Are official servers still active?

[buferis]

Hi there! It's more than 3 years since I haven't played silkroad as a player, but sometimes I still want to grind with party at penons, or make a simple trade run with a friends. So I would like to ask is it worth to join any of the official servers? Not only isro, but csro or tsro (had great fun in there back then). Thanks !

i had loads of fun back on isro pre 2006, i'd say isro had a decent population of players like those found on srf up till maybe 2008/9 max. its just a botfest i would suggest venture right now if you want a close community similar to old school sro.

i wonder how many players isro still has? total including botters must stil be thousands, i wonder how many play it how we all did wayyyy back in the day!

server names mean nothing to me lol xian, venus, sparta are all merged

[ltsune]

I would suggest a private server like this: viewtopic.php?f=45&t=134689

The official servers, while still somewhat populated, are just filled with bots. There are a few legits left, but they aren't really that active at all.
