s: i'm seeing a team that truly love Silkroad Online and worked hard for opening a player based (that part is so important, because we all know Joymax did what to this community) Silkroad Online server.
If you want to be succesfull on your work, just act like Riot Games, the biggest game team for me, they only did right moves with 2 things:
1-justice on game (continuous balences)
2-they only sold cosmetic things
in Silkroad world, the 2nd matter is hard to do (Silk selling), but if you do continuous balences depend alpha/beta phases and player returning reports, you can be succesfull and grow up continuously
Thanks if you read
and waiting for my questions reply
edit: ah sorry OB today ... so where can i register?

Open beta will start tomorrow (You've just missed alpha stage of 7 months)
About your suggestion, it's impossible to apply it on silkroad. It's good that u somehow admire Riot Games to keep a high quality game free for everyone and keep the balance with frequent patches and making donations for purely cosmetics. Sadly, silkroad is not the game you could compare with LoL for some reasons:
1) First of all, SilkRoad is a MMORPG, the nature of this genre (sadly) is to be pay2win, we can keep certain balance, but donators will always be in the top first, non-donators can reach high, but it will take more time.
2) The server bills are not cheap, maybe you didn't know it, but although silkroad is a game you can run in any toaster, a silkroad server actually requires a decent machine, only silkroad map already requires a huge amount of ram memory and a nice processor (Xeon - prices around $1500~$2000) to be ran. Otherwise you'll get a laggy server that will eventually crash when a lot of people joins.
3) SilkRoad design doesn't fit a game where you could donate just for cosmetics, in LoL there are over a hundred champions with a lot of cool skins, here you have the same char with just 3-4 avatars and every avatar has only 1 purpose: PvP, Luck or Unique Hunt. So you'll basically see players with the same avatar all time so if donations where based on purely cosmetics, there wouldn't be any silkroad server online. SilkRoad servers income comes from Monthly items (Fellow pet packages, premium, devil, pet clock) and from daily usage items (For this server, Immortals, Reverse, Globals, etc) so the concept of having a server where donators and non donators are equal is non existent. As soon as the first monthly bill comes it will be shut down :/
It's good that you give a try here, you won't get disappointed, RIGID team is really nice, true skilled developers that don't rely on old success reputation or copy pasted features, this is brand new, innovative, something you won't regret to try :D
