@smurf
i read it, but i think the gm's worded it wrong, they should just put it into the shop and see what happens rather than saying its going 'p2p'

and rose online is? there are far worse games that are p2p and it won't really be p2p anyway

also this is a very stupid idea unless u can communicate with ur guild and and friends from ur original server.

how much do we have to play to get a real game like Ksro?

So if that happens, wouldn't it mean that they would fail at the pay to play option, then take it off, and the bots would return? Thus, it would waist about 6 months to a year of time trying to do that.

Why would I pay more then what I do now anyways? I already pay about 50 - 60 dollars a month on item mall shit. No need to pay another exorbitant amount just to log in. I would rather keep it the way it is now. At least I know what the window is for when I am able to log in.

most space on server is taking up by farming bots, and stallers. why would farming bot pay for silk? or a gt to get on the server, isnt it their job to make real money rather than pay for it/ Most staller would be on main server to sell their stuff since that where most players would be.

The only problem is real bot players that pay for silk will be able to play there but there wont be as much as those who dont pay.

What they need to do is open up an Auction house. That would free up a ton of server space, or at least until it was filled by gold bots. As far as all that goes, my previous point still stands.

In auction house, you still use a stall. It only works as a search method to help you find items you need faster.

I meant an Auction house like the one on wow. If all the stallers were to go away, the servers would be less crowded. That would make logging in way easy, and I would think bring in mass profits for Joymax.

Even tho I get the idea of Having a gold ticket ensures you at least 3 hours of game play a day on a easy log in server, .... thing is there is so many other alternatives to it.

Ban the fucking Multiclienters. I know people that run 10 bots a server, so what that's like 100 slots being taking by 10 people .. get it fixed ffs.

Or Put the game in stores for I dunno 40$ or something. That would get rid of at least 50% of the SCUM that lurks on sro. Ok it's not fair for people with no money but who cares they are a business.

Axeoo7 · Post by **Axeoo7** » Tue May 01, 2007 2:37 pm

I dont see how stalls take up that much space i see just as many stallers when the server is crowded and when it is populated.

Am i right or can i not count??

When you're already using premium items, you can log in to that server without any extra costs. It's just a grind server for people that already have a goldticket, silverticket, monkey etc..

So it's just a server where you can log in to grind off your gold ticket for the day, and when you're done you can go back to trying to log in to your normal playing server

And i don't think you can go on any server with your grinded character, just the one you created it on..

Well in my opinion this would be great.

Oh ic.. well then it doesn't sound like a bad idea. Thought it was like going monthly fee or something xD

If your post is a reply to mine .. I mean with multiclienting the twats that run their goldfarmers or just whore snipers with 10 lvl 80 nukers on 1 pc.

Stallers yeah they are a prob too but most nowadays are being also run on multiclienting bastards.

i agree with plus the multiclienting is out of hand. get a hold on that and you are going the right way to take sro back.

well then ppl stop crying when you dont get good service

its like going to MacDonald's
and getting free food and you still complain about service thats just rude

many players went on the sro forums and mock them and complained yet they forgot those very same words^^

yeah and to avoid paypal and all that make it to prepaid game sro cards once u buy the game you get free gt for a while till it runs out then use the prepaid this way it will reduce lag make sro more professional and will have more legit players on

that's too unfair against the other players i mean come on not everyone can affor to buy silk. just because one pays it doesn't mean one has to get more attention. that's kinda like discriminating (okay maybe not but you ge my point don't you?)

To clarify this the game isn't going p2p they should of said

" People who buy gold/silver tickets will have the privlage to have a reserved login spot. This is a feature for those who buy silk"

I think people misunderstood what they ment by that. Everyone will still be able to play but silk buyers will have priority since they're supporting the game and will get a reserved slot in the server, too.

I find this perfectly fine it's not restricting those who still want to play but you're going to need to keep trying to connect if the server is crouded, ect.

The game isn't going P2P since they said it's F2P. Alot of problems would happen if they tried a stunt like that.

i friggin hate thesekind of games where u can BUY urself a privilege.. like WHY ffs(for **** sake) someone cant to ONE game like silkroad without no buyable privileges.. think about when u can get this silver/gold thingie from drop ^^ like sox orsmthing only TRUELY rare .

Glavie_Miss · Post by **Glavie_Miss** » Tue May 01, 2007 8:50 pm

So you're basically saying that anyone that has a ticket running (thus they have paid real money to Joymax) can log in on the first try?
That would bea nice feature, Because I have lost a gold ticket due to getting disconnected and not being able to log back on

Echos · Post by **Echos** » Tue May 01, 2007 8:52 pm

haha.. that would be cool when u want to buy this silver/gold thingie but u just can't login to access the item mall. i would prob LOL on that..

First off, they're still letting you play WITHOUT PAYING I might add. If you're not supporting the game buy buying silk you really shouldnt have a right to complain about logging in since you're not buying anything from them :\.

Yes glaivie, thats basicly the idea.

The shouldnt of said anything like p2p that was just a mistake on their part.

Basicly anyone who has a gold ticket will have a reservered slot, which will be nice since we have a hard enough time to get in as it is and cant use them on the weekends when it is completely full.

And for everyone else who isn't getting gold/silver tickets will have to log in normally like everyone else right now.

People buying silk basically supports Joymax to keep on going
What do you think would happen if no one would buy silk?
Joymax would lose all its financial resources, and they will have to start shutting down servers and game devellopment...
So eventually, there will be no more game to play...
I think we should be grateful to the players who buy silk, the basically keep the game going...
A popular game like SRO can't keep on going on forever, not free at least....

I can't really tell
But I am pretty sure that if you deposit money from your bank account to paypal it works fine
or charge silk directly from your credit card?
Try reading the FAQ on the paypal site
