There is no question that there are die-hard chinese fans and die-hard european fans. Some view the introduction of the euro was the destroying factor to Sro, some think it helped bring the game closer to the original intent but the game is still not complete. But we all have our opinions, and who knows, the islamic race will most likely turn sro upside down again. Why? Because I think people don't like change and euro radicaly changed the game. Players learn the game and then all of a suddent the rules are altered and they are like wtf. Thats what kinda happened with the euro introduction. If it wasnt for the euro update I would have quit sro a year ago. But dont get me wrong I loved my china nuker, but my warlock is more in my style of play, but thats just me.

And happy birthday to all the european characters that started a year ago!

The Europe update is the only reason I'm still playing, without share parties grinding was just far too boring and group pvp is far better than watching 2 glaivers use 3 skills until one of them dies. I have no idea how people can think it was better without Europe. Although I agree that powerleveling sucks.

I believe euro made the game more of on rpg.I mean most games have clerics or aclass that heals and buff warlocks aclass that debuff. when there was only chinese they had no party play and i fail to see the purpose of a mmorpg when every one plays alone.

If you bought a gt you solo'd. I miss the days at crossroads chilling with all the 70s waiting for people to go by as we all suit up and have a job war.

Im glad they implemented euros, i found it brought new life to the game. The job system is fail due to plvl and bots though.

I think they had to keep it seperate(grammar), just 1 world of chinese and a world european.
you decide yourself what you want.

although I like european characters its less pushing the buttons and more thinking.

My (nooby) Thoughts on Europe! --

- ALOT are wizards
- On rev6's top player list, alot of them are euros on some server
- Seem more popular
- Some people consider some classes to be overpowered
- Not as much farming Required
- Buffs don't look as cool

Lol, thanks for reading.

Benefits of Euro:
-grinding is actually fun
-MUCH faster leveling (there are people who legitly reached lvl 80 without buying silk)
-no need for boring quests, besides item expansions
-requires less sp than Chinese chars

Negatives of Euro:
-making party can be a pain in the ass at higher levels, especially when your friends/guildies with valuable party-builds decide to quit
-too much powerleveling; low-level parties are ruined on older servers
-soloing can be a bit hard
-overpowered attacks combined with stealth/invis results in boring (and annoying) PvPs (the only Euro builds that don't 1-shot others are Warriors and Warlocks)
-not all builds are wanted in parties; rogues and warlocks are not wanted unless they have cleric or bard subs
-Euro moves/buffs don't look as flashy as Chinese moves/buffs

Euro chars should be banned lol
Euro ruined job system. Now there is no challenge, because the winner is that, who has more euro buffs. I just wish euro was never realeased.

I personaly think it could have been a good idea, but JM didnt do it properly, with regard to the job systems, and with classes like rogues being pretty much usless in parties it just ruins the point of party play for them.

Thats what made the game so unique.

And your comment about party play failing... Unless you ever reached 60 at 60 cap (I didnt)
or 70 at 70 Cap ( I Did) you wouldn't understand. It wasn't -- Give me buffs, warrior skin wizards, bless, and res each other 100,000,000 times, have bards that running around DOING NOTHING but somehow giving 40% absorption... cute.

It was a more 'strategic party play' where certain people would go first hunting for certain people, attack certain people there and protect the nukers... Definately a more challenging and thrilling way to play.

i am lvl 49 so yes i dont know about that but what i know is that full euro party is better than chinese pt at lvl 48 i was going in penon pt with lvl 50- party and warrior could solo 2 giants and one ptg with healings wizs were nuking bard was healing mp warlocks which were rare other than me were debuffing and i was healing with cleric which means every one had arole not only tank or nuke

A full working euro party against a full euro party will never kill each other.. unless clerics keep doing their absolute damages, pretty boring

Group pvping with chinese chars is much more fun since it doesn't depend on how much euro chars are in your party

Whoa. Noway. One person screws up, the entire party goes down.

The euro class itself rocks, however the update sucks. The job update got screwed, and it added powerlvling on top of all the bots.

I do think they should make a pure euro server. (Less bots =o)
