From the official silkroad site:

For a long time, there has been a stalemate between Merchants, Hunters and Thieves in Silkroad.

However, the delicate balance has been broken. The Game Masters have finally decided to be the Standard bearers of each opposing faction.

To whom shall the Balance of Power tip? It's up for you to decide.

[Event Schedule]

- This event will be finished in the last day of the event before server inspection on Oct 26, 2010.
- Event will be held two times on all servers during the whole event period.

[Event Procedure]
1. GM will announce the start of event in-game.
2. Players who want to participate should wear job suit cape and should proceed to the Thief regroup point or Hunter/Merchant Regroup points to be specified by the GM Hunter-Merchant/Thief Leader.

This is going to be considered the first decent event since they had Pandora scrolls.


Edit: Up until players can't kill the GM or some bug happens to ruin it anyways.

Not necessarily, Avalon proved that with good teamwork, a few can hold out against many. Of course, I doubt there's still anyone that could put together such teamwork of those still playing.

Aege server is 95% Hunter/Trader

I was going to say the same thing. Although, they could put level restrictions on the groups so maybe a group of 25-30 lvl thieves/hunters can battle. Good luck to those levels killing a GM though, unless the GM lowers his HP/MP and other stats to match.

high lvl is 101+. rest is low lvl anyway and most ppl who buy Silk, and alot of Silk are 101+ so why should Joymax make an event for ppl in low levels? They want ppl stay at this game and pay for it and because of that high level content gets added. Thats how it works.
if its good or not for most ppl is another thing... but best way for joymax.

That's the only downside to this event unfortunately.....And I'd bet they wont have level restrictions.....But then again such is the Fort Wars.....Otherwise I think this is a very nice event....we need more of this on a regular basis...

I don't see the point of level restriction either when 80% of the non-goldbot population is above lvl90.

The 80% you are talking about is close to cap, so once they get there, they will have 'nothing to do' and quit. It's the 20% that you (Joymax) should keep interested in the game. It's the 20% who need interesting things to do to keep them active in the game. Joymax should pay more attention to the lowly 20% so they don't get bored, jealous of the high levels with 'great' new content, and bot (or power level) their way to the top.

If there were more interesting things to do below lvl 80 (or pick your level) people wouldn't be as concerned with racing to the cap where all the 'action' is. Despite the fact that I hear so many people complain about the cap being boring... go figure.

can someone explain how this schedule works?....i didn't really understand it last time.

10/12 tues.
-----------
10/19 tues.


does this mean, xian/aege event will be on 10/12 and troy/babel on 10/19 OR does it mean xian/aege and troy/babel will have event on 10/12 and 10/19 (meaning 2x).

yes and the best way to do that is to make an event for ppl, the majority of whom botted to cap, and completely ignore the "low" level ppl who obviously never buy silk coz they don't even think about buying silk before level 100, and just want to grind for months, get to cap and then be able to take part in job wars,guild wars, fort wars or whatever else is there....




Now who can guess if I'm being sarcastic or not?

It was fvcking stupid. Started around 7:40am Eastern time.

There isn't a designated place to fight so the brainiac thief GM leads our thieves to where the hunters are.

But the fvcking idiot leads us right into the Justice Statues!!!!

They were there without those little warning things. So half the thieves gets killed and DC'ed. Right after that we run smack into a massive army of hunters.




To be honest this seemed to be more for the GM's than us. My advice for the rest of the servers.... don't let the GM dictate the event. If that dumb fvck listened to us we would have tried to do it 300 style and go to a place that is easier for us to fight. We were outnumbered big time but GM DUMBFVCK ignores us and leads us to death.
