Silkroad Online Forums

Hello! this will probably seem like a dumb question, but how come I can never connect to anys servers? They all say crowded, and when I try to join one, I get kicked after I try to join because of server traffic. I have tried like 12 different servers, so I have no idea whats going on. And its not my internet connection, guaranteed.

Lastly, I hope i wont have to download it again... it took an hour.

You will have to get used to it. When in peak hours its near to impossible to get in. Otherwise you have to be more patient, it takes some time until you get in.
Seeing you are new to the game, you should have a look around the forum, there are useful guides here on new characters, or you could ask someone in town, when you log in . And choose one server, the character that you started there will be on that server only. Choose a newer one though, Odin, Poseidon, Hercules are newer.

okay, thank you! (Great responce time!)

It looks like a cool game, and Ive heard much positive feedback. Apparently, its very popular! :P

Just be careful, its highly addictive But it has its problems, youll notice the large ammounts of bot players around, but as I said, its highly addictive and youll be angry but will just stick with it. Also, dont trust people much in the begining. My suggestion is to do quests at the begining, until like level 24, ask around town and find a good guild to have fun with.

Heres a list of quests: http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=35591

IF you're smart you'd go for Pacific ;D . Our server gets pretty empty around 7pm my time, which is California time GMT - 7 hours, and thats about.. NOW ! lol.

Join any of the new servers that aren't crowded 24/7. Like Hercules, Odin, Alexander, Zeus, Pacific ect.
