Wow I cant believe how much bullshit is being said here. Are you fucking kidding me? 45M ? Do you know how little that is? Thats what I accidently make with a couple of golden ancients. The abilities of making cash in this server are so much, much more than in any other server. You can farm elixiers/jobcoins, trade or hunt (both give really good money) participate in fortress wars and try to win (good cash), do some FGWs (they drop stones which are good money on venture), or just hunt ancients/golden ancients and sell the drops you get. I bought 3 SOMs already, and this is only my third week in Venture and im not trading that much.
The arguments against venture are just weak, even if the numbers of player _was_ low (and it is not, the player number could be better, but its pretty good already) you could have hella fun here and do all types of things. And the server gets better, u get more people, not less. You will always have traders to thief, or always need to fear thieves while trading, you will most likely have trouble finding ancients because people always hunt them, you will find Scroll PTs all day, you can find jangan ancients PTs or just do some PvP outside any town if you want. The FWs are fun, and more and more guilds are on the rise. Stop hating, everyone, and rather come and play here and enjoy this server, because this server is a revolution within the Silkroad-Community. Never have I found a server that is not pay2win, and this is by far the best thing that has happened till now. For someone like me, who hates pay2win, this is such a great thing. Venture deserves support.
And the best thing: No bots! Even if you wanted to bot, there is no effective way to use it. The concept of this server is to play yourself. You guys are blunted by the bot-culture of silkroad, that you forgot the virtue of having a bot-free silkroad. This is just great, and whoever does not like that, should shut the fuck up.
