i wanna know the sro history
which servers are here from the begining
and what it was without tickets
same traffic?
is it started with bots?
answer

no i don't think so, it most likely started wiht like 5 but wait for some1 who knows what they are talking about to come along and tell you^^

i think xian was first server....but i didnt start playing for a while so idk

Yes it started with 1 server(Xian).

It started with xian.

Bots has always been there, it wasnt the majority as it is today though.

Item mall came later.

And 60 cap was the most fun sro will ever be.

Yup ... I think that Xian was only one server at first ...

LOL those are my skill pics haha.
Yeah older ones would be if you cut out all the skills where lvl 1 is >60 . So like no Ghost Spear Mars, no Double Stab in Bicheon, no Devil Arrow, etc.

Troy opened in late December 2005.
Then Babel opened on Feb 4, 2006.
Athens I think was early March or so and Oasis was just before item mall or 70 cap, I forget which.
@nightbloom I'm pretty sure the wolves were in late June / early July o_O. I remember being all excited about getting one and I was talking to guildies in AoW about it, and I think I only joined AoW on June 8, 2006. :O

I always thought Aege came out a week after Xian.... I was on Chakji's when BrosInArms moved to Aege.

All I remember was the Alpha server wasnt called Xian, it was testserver or something

If i remember lol that it wasnt alchemy added it was alchemy exspansion
you could elixer and and sh1t but you could add tablets and there was no percentages
But the worst thing was the lag the lag was extreme.

Olympus and Oasis opened at the same time

crazy_foo wrote:Olympus and Oasis opened at the same time

You sure i swear Oasis came out before Olympus did

olympus opened like 4 months after oasis

Greece was open before Olympus so0o0, im sure rev6 have it in order anyway on there webstats

the srf server discussion list is in the right order :> so just look to see ^^

crazy_foo wrote:Olympus and Oasis opened at the same time

oasis was opened a long time before olympus did

olympus, alps, and tibet opened up around the same time with greece coming before them just before alchemy update

It was Alps then Olympus then Tibet i think. Greece opened way before Alps...

i remember when the alchemy update first came everyone thought the lvl 5 european wolf mob was the lvl 60 evolution of the wolf

Hmm ... Where is Babel there ?!

As I recall Xian Troy Aege and Babel were only servers when I was playing on Babel ...

No, I am sure there were only that 4 servers opened when I was playing ..

Xian is the first ... starting playing since the isro alpha >.<

Hmm, I must have first played during spring break '06 since I remember debating between the servers and babel, troy, xian, aige, and olympus were there for sure...I went into aige that time.

Good old no autopot days... I remember when I went back to it that summer...shortly after the wolfs were added, I was amazed at the auto pot and the weird xp orbs.

it started with 1 server but the next day they started another one

From left to right on Wiki, that is the correct order that the servers were released. I'm pretty sure that Babel was one of the top 5 servers, though.

Babel was surely the 4th server to open.

I started playing one day after Troy opened, ad the very server.

It was really better facing server traffic those days, if only we knew...
