Yeah, remember when I didn't play Silkroad and I used to go party everyday? Hmmm those were the days. Now I only do Weekends. Hmmm, is Silkroad really worth some pootang? I officially will stop playing everyday!

remember when u didn't have to see a trail of bots following their rally points while u were riding to ur grind spot from town? remember when u had to actively seek out parties before grinding? remember when autopot got implemented and ppl were saying it's almost exactly like a 3rd party program that potted for u before then?

I remember when my brother was trying to show me this free to play game he found.

After creating a login, the Connect button at the game screen didnt work so well.

I asked about it. Was told to spam click it. He prefered to repeat "magic button magic button" when clicking it. If lucky, you could get into the game.

It was sign with deeper meaning that I would only understand once my SRO downfall had came.

made me lol

but yeah i remember when i started playing on babel, had like 3 weeks of being released (or something), and i saw people with these capes, killing each other, outside of jangan, i found that sooooo cool. Then i noticed i had to be lvl 10 to wear one of those, so i grinded so hard and when i finally put my cape on, OWNED, lol.


Also i remember my first trade run, i was a fresh lvl 20, and did a successful trade from jangan to dh, when i crossed ferry and saw those chakjis hitting on me, i was like "omg hardest mobs eva!!" zerked and everything. Then i got back on my horse and when i saw these bugs chasing me, i started spamming with "HALPPPP, HALPPPP!!11!!" and like 13123123 people came and helped me out.

Good times, good times. :love:

I remember putting on a thief suit for the first time, and got near a trader. Thief spawn started spawning, and I was like "omg! sorry!" <.< (I thought it was because of me...).

I remember training in my hunter suit at donwhang and getting owned by passerby thieves.

The best of all, I remember asking my first Guildmaster how attack ratings and parry work. I just regurgitate what I learnt then to new players who ask me about it now. Good times.

I started my first character on Xian then we suffered a week long inspection. When SRO was back, I logged on to Aege and was like "WTF where's my character gone?". Just in case I started a new one and played on Aege for months. BTW, my Xian character still exists :D

Hehe, best topic I've ever seen on SRF!

When I started SRO I was totally noob at games, especially at MMOs. I've been playing on my sister's C64 (LoL, I still have it) in 1990-92. Lately I used PC for writing e-mails, checking sites, opening docs and so on, but not for playing... and in march of 2006 I entered on Oasis 8=)

Some weird things, I guessed or happened with me,

* Talismans weren't defense items, they're achievement of spells
* Been murdered by Tomb Stones a lot (NO autopotion)
* Bought LvL 16 SoS garment for 5k
* Grinded with a cape on, bc it looks kool
* Planned to buy a monkey from stall (it cost about 2 mill)
* Got owned by a guy from A_S_T_I_G while was thieving with a friend. He killed us -> took off ID -> logged off -> logged on and put a suit on. We were acting... :=D
* 20/18 Guild with lots of newbies, highest was 42+ (Hannah758)
* After eastern event (collecting eggs) ppl summoned mobs at Jangan's south gate. It was lethal.
* Mostly players used force tree and ressed noobs near the roads. 1st person who ressed me at yeohas was IsildurSaron. Thx again! :=)
* Sometimes I made escort with suit on for players who were sympathic ^^

At least a screenshot:

All quitted :-//

Good, old days. Miss me a lot!

I started when euro came out ... I can imagine how SRO was good at your's days ... Heheh too bad I wasnt with you ... I started playing it when my brother showed it to me ... His first complain was "woah , why it needs time to start moving" ... the traffic wasnt so bad ...

I joined Magistri then and meet Chabz and Shurma
Took me few months to realize that most of game are bots ... I was like lv.40 when Chabz told me and I couldnt belive it ... Hehe atleast traffic wasnt so bad :)

lol the first time i played was when my younger brother introduced me to this game. i have never played any pc games or mmorpgs before and i was blown away. i had so much fun with my first char: lvl 29 fire,ice,lightning heuksal, force char. but i couldnt even kill monsters my lvl lol. i remember how happy i was when i got my first wolf on that char. i remember my first guild 'purityknights' back in venice and how we all used to have so much fun grinding lol. lol i also remember the first time i saw the zombie char and thought it was a super high lvl char >.<.
