Then we started to download the client from their homepage and it was weird, full of viruses...

Their support kept telling me that those are false positives and that it's a common thing for the antivirus to mark them as a threat, which sounds just wrong to me...
We still decided to keep going and joined their grand opening at friday, same night one of my friends said that he has seen some bug on someones stream about duping certain items and we tried it ourselves. Long story short, that was the result:

It's not even worth to keep playing, we decided to leave the server right away at Saturday. Today, Sunday, I rechecked about the overall situation on the server and not gonna lie, we left for good...
homepage playercount: 1800

Don't waste your time with that one, but if you are still playing and want some silks DM me on discord, I'm giving them away for free.

Hello, first of all I would like to apologize for your bad experience in the server. We look into everybody’s complaints and criticisms in order to make Acromus more entertaining for everyone.
First of all, regarding the virus situation - yes; these are false positives caused by information that our custom DLL is using (identification of your PC to enforce bans and limit restrictions) and also the packed client. The client applications (silkroad.exe and sro_client.exe) are original JOYMAX exes and not a cause to worry whatsoever. Flagging is normal and you will experience it in almost every server that you join (that has custom protection & limits).
To prevent the spread of these errors, we have been trying to get our DLL whitelisted by Microsoft. Our request is currently pending, so within a couple weeks, this issue should be totally resolved.
Regarding the gold dupe - yes, this was an issue in the grand opening. After we discovered it, we immediately took the server down for maintenance and patched the bug. We traced the abusers and removed all of the gold that they received as a benefit of abusing this bug, and also a harsh warning about bug abuse. Abuse is completely against all Acromus policies - the reporter was rewarded and the abusers were punished. We are always on top of the critical bugs and issues that appear! Acromus is a first time server - there will certainly be bugs that appear out of nowhere that we’re not detected before, but we are always here to fix them immediately.
Finally, regarding the party matching situation - for sure you took this image while the server was fresh off of a restart. As you can see in towns, the server is very active and everyone is participating in events!
We would be more than happy to provide a direct screenshot from the SMC for Acromus’ shard to prove that the count is real. We have no reason to fake anything. Acromus is a first time server and we have already experienced great success. We will also be pushing an update very soon to implement many of the communities suggestions.
Thanks.
