Silkroad Online Forums

Too bad it does cost more than SRO in most cases. Do you have statistics that SRO players spend at least $25 a month on silk? Nope your argument is based on your own opinion. I'm pretty sure that those people who say "wow costs too much" probably don't spend that much on silk themselves or else they would play wow instead. So I really don't see who your argument applies to.

in some cases,it does yes.
however,i think you would surprise the amount of money that people spent on silk.
unless babel was an exception to the rule

from what ive seen,there were more people who payed $20+ a month,then people who didn't

I don't know what beguiles me more, your argument or your grammar. So exactly how many people have you interviewed? And most of them paid $20 a month on silk?

hahaha.
so ....you couldn't think of anything to say,so lets just start picking on the grammar.
pretty weak.
im not an native english speaker,im still learning it at high school.
and tbh,for my class im pretty damn good at it.

and actually,yes ,most people i play with, and saw around me had a premium ticket.
some of them had an monkey.

but as most had a prem ticket,you can already assume they spent $20 a month.
maybe they spent more on things like astral or immortal

So in fact it's just "most people that you played with" spent silk right? I don't think you have evidence to assume that "most players spend $20 a month on silk".

yes,most people i know in a very big union,and the people i saw in downhang walking around and pvping.
i never said everyone has a prem.
there are alot of them tho

Well then maybe you should be arguing to them that WoW is cheaper than SRO instead of here in the forums.

Fact: WoW costs about $15/month
Fallacy: You must buy BC
Oppinion: BC is good at about lvl 50

Fact: SRO is free
Oppinion: Nearly impossible to cap in SRO without spending at least $20/month on silk

I honestly do not see how anybody can argue that a person who is seriously going to play an MMO can think that SRO is cheaper. Even if there was no such thing as silk, $15/month is more than fair for being able to log on first try every, and I mean every, time, GMs smashing bots, and an intricate system that makes KSing nearly impossible. I for one never spent a dime on SRO. I also couldn't take the grinding chores past level 40. Again, I guess it's just your style of playing. If you prefer mindless level grinding to group quests and instances then SRO is the game for you. But I do not see the validity of stating that SRO is cheaper. Please name 1 legit capped SRO player who never bought silk. In comparisson, my friend capped his WoW character legitimately in 14 days worth of playing time. Not bad, eh?

why should i,i never heard that argument going on there.

i see it being used it here all the time

but im off,gonna sleep

yea u got a point because on SRO it seems like JM is trying to make us pay $50-$70 a month to play the game some ppl actually pay $120 on this game.....I guess I should rephrase my question to why should we pay $50-$70 dollars on a game that's supposed to be free?

I agree with Pysch

I don't like it but tons of others do.

Only one way to find out.

That's the point I'm trying to get at. You don't HAVE to pay anything for SRO thus making it cheaper than WoW. You want to try SRO, just download, make a character and you're all set. Play WoW: $20 for the game.

not trying to be a dick or anything, but technically you can d/l WoW for free from their website too and play it for 10 days for free which imo is more than enough time to figure out if you like it or not.
