How did you discover SilkRoad Online ?

Crumpets · Post by **Crumpets** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 6:38 am

I was wondering, how did you guys get in contact with sro?

I remember never ever playign an mmo before, but having this really weird freind who downloaded atleast 5 a day. He recommended it but I was liek jeez SilkRoad sux and what not. Yet I have grown a passion for silkroad because of that dude. In one way thankfull, cause I met some interesting people, on the other hand I am lacking in certain fields in my social life now =/

Anyways answer the poll!

LOL well this is very sad, ages ago i used to play this game called R.O.S.E. online and it was my first ever mmorpg. Then they made the game so that you had to pay for it so i couldn't play anymore...as i was only about 11 at that time...then a while after a disovered a new game called FlyFF which was a little bit like R.O.S.E. but was definatletly not as good. After not playing FlyFF for ages due to not being able to log in (servers too crowded basically impossible to log in) i stopped playing mmo's for ages then i saw a sro article in a forum (i forget which forum) and i donloaded it and here i am. lol well yeah :roll:

My friend Sean Coldewey was trying to hang out with me. (He lives in iwoa i live in cali). So we were like "DUDE Lets play an MMO!!!11"

I hated mmo's at that time. I had only played GunZ (which I cant get to work anymore) and uhm. Gunbound.

SOoo yea. he was like lvl 21. and when I saw him i was all "DUUDE your armor is SOO COOL!!! I bet you're the strongest guy on the server right??"

And we were on XIAN ahahahah.

Took me a month to get to lvl 20. then i quit that char.

Now im on olympus.

I quit playing from March until July. because the "Item Mall" was installed on the game and I didnt want to pay for the game.

Anywho. so here I am now. my friend is souless_one in the guild, when you join it Plus.

My friend played it for a while... he was like lvl 16 or 18 and i thought: omfg this is the most boring game in the whole world... i will never play this...

Then he got to lvl 20 and he could ride a camel! well that was why i wanted to play itXD So i thought: what the heck i will download it too and will see if i like it...

After a few months i was lvl 41 and he 28 lol^^

This was in january 2006... (beginning of this year) had that char, other lvl 42 char and a lvl 43 char that got hacked... now lvl 25 again...

But this is how i began to play silkroad! Glad i installed it^^

Friends' reccommendation. We used to play UT2k4 before he got reccommendation from another friend of his. So yeah basicallt when we stop playing UT for the day , we switch over to SRO, which explains the reason for my low level after 4 months of playing it. :roll:

Priam · Post by **Priam** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 7:43 am

I was in school.. Bored like hell and a friend of mine started playing SRO. SO I was like? Wtf is that. He kinda (not very good) explained to me what it was and how it worked. So I downloaded the installer, and made a char. (a real crappy hybrid bow on oasis, didn’t even know I was hybrid lol, it was weak). My friend rerolled and we went to lvl 14 together that day. Been hooked ever since. (and ofcourse rerolled to :p)

nightbloom · Post by **nightbloom** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 7:55 am

SOmeone told me that Peenerener and lemon were playing this game and I was all like OMG, I GOTTA PLAY TOO!

Seriously.. A bunch of us came here together from another game called Ferentus. CC is still in my guild today. A friend of ours told us about it and we were all kinda smitten.

By chance really.

I was looking for a good mmo to play. After browsing around looking for one, I came along a topic on a forum about Silkroad. It looked pretty nice to me, installed it, and got addicted

I had stumbled upon this game a year ago or so. It looked by far the best game that was free and I had never played a MMORPG before. As for version I first played, not sure but I was on Xian and there was global talk, so guess it was after Item Mall had been around?

I played ferentus a short while back, good game, abit lacking in action though :\

A 3D Modelling friend of mine suggested that I play SRO. He must have quit late feb, but I'm still going.
