http://silkroadonline.net/gameinfo/item ... cenary.aspThere are new ones such as One-handed weapon Warrior, Two-handed
weapon Warrior,Dual weapon Warrior,Dagger Rogue,Crossbow Rogue,Earth Wizard,Cold Wizard,Fire Wizard,Lightning Wizard and much more. Did they have euro mercs before they took the mercs off?
Are they ever gonna come back in ISRO? Thanks in advance.

Great, just something else to ruin the slowly growing team play aspects that this game has.

no mercs are horrible for pvp. It's not balanced for everyone. It would only work if everyone could get them.....then nobody would pvp.

Hm... Since when people are using mercs in pvp? I thought they use them only in Job Wars.. And that was much better than not using them at all... >.<

Since when did job wars not become pvp? pvp = player versus player in any form of combat. Simple enough right?

Depends on the situation if they are good.
I got 5 mercs spawned on me without snow shield and I got owned really fast. I came back and he was chasing me on his horse, didnt even have to attack me because the mercs were. If you didnt know, mercs spawn behind you. So i was running and I spawned 10 mercs RIGHT on him. Needless to say he was dead in seconds. We both got a laugh out of it.

No way you can kill 10 mercs in 15 secs. And you should be 3 shotting the master then...

I'm sure a with some coding they can restrict them to certain aspects. Although I hope they are allowed by more than a guild master.

Not all of them in 15 secs. When we just got the euro update and the new skills, my friend lent me his sun garm set and sun+7 glavie ( Since I got hacked before the update ). I went out, and tanked lvl 80 hunter with his mercs. Ofcours I died, but it took me 2-3 times to kill the all. Also I killed a lvl 80 fully farmed for lvl 80 (That guy had a lot of sp) and 2 glaviers..
If I had just a ordinary set, it could take me much more, but its still possible if you know exactly what to do..

It's common sense to see that the mercenaries won't be re-released for a while due to the current 'status' of the game and the damage it could do to the equilibrium currently present in the game. Yes, all is fair at the moment. Every guild has a chance to participate in the fortress with JUST players no side factors that will affect the status quo of the fortress war.
Like I said many times before, some people need to CATCH UP lol... And I'm sorry to say but the thread starter was kind of slow to find the mercenary scrolls in the website database this late... It made me laugh... Well with thoughts that needed to come out set aside, the mercenaries are a big disadvantage and when they were first released, it was strictly for Guild masters only because the guild master was, and still is, supposed to be the dominant person in the guild, and if not, it'll balance things out between him and the person more dominant(And back then, guild masters were a whole different group of players...They were considered the cheap,elite,and obviously, the dominant.)
But now, if they implement the mercenaries back into the game... The global wars, the constant drama, the constant rivalries between guilds, straight up--- the spamming, the hesitation to job, and well, nothing will get accomplished... Now I see there are some over-optimistic people in here and you guys might be saying "Wtf is this guy talking about, that won't happen to me or my Farking server!" Well it will... Imagine the most dominant guilds right now of every server (meaning the fortress holders). And all guilds have mercenaries,(meaning the guild masters only of course)and then, your trade might just not make it to the next destination/you might not be able to protect a trade/you might not be able to escape with a trade... Looking at how many Level 5 guilds there are in every server which is probably on quick glimpse in a town(average), 80-90% of the server(Excluding Hera of course), that's how many guild masters will be with mercenaries...
Back to the over-optimistic people... You think they will do good for 'you' or be a good returning impact on the game, too bad it won't... Because they're not getting implemented back into the game between here and I'd say until 100 cap(I say 100 cap because, there are big changes on every Legend --- release). I blame the thread starter for giving everyone false hope and etc... of the mercenaries coming back... And now, If my words can't change your mind now, I'll just let time and the game crush your false hopes and prove you wrong.
Best Regards,
B.F.C. Victor

I thought mercenaries only worked while Thiefing/Hunting/Trading?
Why is people talking about FW?

Dunno. We never had a chance to check if people can use them at FW..
Btw. You could use them when jobbing or pvping with a cape. Everthing when fighting another player...

Fortress War is the current status quo... And is(with exclusion of 90 cap release)the most recent release that impacted the game with activities. No, mercenaries worked when ever you wanted them to. Like before the European update, guild masters would just sit and send their mercenaries over to their target to kill them. Like it was a toy you know? Since they were all that and 'dominant'. Dominance plays a big roll in this game, and when a group of people (a guild) has too much of it, everything falls apart(Fortress war holders + mercenaries= Bad!)<<---For the slow people

If you read my post, I said 'imagine'. And if they were released back into the game, of course they're going to allow them into fortress war, it's either one way or another but too bad that isn't going to be happening anytime soon.

Merchs could only be used under JOB FIGHTS ( Hunter/thieve ) and with WARS. With a CAPE you couldn't use them
When the Fortress came they removed merchs and made them unasble. For 1 reason only. 16 guilds in the Fortress 16 guild leaders 160 merchs = lag. And no fun. Thats the reason.
