It was my first private server after I left iSro (1.5 months after they released 110 cap I left due to sox losing it's value and importance, and other stuffs) EliteSRO was the best. There were no edits and it might be the last server I played while enjoying it. I never get to play ZSZC ECSRO befcause I was a solid iSro player. But man EliteSRO was something else.Quote:
I'm convinced that 90% of the people who say they want a better server that isn't an overedited rainbow puke wouldn't be playing EliteSRO if it came back in the original settings when it was 100 cap.
I will never understand why people wants to play those shiny fully editted servers. I really respect to the open market dynamics but main problem is the ones who realizes that those servers are not fun, starts to look normal least editted servers and they see that these servers has really low amount of player so they leave silkroad scene for sure. I tried couple "reborn - rebirth" servers but man it was really ugly...
I respect everyone's opinion but I feel like the core squad left silkroad and moved on to the other games or moved on with their lives. As I remember the biggest legit non bot guild Avalon in Venus left silkroad after the release of 110 aswell and they moved on the BlackDesert (even the gamemasters of the silkroad moved on there)
We allways tried to find a way to minimize the effort (which is really normal for the human race since it's written in our codes) by botting, opening multi-clients and so on. But I am sure that most of the people realized that this is actually killing the game (killed). Can we blame players for trying to find a easier way to get the power against other one? No. WOW spending millions for their protection system. Why Joymax couldn't stop it?
Some servers created systems like everyone mentioned before; jobbing for coins, coins for items, crafts and many more sh**y systems that I don't even know about. They all did it to make people stop botting (or atleast make botting useless) What most people didn't understand about this game is that; Silkroad is a journey, a journey that contains lots of PVE, group fightings, PVP, group PVPs. But everyone wants to be focused on PVP 7/24 in order to show their dominance to forget their pitty life. Instead of creating systems to make bot useless try to understand the main roots by checking official Japanese Silkroad, Korean Silkroad. Megamax done something really great, we all discussed in the closed-open phases and decided to make auto hunting mode less rewarding. Full afk botting (which is; bot buys pots by itself, walks back to the hunting area) killed the game and we keep creating non-sense systems to make bot disabled.
The only solution we can find is sticking together. We are allready really small community regarding to other games, it's really amazing to see that some people still wanna keep the game and it's memory alive after 15 years even though main founder company Joymax/JCPlanet wants to kill their game. We should not divide players according to the their races or nations. Instead of puking the rage we collected irl, we should try to help and talk. We all love this game, we just need to take care eachother instead of slandering or pointing them out to make them humiliated. We don't know eachother, we must protect each other in all cost for the love of silkroad.
