SRO Trade run GM Event

Post by Lowis »

After long hours of battle, Merchants and Hunters regrouped and decided to continue their job activity in Silkroad.

Thieves also reorganized and planned for their retribution against merchants and hunters.

[Event Period]
November 16th ~ December 7th, 2010 Silkroad Standard Time (3 weeks)

Part 1: Trade Run with the GM
Event Schedule: November 16th ~ 30th, 2010 (2weeks)

- Event will be launched in the first day of the event after server inspection on November 16, 2010.
- Each server will be visited only once.

[Event Procedure]
1. GM will announce the start of the event in-game.
2. Merchants who want to participate should wear job suit, buy transportation and trade goods. Hunters and Thieves should also wear their job suits.
3. Merchants and Hunters should meet the Hunter GM at the town. Thieves should also meet the Thief GM in another town or area.
4. Hunter GM will rally the merchants and traders from starting point of the trade run and will lead to the end point of trade run. At the same time, Thief GM will lead the thieves to attack the caravan.
5. Trade run will be finished once merchants and hunters sell the goods and gain profit at the trade centers and/or if thieves rob and sell the goods at Stolen Goods Dealer at Bandit Den.

It is a staged fight anyway, since the thieves know exactly where the caravan is.
At that time, it'd be best not to join that group as a low level trader/hunter.
The GM killing will also be a problem if they don't make themselves invalid targets.


It'd probably make more sense to introduce the long awaited changes to the trade system, then make a week or two of +200% profit.

Sounds like an interesting event. I think it said players of any level can join. I probably wouldn't last more than a few minutes as a thief since I'm only lvl 54. The very first hunter that sees me would probably be lvl 100+ and 1-hit me with a single punch.

I agree though, the GMs should make themselves invalid targets.
Missing the good times in SRO... :love:

So anyone participated yet?

Couldnt participate in Athens, event happened right while i was at work. When i logged it was already done.

Curious to see how much people are participating, and to see GMs. So any screens from any server?

Event Fail... communication is horrible imo. They said to meet the thief GM at Bandit Den. I ran around the entire area, not a single person in sight. I got a feeling they posted the wrong spot or something. I gave up after 10 mins of searching. Traders found the trade GM right away since he was hanging out by the teleport in const...

Nice to see that they are trying to keep the game fun. These were things we were asking for in the past. But I have to agree with Goseki since these GMs don't seem to know how to effectively plan an event.
