Challenge in the gameplay.

its simple ... its the same reason many moved from isro to private servers .. ( easyer gameplay ) u think you server even had 100 players if they like a server with challenges ? if they would want that they would stay on isro ksro and the other official servers.

Don't compare too hard rates to normal ones.
Official servers have no challenge, they just absorb your money.
That is the reason why most of ppl left to private servers.

They should really considerate wiping the whole section and adding some more strict rules if we want this pserver scene to work out a way or another

Later some crappy pvp servers came out with rates like 999x, people got "infected" by the feel of super high rates and they kinda liked more servers which give them all they want instead of servers, where you have to reach something to be strong.

Believe meh, The people who're following the crappy high rate servers as you have said above, they are not even adults.. probably in the range of 8~13 years old kids who were looking towards a server to find the real fun point in their eyes. in fact, most of these servers are getting closed after the month of VPS payment gets over. and they do not have enough money from donation to re-subscribe the service or getting high load of DDoS, even if they had hyperfilter.. the protection limit will be over, and all the money will go away for nothing .. and at the last, the low rate servers stay online because the adult players are joining these type of servers, which means, more donation, and the server will live for long time like creddy for an example.
So my suggestion to ya, do not upgrade the rates. let your server with its rates. one day, your server will be attractive :)

Im from Turkey and Turkish players %90 = -16 years old
So a lot of Turkish playing silkroad its correct but that kids wanna play PvP server or 9999999x rate's server..
%10 = +17 years old.. +17 years old players wanna play OldSchool servers..A little player playing silkroad its true so you need make VERY GOOD server for +1k player..
Old players wanna play oldschool server but they not population max 2k ..
Kids = +10k
So its like Metin2 [MAX YEAR 20] ,Silkroad going to kid game like METIN 2.
You have 2 chance Make 999999x server for kids [+10k kid you can gain 2k ppl max]
Make 10x server for older players.. [2k ppl searching game and you gain 500 player max]

So kids playing in a week max 5-6h so kids dont wanna waste time for PvE server , He waste his time and he can max +6 sos wep , but he can spend his time on PVP or 999999x server he can +17 FB MAX SUN wep..So kids going to play easy server because kids cannot much play..

Thanks regards..

Because they're lazy fucktards, that's why.

When you try to make a smart comment atleast explain it.

the answer is quite easy
when you spend 2-3 years on game and hardly got half way the game(in this case lvl 50-60) and then a server comes offering a instant "godly" character in which you can satisfy your needs of auto-compensation, it is quite obvious which some people gonna choose

i have been on your server for like a month. I bought silks there not because i wanted cools stuff(cuz i simply buy scrolls, globals) but beacuse I like the server and wanted to SUPPORT it
This term has been lost on the game lately.

my point is that the comunity has been plagued by so much easy servers that the community(not all of it)has become lazy and hungry of power, you can see this on any advert thread, user flaming about how godly they are. I as a mod here, notice that even that attitude is reflected on the posts toward us(mods). Posts like "you knwo who are you dealing" or the famous "pvp with me on real life" is basically the kind of attitude that kind of people easy servers had made
that's one of the things I envy from FPS games. Aside of using amibots(which is lame btw), it is matter of skills, as no matter who new or old you are on the game, if you suck, is not because the game is broken or if you are good is not because you paid to do so(s4league is an exception here)
SRO has lost that sense of skill and everything became "9999999999999 silks" and 1 minute lvl 2000

Hello, in my opinion silkroad(official and private) gameplay was hardened by:
as you can see in the video.
Yes, Highrate servers gets biggest amount of players, mainly because its alot faster mobs drop 300-400k each, and thats why it is Bullsh*t.
When i played Pantu or Droad there are no one exept kid turks with their Weebly.com scamming sites. yes pantu has about 1000k players only because everyone has atleast 4-5 gbots, not talking about players that have 24-32 gbots, i met such people, and they're 8-12 years old
but you can't blaim them you won't reach alot if you don't have gold bots.
Silkroad is almost dead because VSRO files got leaked now every idiot can make a server without a problem, only those servers die in 3 days- a week, now there are other kind of servers that are long term and almost nothing can bring them down (LSRO, Creddy) Those servers don't get player amount as it should get, because you need to put some effort or donate there.
There are no gbots or that kind of sh*t because its not necessary and majority of players are more then 14 years old.
I just wish that those servers could get atleast 1000 players that are not f*ckin kinders.

Well I'm patient person, and I still wonder how people in these "crappy servers" do not get bored? And they don't switch to normal, stable ones? What is holding them there? Cuz they have nothing to do aside... PVP... and FW. That's all.

Silkroad gameplay has gone, lost his players for bots.

In one of those servers, in my case Duckroad there is very easy to plus +4 to +7 100%
and from +8 to +11 100% i never got wtf is this?
one of fun things in game is made so fucking easy.
well Dimka is right about PVP and FW.
There is nothing else to do just to bot,bot,bot,pvp,bot,bot,FW :D

thats why i left those shitty servers and got back to LSRO, because its a server that has a brightest future!

Don't highlight any servers especially mine in the thread because portal will close it.
Well I don't want to think that Silkroad is not a mainstream anymore, because the game graphics are not so old and actually the age of the game makes only little impact, look at counter strike for example.
I think silkroad is worse because community has spread. Tons of choices, tons of people choose different servers. They run away and just decent servers can't fill themselves up, as they could last year (yeah, I talk from my own experience). So the only solution for me is to just wait for these crappy servers to die, hmpf..
