Since the grand opening of this Cap 90 upgrade, we’ve had absolutely ZERO downtime, ZERO lag, and ZERO major issues. Global Silkroad has been running for 11 months now. We started at Cap 80, then launched a second server on the same server list (iSRO-style), and later merged both into one. That’s an extremely complex process — one I dare any other developer or server owner to successfully execute like we, the Global Silkroad Team, did. The Cap 90 upgrade happened just a few weeks ago and served as a massive refresh for the server. It brought in thousands of new players and many old ones returned as well. If anything, this proves we're on the right track — exceeding expectations and achieving real success without faking anything! Anyone can see for themselves and judge how successful Global Silkroad has become. You guys have been so brainwashed by scam servers that flood party matching with fake parties just to trick players into thinking they’re populated. There are tons of FREE bots that server owners can use to create fake stall characters in town and fake parties in party matching. Here’s one that’s widely used for that shady purpose: [Only registered and activated users can see links.

So please, stop falling for these scam servers. A server cannot hold more than 4500–5000 real online players, I’m saying this as someone who has developed some of the most successful servers out there. Servers with numbers that others could only dream of. I know very well the real limits of the vSRO 188 files.

The only thing that changed is everyone’s character level. Levels were reset to 1 so that new players joining the upgrade aren’t forced to spend a week catching up while old players are already farming 9D gear and stacking even more gold than they had before. In short: everyone keeps their progress, items, and everything - only the playing field for leveling was reset. Seems fair enough.

You and your crew are giving different answers onto why the top ranks are the way they are, I asked earlier, they told me the top 20 are people who were here in cap 80, had gold and good starting positions before anyone else, like Devil upgrades and such and this is why they are having a head start. However when asked again, they argue that no, the top 20 players are new people and they were the good citizens they are that they farmed alot, by maybe doing endless trading or sth, collected gold, swapped with silk, and now are dominating the server.. lol Truth is I can offer your game masters 5~10k USD dividing them between upgrades now and be made top rank pretty easy in a day time, this is how sro works now a days and tbh with you it's not that bad if people are willing to pay. I am not picking fights btw, I know a server gotta have its own money to survive to the next season or upgrade or soft reset or hard reset or what ever it is. At least your server toned down guild deals. Is not as heavy cash grabber as Sailor online, I heard one of your top 10 guy got his gear donating only 300~450 USD which is a relatively good price compared to the major cash grab that Sailor online is right now.

The difference is, we actively try to reduce that as much as possible without breaking the game’s economy, and judging by what you just said, it seems we’ve done a decent job at it. As for the top 20 players, I can’t say with 100% certainty whether they’re mostly newcomers who donated or old players who’ve been here since the Cap 80 Grand Opening back in September 2024 (almost a year ago). Rankings can shift depending on when you check, and it’s also possible that staff answering you at different times had different levels of knowledge about who was at the top at the time you asked. At the end of the day, that doesn’t make the server bad. It just means competition exists, and whether someone climbs the ranks through time, skill, strategy, or wallet, the choice has always been part of Silkroad’s nature. What matters is that we try our best to keep things balanced enough for everyone to still have a reason to play. Cheers!
