lol you people amuse me. you all say things like this and yet you STILL spend 30mins+ every day trying to log on during peak times. you STILL grind for hours against bots which will do the same work in half the time. you STILL play every day despite all the things that are wrong in the game. why? because you all love this game, and you know it.
the simple fact is that SRO is NOT dying, nor will it ever die until Joymax pulls the plug. why? because it is an attractive-looking, well put-together game with interesting skills, a unique combat system, and thousands of players - both paying and non - spread across the world in every time zone. what you all fail to realize is that for every one of you who comes on here and a) quits, b) complains constantly about things they can't control, or c) bashes JM for the quality of their experience, there are 50 more of us who just log on every day and enjoy it for what we can get out of it. bots suck. not being able to log in sucks. the inflated economy sucks. but i love this game. i love the people in it, i love my guild and union, and i spend the majority of my small amount of free time either playing SRO or dealing with it elsewhere, such as being admin here at SRF.
Joymax are not liars. They are not lazy. They are not in league with gold buyers. They are not in league with bot companies. The truth is that they are working their asses off every day to make this game a success. they are NOT sitting there in Korea living like fat rats lining their pockets with our money and doing nothing. here's something to ponder: just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there. just because you have NO IDEA what happens daily in the JM office doesn't give you the right to assume ANYTHING about how those men and women do their jobs.
my advice for all the complainers, the JM bashers, the quitters, and the other intolerable personalities out there is to either learn to live with and enjoy SRO the way it is or go find another game.
All i can say is BURN!!!
