The Reason i have voted iSRO is mainly because all other Versions of Silkroad, Including Private Servers have lost the "Fun" That they used to contain. I have prob played Every Silkroad Private Server and Every Real Foreign Silkroad Versions Around and none of them ever seem as good and as stable as Regular Silkroad Online..
Joymax is not the best of company's to be running this game, As they are clearly Money Hungry and all there latest updates prove that but i guess thats the best your really going to get..
Private Servers are pretty much the same, Sure they start out good, No lag, Great community's.. Then what? Esro - Login Server Started Crashing Daily, Server Lag Started up.. ZSZC - Fire Server Crashed, Water Server Starts Crashing , Clearly a Money Hungry Group of Server Owners.. And for all other servers are exactly the same..
Emus are Lag full servers with to many bugs to keep someone Addicted.. But hey, What do you expect?
Now before people start flaming at me for speaking my mind, Let me explain to you this.. Sure Private Servers have EXP Boosts Meaning you get to your cap fast! and you can then start doing everything you wanted.. But how long does it take for that to get boring? For me, I Capped 105 in Fire, Then lost all interest 2 weeks later.. Everything started being the same.. Unique Events? Once a Week Max..PVP? Always the same people attacking you, Losing then calling there Guilds.. Silkroad Online Gets Boring sure, But think about the first time you played it, How long did it take you to get bored? After my First Week i was Addicted, After about a Year i was spending thousands of $ on it.. Sure its a waste but its for fun to.. And i Enjoy Every Moment of it..
If you read all i wrote here then you will either agree with me or you will just hate everything Ive said.. Either way.
