh yeah, i just didn't think of it at the time ^^ Well i didn't like that either -there were always some higher level that would kill me so i never enabled "free pvp". I did get used to w a s d, and as you said it was a pain to go back to mouse clicking hehe

Heh so most of you only play to pass time? Not cuz it's fun? ^_^

Well it isnt rlly fun getting owned in pvp by a level 90 who loves to kill lowlevels and hasent even trained more then 20 levels without a bot.

nor grinding (well trying to) when a level 70 nuker is standing next to you 1hitting everything. so yeah its just to pass time for me, only thing i do enjoy is hanging around with my guild etc opening pandora's etc.

I have nothing that makes me play SRO, oh yer i quit! xD But yer i did play for my guild/union. Apart from that the game has declined from what it used to be.

Just to pass some free time, whenever I have any to spare lol.

I played a long time ago and even then it was more for the people (Guild and union) so much as the gameplay. Although I've always had a soft spot for sro :love:

Flightmeck · **Posted:** Wed Aug 20, 2008 12:15 pm

Sweet so there actually are people who like the game itself, not only their friends :roll:

@ Kayson, okey

What level are you and what job do you have? Do you think it works well to job at your level?

I am lvl 35 atm, Pure str Rogue, and jobbing is horrible at my lvl. Well, thieving is anyway. Jobbing is a lot harder after the jobbing updates.
I keep thinking to myself "Just 10 more levels and I can start jobbing". So I keep playing in hopes I will be able to thieve and actually kill some merchants...

I first started playing because it was a good game at first e.g. good graphics, game play was good, easy lvling (at low lvl). Then it got boring near 50+ lvl but then made Internet friends and decided to carry on playing. I got to lvl 70, since a year ago the game has gone down hill but i still play because im a sro addict. So i use to play for fun but now i play cuz i cant stop my self from playing which is kinda not good. Dont get me wrong i only play for 3 hours aday so its not like 12 hours + like most peeps. But i think i would be less stressed and angry if i didnt play tbh.

But that wasn't the question i was asking >.< I asked what peoples motivation for playing was, not if i liked playing it myself. >.< And you didn't exactly answer that question so unless you're going to post anything relevant to the main question i suggest you... *Grrrrr....* :banghead:

Why do you need people to tell you whats fun, there are loads of fun in sro but there are loads of sh*t in sro aswell. Imho the fun ways up the bad sh*t.

FW, Guilds, Unions, Grinding :love:

, Unique hunting, Events, Job Wars, Guild Wars (did I miss something?).
Bots, Server traffic, Passive Joymax, The majority of the players are @ssholes (did I miss something?).

Uhmmm why do i play sro....cuz i like to spend money4nothing

yea basically. Silkroad is not something to invest $25+/- a month on to play. It's more of an addiction to most people.

I don't, and if that's what you think this topic is about -then you're wrong!
And by the way, why should i give a shi* if you call me "Mulle Meck"? If you want to provoke me more -then go ahead but i ain't going to respond to you anymore!

edit
@ Kayson -Okey

how does it work in that level, can any hunter regardless of their level attack you? It was a long time since i had a ig job so i have practically forgotten all about it ^_^

I play because the high lvl gear/wep/skills looks awesome
and CTF makes pvp fun at any lvl..

and when you waste all the time, silk, and effort to use them you find out you could get the same results with a 10 min pk2 edit.

Because it was fun before euro update but now there is no turning back. Also the nice graphics, easy leveling, and fun pvp. Most of my friends play it too.
