I was just giving stupid example. and who say christians are euro? I didnt see joymax say that somewhere. If christians are euro let them make some other race with name of some continent and let them be islam. Just religion race is just so stupid.
silkroad is a FACTUAL route in which merchants/traders delivered various materials from china to europe and visa versa. back then constantanople (i think its istanbul now) was the center of europe emipire, the heart of europe much like the uk france germany and spain roles of europe now.
there was no such thing as christianity it was before the time when christianity had become a popular religion and the main religion was catholic/jew
america was certainly not a country to even consider trading, i mean columbus came at like 1500 or something and with this map of the silkroad in the 1st century
Spoiler!
i think we can say silkroad online was based around this time.
i think everyone should be put through a intro of silkroad online which is a 30min long video of the silkroad lol
ps. sorry this was so long. and sorry this has just made it even longer -.-
sorry but 1. catholic is a sub-section of christianity, 2. the last few emperers of rome where christian, and constantinople was built as the second capital for the roman empire as it was growning larger. even tho constantinople was farther west, (closer to the ppl who where actually invading) the eastern part of rome fell and constantinople continued to thrive. 3. the silkroad started with rome>china, and continued with constantinople>china after the roman empire. therefore christianity WAS around. and was the official religion in the last years of the roman empire, making it VERY popular.

Good point. Since SRO is an MMORPG, a role playing game, when they introduce Islam to the game, Joymax should treat it as a religion. Then chinese and european characters could both become Islamic if they wanted and be able to use Islamic skills and gear.
Then I guess they'd need to introduce Christians, Jews, Catholics, Buddists, and other religions too! Would our characters have to start going to church?
Missing the good times in SRO...
SRO: 1x, STR Blader (Thebes) 54, STR blader (Venice) 0x, INT wizard (Venice) 19, INT spear (Venice) 34, STR rogue/bard (Venus) 0x, STR blader (Venus) 8x, INT bard/cleric (Gaia)
Go ask Asyamura dear leady (since you're from Venus), but the Santa Sophia in Istambul was catholic before it was muslim.
And it's not about religions, but outerst points of the silkroad. Starting in China (Chinese characters), end point was in Rome (perhaps they reserve a Scythian race to murder the caravans from constanz to Rome) but till now Constantinople stands for european characters. The road went through countries that became later Islamic (look at Samarkand and check the info on youtube before) but also went to the south deep in actual India (Buddhist introduction).
And after this little historical introduction I don't think we have to expect huge changes in January because JM normally posts a long time before on their website.
Just like the Euro chars I wont be making an Islamic one if they are not appealing. I find the euros flat out boring actually. Boring because that cookie cutter European look and ability is in almost every other MMORPG out there. Rogues, Wizards, Warrior, Clerics..you name it. And I notice a lot of people flock to them because of their over powered abilities...But I guess to each his own.... If the Islamic characters are also over powered I suspect more ppl jumping ship yet again..

Islam can beat Euro (assumed) Euro can beat China China can beat Islam Triangular conflict of races
So it's only natural that one side will dominate when only two of three are introduced.
but here's an interesting question though: If Islam is good at both party play AND solo, although LESS effective at it than the two that specialize at it, would anyone even still use china anymore?
never understood that :S if euro can beat chinese and islam beats euro... how will chinese beat islam if it is stronger than euro and chinese have trouble beating euro
triangular conflict? like trader/theif/hunter... no one really owns the other its just people prefer one to the other two

wrong! hunters are on the bottom of the dps chart against same geared dps classes and squib herders (i think thats it) from warhammer are not very common i hear.

palm strike => trampling ox => falling spider => critical strikes => palm strike => twisting fangs == Dead Pet user is Dead. They need to nerf some euro skills, buff some china skills, and it's GG. As I posted before: A party of 8 Euros should not == "GOD MODE". Longer Cast Time Longer Cool Downs 45 Second potion delay == No solo [unless you go rogue]. Skills that cause interruption. Absolute dmg to force.
A china should not have a guaranteed win in 1v1, but a European 2h warrior should never have a higher chance at winning in 1v1 than a blader or glaiver.

Would never work, unless bots were banned first. Enjoy leveling at the beginning even if bots were gone.
