Silkroad Online Forums

Since my home computer crashed and I won't install SRO on my laptop, I started playing Runescape again. While playing, I actually realized that SRO isn't everything.
Because the quests actually have contents and thinking, instead of just the normal: get me a zillion of this, kill a billion of those, and that is just boring. Also, Rs has got free banking, prayers, and skills. For some of those skills you need an item you can wield as a weapon (f.a. Woodcutting, Axe, Mining, Pickaxe). The NPC's don't stand still, but they are moving. And the conversations between Player and NPC's can come out very funny.

Still, it would be even better if those graphics wouldn't suck that much, it wasn't playe by so many stupid kids an of course the macroers that make skilling a living hell.

And for the Magic, in stead of using those god forsaken expensive or har to make runes, RS could use some Int. and use that for magic, and that those runes are just to make things like teleporting, and useable for other skills.

Rs does kinda suck... and I'm not talking about the graphics or the other players again, but now I'm talking about that stupid Inventory. only 28 spaces. and then they want you to carry different kins of armour, because they suck, runes, alternative weapons, food, and potions. then you have to kill something that is like 50 levels higher then you, only for that quest because of the other quests are so simple you have finsihed them before level 50. SRO has at least all items stackable, to at least 10 things. in Rs you can only stack Arrows, Bolts and runes. but if you are coming prepared in RS, that doesn't mean you are prepared in food wise.

Then something for the SRO higher levels, Called PVP. In Runescape, just head north when walking around in the F2P area, an then you´ll get killed by anyone walking around there, or monster finding themselves tough. In Sro you can walk as northern as you can, but when walking around with a cape you’ll get killed. ONLY when walking around with your cape. Or when you’re not paying attention at those earth ghosts, tigers or Chakji´s(I've never got the chance to get higher)

Now something We'll all encounter in RS. Boredom. In SRO, when you get bored, you put on your Job Suit, kill some foes and earn some money. In Rs. you just HAVE to go fletching, or grinding, or Rune crafting when you aren't a member. And with those lousy movements and stuff(RS ex-Members see my point:P). But RS P2P at least have Minigames, which are useful for Combat or other skills.

Then ofcorse: the Gear.
RS's gar exsists from level 1 to level 61 of the same looking things,(i'm talking about Armour)which just has an other color when you have unlocke the new piece of gear. Sro's pieces of armour changes coor, shapes, signs, and those stuff. RS' armour doeschange later on with those Dragon armours, but those are very expensive, require high levels of wornage, and hard to get.
RS is working har on new looks trough Tresure trails rewards, but most of those items are random, extremely hard to get and incredibly expensive when buying from other players.
So in this case, the Sro armour win, but still the Tressure Trails system is also great.
If you talk about runescape robes,you talk about the Silk Road Garments. But in stead of robe legs, the RS robe bottoms are skirts, so not very musculant.
The weapons of Runescape are also easy to remember. they all look the same with just an other color. Again, Dragon weapons look diffrent than the others. Tressure Trails again gives various other weapons then the regular you're used to, but Dragon and TT are for members only, so the F2P players will bore to death by only looking at the weapons...SRO weapons look different by every new "New level Weapon" and that is how I like it.

Give your own Pro's and Cons about Silkroad and Runescape...

Would a Blend ever be possible?

Would you like a blend??

lol

First, agree with above.

Second, stopped reading after

I never finish reading long ass posts like that

But did agree to bits of it that I have read..

we've discussed this before

and no shit

rs has better gameplay but its graphics suck because its duh java based

and its already clear that an RS + SRO game would be outstanding

Nice thought, but it won't happen

Seriously?

+1 hes right u people just dont give the game a chance becuz tons of kids play it and u ppl just cant stand the cheap gfx but did u ever see the first version of runescape?

ya rly!

Maybe it's just me, but I fell I outgrew one-click game play a decade or more ago.

a blend would be great, but you cant take my wildy away from me.
just stay out the wildy fool.

it even tells you when you enter the wildy, HELL it gives you a warning, and even ask you if your sure you wanna enter.

if thats not enough then i dont know what is.
sadly Jagex + Joymax = ARRRRRGH [they just dont go well knahmean??]

whilst Runescape+ SRO =

wasnt there already a thread like this

I've started playing runescape again has well and I agree a mix of runescape and SRO would be awesome

Been wanting to use this for a while now : )

imo, rs w/ sro gfx > wow

LOL There arent any races in RS. R u sure your not one of those young people you speak of.

lol awesome im saving it XD

rewind,

I meant thedifferent NPC races like those Barbarians, Dwarfs, Wearwolves, Gnomes, Ogres, Goblins, Dorgeshuun, ya'll know what I mean?

you mean that as just plain wow or as WoW??

perfect game = RS with SRO-graphics

rly? i see it as ++++++ Actuly its realy interesting. Deeper you go its more dengerous. If you in lvl 1 wildernes you can fight same lvls. If you go deeper. example your in lvl 30 wlderness You can kill can be killed [-30Yourlevel+30] Get it? I thnik its interesting. And always My blood was hot when i was going with my friends hunting some jerks Well best build for wildies are archers and mages btw. I prefer mages At low levels pretty easy 1-2hit higher lvls.
