I’m fairly new here at the forums and with the game. And with all this bot-crap / flaming / negative issues going on I thought it would be nice to give you the experiences of a noob on the Oasis server.
2 months ago I started playing and currently I’m a lvl 22 glaivie / glavie pure Str. Yes, I know some of you will probably say that it takes too long to reach lvl 22 but hey, I’m a family man and don’t have the time to play all the time. Although I try to sneak in for 1 to 2 hours per day.
Yes sometimes it’s hard to login but after a couple of tries it usually succeeds. And yes, sometimes I do curse when I get the disconnected message but I’ll just try again. And yes, sometimes I lag and find myself resurrected in Jangang, I’ll start again. And yes, sometimes it’s hard to find the npc between a forest of stalls but clicking the right mouse button and change the view helps. When I log out of the game I always find a quiet place in Jangang or Donwang or sometimes on the dock at the ferry. It cuts down the loadingtime when you’re having an old PC.
What I also enjoy is chatting when I’m stalling. Just having fun with other players/stallers, complaining how bad bussines is going, talking to “customers”. Once when I was selling elements this guy came and bought all the stuff. I told him that I probably was too cheap. In fact I was and at the end he gave an extra 10K for 2 lousy lvl 1 elements. He didn’t have to but he did and I was quiet surprised at this gesture [probably he still got the better side of the bargain but anyway]
When I’m lying around because I got killed (*again*) I never shout “ressssss etc” but pm a nearby player and ask [politely] if he can res me. Most of the time someone can and does and it’s a small gesture to send a “thank you”. 99% of the replies: “hey, np”. What I do “hate” are these “difficult” names like XXx00zErOXX. Before I finish typing the name he’s gone.
So far I’ve got PK-ed once. I was wondering what was happening before I realized that I got PK-ed. No, I won’t tell you my IGN
Oh, and I also would like to have a “small kick” option to kick the rabbit/squirrel/monkey. Especially for lower lvl guys like me, every goldpiece is welcome.
A collegue of mine is also on the Oasis server and together we’re partying and currently smashing the heads of the devil bugs to get 150 eggs. And run like hell when a couple of earth ghosts decide to attack us.
I haven’t purchse silk yet and I’m not planning to as I don’t think that I’ll reacht lvl7x because I don’t have the time and I won’t use a bot as it takes away all the fun.
For now I’m enjoying the game and have a lot of fun. Although I’ve probably got my character build completely wrong. It’s the fun I have that’s important.
Oh, and a question. If I have a drop 8 out of 10 it’s female armour or so and I’m a male character so that sucks. Do female characters get mostly male armour drops?
Anyway, I’m a happy noob questing around the world of Silkroad Online and planning to hang around some more.
And just for the fun of it I add another emoticon
