Silk Road Online

[Travis]

Anybody here playing this?

http://www.silkroadonline.net/

Free multiplayer RPG that is in it's (I believe) third beta. Started up last night on the Babel server.

If any of you are on there, my (only) character's name is Saven (currently level 6).

For anybody interested, here is a pretty good forum as far as creation, strategy and tips for the game (from what I can tell so far that is).

Joined and logged in...and HOLY SHIT there are a lot of players standing around selling crap. Put the Lineage II inspired point and click method together with 150 players standing side by side in a makeshift flea market right where the first NPCs are located and voila! No way in hell that I can find out how to play. It's the Asian shitfest that is Rose Online combined with pretty graphics a la Jade Empire. Add into that a game that from the very title looks to be very player-run-economy oriented and I'd be shocked if the game isn't bankrolled by IGE or a gold farming outfit like them.

I have to shower now. And maybe cry.

This game is a terrible MMO, like almost all korean produced, free MMOs. The game play is simple and dumb. When i tried to play, it was barely translated into english. The skill system is flat and uninteresting. Loot drops are absolutely random.

Not worth wasting your time on.

Wow, looking at that a couple hours later, I really must have hated the game to swear that much. Hmm.

So I started... funny Engrish. But since I'm just buying time until the Nintendo DS Lite is released, I'll get familiar with this game for now. :P

I started a character on the top server, the new one... other servers showed "Crowded." My player's name is ConaLevesque.
