The Verification has been added to try to reduce the number of bots auto-logging and taking up server space.

I've noticed that when servers are crowded you have to enter the verification cosde pretty quick if you don't wanna miss your opportunity to connect.

Indeed. Attack rating doesn't actually increase the damage you do per se, just pushes your hits closer to your max damage. As an example, if you have a bow that has a physical attack value of 80-100, your actual damage could be anywhere between that figure. The higher your attack rating is, the more...

They don't need your password. If they can find out your username (not character name) and email address they can steal your account. Make sure you never give anyone your username and use an email address nobody knows about just for playing SRO. Makes it very difficult for peeps to hack you. Oh, and...

What really takes the piss is when you're low level and tanking, say, a giant Tiger, and some 6x ass stands next to you, waits for the last shred of energy, and 1hits for 6k damage. Seriously, apart from proving how annoying you are, what's the point? Almost nil exp, no drops, no kudos. Stop it. Now.

Don't worry, I made the same mistake too first time around =D Was stuck in grind mode (brain disengaged) so neglected to read the quest desription properly. Saw him say Bori needed herbs and set off on my first run to DW. Wasted god knows how many pots to get there before realising I'd ballsed up. N...

The Gold Dragon Flags were an event item given in exchange for collecting Jewel Boxes. At present you can't get one unless you buy it from a stall. However, there should be an easter event and there's a possibility that they may be featured again (although personally I hope not ) Regarding price I'm...

Usually that message only appears under these circumstances: -You are not able to connect to the game server because your internet connection is not active or has other issues (like firewall, proxy, etc.) -Your ISP has been blocked by JM. If so, you might have to use another computer to play. -The s...

Any ideas whether the comment about the runtime error is a general one or is just Vista-specific?

Would be nice to run SRO on my crappy laptop with its lame, unsupported graphics card, lol.

Any name or for something specific?

How about Thora Hird? That's pretty cool.

Lol, what a quality site!

I must take advantage of this unique offer immediately.

*enters user name, pass and server*

=D


Seriously tho, I could code a site like that in 5 mins and it would look more official than that heap. The most tragic part is that people will still fall for it.

Excellent decision made by the mod team I feel. As a newcomer to the board I've already been slightly shocked by the sheer volume of trash that gets posted here, seemingly with no comeback whatsoever. Just a quick note, a scan of the member list shows just over 8000 of the 14000 registered members h...

Noob question - I'm using buffs constantly while grinding, but they don't seem to have much of an effect. Does this change as you level and max your skills?

To clarify, I'm lvl 22, Pure Str. I use Flame Body, Fire Protection, Must Piercing (not expecting much from this one anyway) and grass walk.

Accounts admin for Toyota in the UK. It's my job to make sure all the parts and materials suppliers get paid so that we can keep supplying the UK with nice, shiny, reliable, boring cars. I also have a lot of systems development and project work as part of my day-to-day role (currently Polish VAT >_<...

Sorry if I've offended you with my personal opinion. I certainly didn't intend to do so. However, I don't think my critique deserved such a hostile response. I certainly am not in a position of misunderstanding. For starters, I am completely against racism or prejudice of any form, but my above phil...

The other day I woke up early and saw a man in a uniform putting something through my door, so I ghost-walked down to the letterbox and found an envelope there. God, I was scared - it had my name and address on it, but I'd never seen that man before so I know I hadn't given him my details... Then it...

Just to add my two cents - chavs cannot be compared to any race or class as they are neither. Chavs choose to be chavs, they are not born like it. If you do wish to draw a comparison, in the UK, Chavs generally represent the misguided youth 'culture' (used in the very loosest sense) of the working c...

Isn't this marketplace material?

Wow. There really are some callous people on this forum. Considering I've only just registered today I'm guessing my comments won't hold much weight, but I'll share them anyway. Firstly, the submitter indeed may or may not be telling the truth. Unless he returns there's really no way for us to tell....

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

Don't worry, SuicideGrl, I've already read the rules (similar to most forums with SRO specifics tacked on), and I don't plan on starting any flame wars.

However, I have packed an extra pair of asbestos underpants following Demarthl's advice =D.

It might not be 'messed', you just might have a fair amount of work if you want to max out your skills at your higher levels. I can't confirm this (maybe some of our more experinced members will do that), but IMO it's up to you as to when you actually farm, if you want to. If you're playing for fun,...

It depends entirely on the player. It's more than possible to level without a GT, but it's down to whether you have the patience or not. If you're playing SRO with the sole intention of levelling, you're in for one hell of a dull ride. Be prepared to disengage your brain for long periods of time. If...

Some good points raised here. I agree completely that the players determine the economy, and not JM. While everyone continues to copy other traders' inflated prices nothing will change. However, while this is not ideal if you're looking to buy something specific, it does mean that it's easy to compe...

@Satman TY for the welcome. My main char is pure STR atm and it's an enjoyable build indeed. I'm currently grinding mobs 4-5 lvls above me and cpoing pretty well (unless I get surrounded =S). @pingpongboss Thanks! Believe me it was pure luck all the way, lol. Got mobbed by a fair few Chakjis and Tig...

I've been lurking here for a little while, so I thought I'd make it official and register! I've played SRO for almost a year now, but have never really bothered to play 'seriously' until recently. As a result, I've just got my first lvl20+ character and he's doing ok. Completed my first 1* trade run...
