I dont see what all the fuzz is about.One thing I do know.In silkroad online u go around hitting and killing(pk'ing) people/monsters it resemblances the real thing,does this mean we should change the game into something without resemblances to violence?
Its made pretend,just like in movies.Same goes for religion,if you feel offended about things in sro i think its your problem,dont play the game.
Freedom of speech and tolerance makes it all so much simpler.

Might I ask, what constitutes a false religion in your eyes?

@every1 - im about 2 blow your minds
:
ok heres how it works
the silkroad a old passage way blah etc etc
sro is based on the silkroad during 700 - 770 ad
while islam was rising
western rome was dying
and china was in a golden age.
during the rise of islam, like all religions.... there where many heretics who spoke arabic.
these heretics or infidels would use the lords tongue to defile the prophet and his messages.
back in the day (700 AD - 770 AD) if a muslim trader hunter or thief saw that blasphemous midget, the midget would be dead.
so in all honesty the game is an accurate description of the silkroad.
DUDE B 4 REAL!
the silkroad was not all fine and dandy...
it was not full of happy arabs who loved thier neighbor.
it was not full of happy romas who loved thier neighbors.
and it sure as hell was not full of happy chinese who loved thier neighbor.
lets recap:
as islam spread from the arabian penisula they also spread arabic
from egypt all the way to the steppes of mongolia (yes it was that wide spread
)
but not every "conquered" person wanted to yeild to thier muslim brothers and sisters
so what do you do 2 foreign invaders back in the day?
you insult them DUH.
and as some1 else said, at that time hotan was primarily hindu
so of course you have the midget hindu who has got a grudge with muslims say he can forgive sins therefore he is allah ( im not saying hes allah im saying thats what his pants say)
@XemnasXD, islam race is perfectly acceptable
because
its tehran and baghdad.
who lives in tehran....
persians AKA iranians.... what are iranians ARIAN AKA WHITE....
so instead of just making it the arabian penisula, and since islam was such a powerful force on the silkroad islam race is perfectly acceptable.
people in samarkand a muslim city is full of people from the steppes of asia NOt arabics
hotan is full of indians who happen to be muslim/heretics
so arabic wouldnt work.
also dont think of it as islam race
think of race as a replacement for civilization
so you have
chinese civilization
european civilization
and islamic civilization (makes sense now?)
now finaly my point.
during islam expansion there was resistance and dont tell me that islam was spread peacefully it was 50/50... it was peaceful compared to christianity
resistance = heretics
heretics = the midget at hotan
midget at hotan = a silkroad arse
a silkroad arse = historically accurate
now if you would like 2 respond plz do
not bad for a "kid" eh (16)

I don't think so, finally something better for discussion than bots/lags/cant connect/JM=gay threads
I so do agree....I so do not feel like reading dumb complaints that will never be answered. The forum should be filled with more topics like these but unfortunately....it won't be happening soon
<<banned from SRF for bot admission. -SG>>
Come on people .. i read the whole first page of posts, then got bored and skimmed through pages 2-5 expecting to find the SS of Hotan boat guy saying offensive stuff or other offensive religious stuff, but all i see is 5 pages full of flaming and such, SS PLZ =)
And btw its just a game, it isn't designed to make everyone happy. If you dont like it, simply ignore it or quit the game
Oh and now seeing pics of the real life Silk Road, i would have to say that JM did a really great job with the designing, GREAT WORK JM ^^

Any other discussions on religion, not related to sro should be posted in a different forum, or the OTL <.<.
don't treat OTL like second class

I'm not, just that if people here wanted to debate intelligently on serious matters such as religion (which is perfectly fine to talk about), there should be another section for it on this forum (which I suggested to be OTL, cause thats the most relevant that comes to mind). Not saying OTL is a trash bin for unwanted discussion, I like that section more than the other section we have here on this forum

Anything false of what I believe.
Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for the most close-minded statement of the thread!

please dont make ignorant comments if you dont agree put in a appropriate manner.
I really don't wanna flame, but i got to, go to jangan & dw, there's plenty of buddhist statues & even buddhist based quests...not to mention jangan & dw contains a lot of chinese/asian things
jangan, dw = a lot of buddhists related things & chinese related architecture
hotan, samarkand = a lot of muslim/islamic related things
constanople = a lot of euro based things
ZOMFG, it's a game, stop complaining >.>, or just quit so the rest of us has an easier time to log in during the weekends when we have time to play but don't have time to hit login
