The state of the forum is directly related to the state of silkroad itself.
Compare silkroad now, to what it used to be.
Apply that to the forum too, and you have your answer.
Silkroad Then: Killing Tiger girl was fun =) Isy was an hour kill if not more and took half the server. Global chat was a rare treat you could only get at Christmas. The game was totally free to play. You could log in any time you liked. There were little to no bots. I never even saw a bot back then. Someone botting was a HUGE HUGE story that would be all over the forums. Someone being hacked or scammed was an EPIC event. It rarely ever happened and was unheard of. And the game was a lot of fun being around your friends. Leveling to 60 meant something, it was an achievement. A status symbol. A goal. I love that game.
Result: A nice fluffy forum with polite people enjoying the game.
Silkroad Now: Uniques don't mean shit. Twenty capped players will come kill tiger girl and laugh at the nub who tried to get her. Post on the forum and no one cares. Go away with nub unique. Global chats keep your chat box rolling, with "yo mom **** gm bot asshole free gold scam account buying silk botter". I can't even get in the game. I typed that Farking image verification like 20 times and gave up. I spent so much money on silk its Farking ridiculous. All so ya can go outside DW and get smacked down by bots. You couldnt even find a spot in the caves where there wasnt a bot. They were "par for the course" and no one gave a shit because reporting them does nothing. Being high level / capped doesnt mean shit because EVERYONE is high level and capped. So many botted toons its pointless. People get scammed every day, its now almost "acceptable" much like botting. Once your capped theres nothing to do but farm skill points, or make others miserable in jobs. Thats all. I spent so many hours just "standing around" donwang doing nothing.
Result: People who act on the forum just like they do ingame.
+1
edit i thought about a good answer to go with the +1 lol
its true the more people care about the game the more they care about the fansites, now its in a mess the fan sites get dragged down..shame
