Idea/Discussion: Subscription based server.

Hello everyone,

Sorry in advance if I'm writing this on the wrong subforum, but here it goes.

We all know how every "Play2Win" server works, It just isn't. And that's okay, Silkroad is a Pay2Win game, it always was and always will be. Making some item mall items accessible by playing doesn't eliminate the fact that people who pay $$ for it will get it faster.

So, recently, I had this idea, however, I'm not a developer, so, I'm unable to open my own server, but I know there are many around here. Paid subscription based SRO private server. You could recieve item mall items in many ways and you could only login to your account if the subscription is active.

Any thoughts?

One more time, sorry if this isn't the right place to discuss this subject.

Best regards,

I would gladly join a server like that. It would be the only true Play2Win experience.

its a good idea but will not get the amount of the players what will make the server life for a long time cuz who will playing in the server what's will pay and most of the players want to play for free , anyway i'm a developer if u want i have my custom programs

I'm here just to clarify P2W which refers to the game designed with some game shop that include items or any kind service which make the game experience in general, easier, faster. Something which an user that doesn't pay for those can't achieve.

Yes, Silkroad Online was designed to be P2W (Pay To Win) not because the fact there is rentable items but there is buffs and stuffs which can stand out from a normal user like Devil Spirit, Immortal/Astral stones, buff scrolls, resurrection scrolls, etc.

No, Silkroad Online is not P2W because of people selling their progress.

If you want good references try to look around other games, not just Silkroad Online servers.. You'll find find many subscription based games.

The most popular and similar one is WOW (World of Warcraft) which requires an active subscription in order to keep playing after level 20.
It is called P2P (Pay2Play) and you'll find the same issue you just mentioned where there is a lot players selling his progress/items.

I recommend you to analyze WoW and get your own conclusions. :p
