What about a p2p pserver?

Hi everyone..

As you can see, this is my very first post, so if there is something wrong, mods let me know.

As the title says, I am asking what do you think about a p2p (pay-to-play) private server creation? I would like this to be more a discussion, an opinion exchange, rather then bunch of begs and asking about facts. I was thinking about a whole new concept, not necessarily a modified emulation, but a different approach.

I am a Silkroad Online player since a few years (with more or less pauses), on official and pservers as well. I always been interested about that argument, but now I decided to make a little marketing, to see, just in case, if it would worth trying to make one or not (of course, not alone). I know there are some of them (free&paid), some are quite good (eg. ESRO), but all of them has some limitations. Honestly, I miss those good ol'days, before the rise of bots, when login was easy, market was very exciting too..

Was thinking about a symbolic fee, eg. 1$/month.

Again, this is just an idea, just a query on that.

Well, I am waiting for your opinion. My english is far from perfect, so sorry for any typo and missunderstoods this may lead.

Thank you.

P2P Silkroad? lol.

Go to swsro

A p2p server 1$/month or 10$ for acc, NO 10k plýz turk :D, 90-110 cap, 30x-50x rates, starter set (like 50 silk 50k sp or something), euro or not i don't care.. That would be perfect pserver for me :D

You have to wait for new servers
Dont try to play swsro because its EPIC fail
Or zszc(retro) because of corruption gm's
You have just to wait

@ Nacirema - If you think a bit, for older players like me, official Silkroad Online is p2p anyways. Just think about the login.. Not to mention other things..

@ KingLi & saif1999 - Sorry, but I am talking about creating a new server by us, not about joining an existing/future one.

@I Use Glavie - Well, ideas are ideas, but I thought something more like an almost "identical" official server, with easy gameplay between certain limits (not the ones proposed by you)

Thank you guys, I am still waiting for others ideas as well..

How you want create a server without files?

it's hypothetic

Nezekan is right. It's all a theoretical thing, to observe, how many would agree with something like that.

@KingLi - The real thing is a whole other way.. But if you asked, and I expect some would call me crazy for that, I was thinking to take the hard way to build (with the help of existing emulators, with help of other programmers, and who knows, maybe you.. :) ) from scratch a server, simple by "guessing" the server side, finding the packets, the opcodes the client would send and expect, and of course reverse engineering what it needs. Here I mention that I am not a kid, and I know this is not a one day job to do (thus p2p), but still, I believe it can be done. Once again, it's all at level of idea atm.

You will never accomplish this target... just forget to recreate it xD

Alot of ppl have just tried same as you but guess what ? they failed


i don't disappoint you but GL :)

Yes, I realise that I am not the one who discovered the light, :) , and probably you (and others) have right. Anyway, thank you.

Said that, I will keep an eye on this topic a few more days, and if everybody will think the same (that it's impossible), I will live with that.. :)

Thanks again.

just do it
