if sro2 was released when i have time to play it you can certainly expect to see me trying it before the bot fest takes over

I'd definitely play it.

Also another thing, the historical aspects of it. That you can actually find Karkorum/Dunhung/Changan on the map, so it's not completely imaginary things :soosad:

the whole game is based on a real thing, the silk road was very famous for connecting places, bring trade etc

Did people got robbed regularly on the Silkroad in real life?....Because I took an helluva ass whooping in terms of being robed in SRO....Pure int doing solo trade runs is a big no no...

I imagine a lot of robbing was happening back then. We're talking about all the way back in 206 BC and a span of about 4,000 miles. I'm sure some not so nice people found a way to make a lot of money off of other poor souls.

Map of actual silk road. You can make out Jangan (Xian), Downhang, Hotan, Samarkand, Const, and ofc Alex/Baghdad.

Also Tarim Basin, Taklamakan Desert, the chakji river

It would be funny and weird if we all took a tour of that cave......We could even fuck with the tourists as we dressed up in SRO clothing carrying weapons running with pets behind us into the cave entrance.....One of us stopping to dry hump the wall...A tourist would be like.."Why is that one behaving like a robot?"

I'd play SRO2 if the only things it kept from SRO were the alchemy system and some of the artwork. The rest of the game needs a complete overhaul before I got anywhere near playing it.

We should also try taking horses to see if we can get in with them.

lvl 60 Horsepower? ^

omier · **Joined:** Aug 2006 **Posts:** 5985 **Location:** ...

Ironclad, still the strongest horse in the game, because running around on a lvl 60 horse in a 130 area is so much fun.

Damn. I wish I had all of my old screenshots left. The 2005 and 2006 ones would be pretty interesting to look at.

Actually, I have been thinking to take a trip there for quite some time now
There is now even a Samsung commercial talking about the Silkroad

It was probably supposed to be SRO2 stuff. Maybe not initially, but that's the direction they were going later.

Here is a question.....How many of you here would actually try an SRO2 if they released one....

Well you know the answer to that bud, but this time it be done with "one character"
The classes are similar so we know the score on that.

Haha, this post!

animations, skills, pvp, jobbing, uniques(kinda), guilds, I feel like the game was really well made and I had a blast playing it. I'd say silkroad was THAT game for me, there isn't a game for me from the genre to this point that replaces it. Not that I will play it again (not even private servers, you know rates and shit being terrible on isro), but damn this game was awesome.

Has SRF got anyone a bf/gf though?

two on xian of sorts anyways

big one was Moogie and Demarthl, ingame couple, briefly got together then things went sour shame really they were lovely people wish they would swing by from time to time.

the other is Fly and Nightbloom, not sure if they are actually a couple but they were close certainly. iv seen a few others from non noteable members

DarkJackal and Sacchin, they sorta had a thing way before sro even.

*cough*
