Silkroad Online Forums

I was just wondering which race might be better or will i want to change my euro char.

its all balanced.

i know i mean cooler.

well that is not your topic tittle

fine then. now u understand.

I believe its balanced, but its hard to say since noone has played Islam, you should put a choice of "to hard to decide right now"

as long as the Islamic cities [Baghdad, Hotan, Samarkand] and the Islamic characters don't misrepresent the Muslims, then you have nothing to worry about

Islam, they work with Summoned monsters, and you skill your summoner aswell as the skills your summoned monsters have, therefore probably having to farm twice as much, but I do think they will be insane, and directly compliment the European race, as each can buff others not just themselves.

INFO ON ISLAMIC CHARACTERS:

The Arabians (Islamic characters) will have the ability to summon genies. The summoned genies will be able to battle and, through intensive training perform other feats of spirit magic. Islamic characters will be able to use the sword, blade, claw and the chakoram as their weapons. The genies will be able to train in the 4 attributes of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.

Silkroad Online with Western European, Eastern Chinese, and New Islam Fantasy is all based upon the ancient cultures and legends of China, Islam, and Europe.

Silkroad Online is an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online RPG) that puts the player deep into ancient Chinese, Islamic, and European civilizations. The Silk Road, was in short, a major cultural and economic trading gateway. Roads connected between ancient Asia and Europe that have disappeared into the forgotten history of glory and adventure.

from the looks of things i think joymax does refer to them as civilizations, but because of popular use among players the common term has become: race

What do you imagine when you hear the word, 'Silk Road'? Dreamy images like a limitless desert, tired travelers and a long train of camels with a full load of silk. This appearance occurs to most people and such images of the Silk Road are known to us, but they are just a tip of the iceberg.

The Silk Road was the long voyage connecting the East and the West. The road was not a mere trading pathway for transferring the goods like silks or spices. It was the very knowledge and culture of many people who had gone there and back full of adventure, not just goods delivered and transferred through the Silkroad. Now is the time when the importance of the international exchange is emphasized under the proposition of the global standard.

Although, a long time ago the exchanges between Asia and Europe which had been the center of the world had been made.

crossing the Silk Road was possible by anyone. Their features were diversified from merchants, adventurers, soldiers and diplomatic missions to thieving, and they would have not yielded to all hard obstacles for their own goals. We have gotten the belief to create the new world in this online game, envisioning those who have treaded through all the areas of the east and the west via Silk Road.

They all had different objectives, but one in common probably would be 'the dream to the new world'. A variety of dreams they had all realized through various adventures on the Silk Road. The intention of production is to make the online game where users can realize various dreams respectively.

you would think people would read the website they downloaded a game from :/

Many online games are shown, but finding the aspect of another real world is not easy. To construct the exciting online game world closely similar to the real world, never fail to forget the consideration of the distopia as well as the utopia. Can the light with the shade exist as the shade exists due to the light? A various and complex society closely allied to the more real world where the light and shade coexist. The user must decide whether it becomes the utopia or distopia. That becomes the base for designing the social components in 'Silkroad Online'.

atm i think sro is in between Utopia, and Distopia. The community is aight, but at the same time there are so many problems within the community that joymax is blamed for.

historical info off the site: http://www.silkroadonline.net/overview/prologue.asp

Islamic weapons:
Sword: Example of a sword found in India commonly utilized by soldiers under Islamic Sultanates

Blade: The technical Term is: Scimitar

Claws: The technical term is: Katar

Chakoram: Joymax misspelled it, real spelling is: Chakram [ranged]


common question on weapons:
Stab VS Slash/Cut AKA European Stabbing sword [rapier] VS Islamic Slashing Blade [scimitar]... who wins?

Copy + Paste from all my Islam related post FTW!

There, Archive the above in your brain or in some text format.

Merely Speculation based on everything we know so far i have ascertained this much:
Party:
European > Mixed = Islam > Chinese
Solo:
Chinese > Islam > European
E.G.:
Overall, European = Chinese = Islam. A.K.A. Balance

Elaborate:
If Chinese is the best at solo play overall and the worst at party play overall, then they're in the Middle ground Overall.
If European are the worst at solo overall and The best at party over all, then they're in the Middle ground Overall.
Therefore, Chinese = European. (here is where Islam complicates matters)

Islam is speculated, based on information laid ALL OVER the net, to be able to solo decently without much hindrance and be able to party well without ruining the potential efficiency of the party.

Now here is a illustration to explain matters: Imagine a rating, 1 being the lowest possible 3 being the highest. Then take the averages to get the overall balance, afterwards substitute the number in overall for the civilization corresponding with that overall category.
1--------2--------3
European:
[1]Solo
[3]Party
[2]Overall

Chinese:
[3]Solo
[1]Party
[2]Overall

Islam:
[2]Solo
[2]Party
[2]Overall

Overall:
so: [2]=[2]=[2]
Substitution: European = Islam = Chinese

Party: [3]>[2]>[1]
Substitution: European > Mixed=Islam > Chinese

Solo: [1]<[2]<[3]
Substitution: European < Islam < Chinese

So conclusion, Joymax planned the game well:
If you prefer party play, go European.
If you prefer solo play, go Chinese.
If you Like doing both every now and then, go Islamic.

Historically thats incorrect:
Westerners (Europeans) are considered to be more about the "Me, Me, Me" Ergo; Solo.
Asians are considered to be conformist, the community " Group Mentality " Ergo; Party.
Muslims span all races, and looking at historical archives Joymax hit it on the dime, although its still, predominantly, a "Group Mentality". Despite this, it is a safe bet: "Relative"

Biologically, humans are all about the "Group Mentality".

Chinese, i hate 15 sec pot delay

islam because i am wondering them

Idgi but Euro....

meh.. i'm new in this forum and i CAN use search, but i'm too lazy ( or busy ) to search it xD

Thx anyway.. but, after i read that, i think i will stay with my little chinese char

The Xelnaga.

No.

I like Euro's party play. I have no idea how the Islam will play out, but I think I'm sticking with these guys for now.
