Another maintenance?

Is it worth it to join as a new player?

Nice server i just started playing sro again cause i got the childhood vibes back.

phbot work for it server?

No, boting is forbidden. You can only use macro skill - this is hal bot with auto skill and auto hunting + some extra setting. Its very fair because there is gold farm on this server and its better to play by yourself (except grind and farming) in holy watter temple , trade, battle arena, ctf ect. because you get better benefits. But if you want you can set macro skill on spot and go afk, but on macro you get only 20% gold and drop is 40% rate.

So I played on this server for a couple of weeks. Here are my 2 cents:
It looked decent at the beginning. Started with a friend, had fun while grinding and gearing up. At week 2 I realized that there is this thing called "Sailor Pass". It is stated that this pass contains "exclusive visual items as avatars, titles and many more". Which does not sound too bad right? Turns out it is actually P2W because you get buffs and items which increase the power of your character or of your trade mount by quite a bit. So you don't only need Prem+ but also this pass. Which is like 590 silk (~$20). Don't fall for this false advertisement and keep in mind that you will have to pay here.

What you get:
- 8% damage increase when being in a party
- 2% damage and resistence increase
- 5% movement speed increase
- 4 STR & INT increase
- When being in job mode
-> 3 STR & INT increase
-> 3% block increase
-> 1200 HP increase
-> 8% movement speed increase
- Trade mount with increased movement speed and HP

One thing you miss to point out is that all those so called pay2win buffs can be achieved also from playing the game.
There are special job titles which require playing to achieve.
The str 4 and int 4 flag was made weaker by 1 str/int1 because the game obtainable flag is str/int 5.

Also the those titles are level gated. Each Sailor Pass item has a level requirement which only goes up by job level which means playing the game.
Lv6 job is not as easy to achieve. By the time one person reaches lv6 job someone could farm that title from game.

The Sailor Pass is created so players have a fair way of supporting the server without creating big pay2win gaps. All items given from the sailor pass can also be purchased with in-game ways and at most scenarios even have better stats in those versions.

All revenue gained from Sailor Pass is used for our monthly real money prize pool events, the better sales the more events we will be making.

Believe it or not, if you take the time to read this guide you will easily find out that all end-game Egyptian items are completely "untradeable" and can only be acquired by your very own effort.

We have protected the game system from the pay2win aspects to make sure it's very balanced for all players which is already proven by now reaching in the 6th month with players and guilds all very close in terms of itemisation regardless of how much they donated.

Such tweaks are there to ensure the server keeps having an income and can make those huge events giving back all revenue to our loyal players. We already made pvp and other events with total prize pool exceeding 3k$.

Greetings.

People who can read between the lines obviously know what's going on. You can keep hiding your intentions behind the "we do everything for the server" mentality. Take a look at Riot Games and other companies which only offer visuals in their item shops. They are serious about it and don't milk every penny. Sailor is not. Silkroad does not need those premium items.

Is this the only server with a built in bot?
