Where the memories of level 105 begin
Do you remember the legendary ZSZC-SRO?
It was amongst the first Silkroad Online private servers. A server where everyone was happy to play. Where everyone was active. Where nobody asked for unique events.
Where nobody insulted the donators. Believe it or not, we were players once too. Nobody cared about players who had been playing for a longer time and had a better char.
Nobody cared about players who used their money to gain even more beautiful stuff.
We were busy playing, even alone, or together.
We had our own circle of friends, just like in real life. A lot of players from different countries who were dealing all the time.
Elixirs, stones, elements. This fun is over by now. What happened to Silkroad Online? Even more servers keep opening day by day with bigger rates, more free silk.
There are so many servers nowadays that every group of friends has one to play on.
Players are unsecure, servers open and close.
One offers more, but unsecure players don't know where to wander and finally settle down for a long time.
Players started wandering and they want more and more, because they know that the actual server is in a rush, it's running out of time, other servers are ready to steal players.
That's why we would like to do something and it would be an honor if we could introduce you to ZSZC-Zone, that we built with a lot of years of experience.
We would like you to feel the nostalgia that you felt years ago.
We don't intend to steal the original name, that's why we modified it a little, not much, but just enough for the old players to find it.
If you would like to give a chance to a Silkroad Online server, where you can finally have the fun that you used to have, then it's your place.
We are working every day to keep the balance on the server that is one of the most important parts of the game. We care about the players and try to fulfil every need without events and overcomplicated edits.
We stick to the Cap 105 including 315+45 masteries to help you experience what character fits you the most.
We stick to the oldschool feeling, forget the big stacks and fancy weapons, because these are the things that always ruin a server.
ZSZC-Zone is waiting for you, where you don't have to be afraid that one day you won't be able to start the game. We assure you that your character was made on the best server possible.

Have fun on our server!
Sincerely,
The Team
Zszc-Zone created in: Hungary

So how will the server's sketch look like?
- Nothing is complicated
- No edits
- ZszcSro feeling
- Free Silks -- edited(though!)
- IP limit 2!
- Stable systems
- Hourly database backup
And what special things will you find on our server?
!!NOTHING!! You will not get blinded when you log on.
- No coin system, let alone coin farming
- No full sun in a week
- Oldschool things like penon taxi, ong farming, etc.!
- Organise, gather and take advantage of playing Silkroad Online.
One may rightfully ask: WHY is this server built? What audience do we aim?
Back in those days when silkroad servers were relatively stable, I was an active player myself, and it is my favorite game even until this day. And then came the day, when armies of private servers opened, and there were no options but to move from one to the other. They either got closed, or I got banned for some irrational reason, or I was hacked, or GM was a corrupt bastard, or they just simply fucked up the server in time. I had enough of it. So I started my own server. That was 4 years ago, and I had quite a few servers, which have let me to gain experience enough to setup, maintain, debug and edit silkroad servers at an impressive speed.
It certainly feels that the era of overedited servers are somewhat going down, soon they are over. I realize the fact that people are looking for decent (actually) Silkroad-ish server. Thus, I start one for the community.
Server details:
Exp rate: 30xSTART PLAYING! Forget that f**king 500x rates. That's not an MMORPG. Group up with people on penons and have afternoon parties together. It was so much fun back then, wasn't it? If you want to be someone, you will have to play for it.
I can guarantee you that your efforts won't be unnecessary!
Drop rate: 10x...and maybe that's even more than it should be. But we leave it as it is, so y'all can be happy about something. One thing is for sure: you will not be running to town every 30 minutes, because your inventory is full. You DO know the feeling, right? =)
Gold rate: 8xYou had better get accustomed to having 100m gold means hell of a lot of fortune. You all remember when you had your first million on iSRO, right? Catch that feeling... it's coming back.
Alchemy rate: 1x + Magic Lucky powderJust a slightly bit better than the original to make your life calmer. To the hell with +15-20 weapons, those servers are mainly pay to win. You will be super excited to try +7 on your weapon, and if it succeeds, you throw up a party. If you have glow on your weapon, that makes you unique. It is like that in 95% of other MMORPGs. And had not mentioned the lack of balance with such a high success rate.
Job rate: 10xA result of a long and thorough testing. We had our principles which we followed, and we decided this will be the optimal setting. We want the prices to remain real as well as players shouldn't be stuffed with gold. And since trading will be the best source of money on the server, it will worth to have as many trades as possible (and not just pressing the start button of mbot occasionly).
Magic Pop:Disabled! We don't want a Pay2Win server!
Fortress warAlthough it didn't exist back then, but it became a part of our silkroad lives. There must be a war among guilds and unions on the weekends. Do you remember the excitement when you were preparing for Fortress war? We don't want you to miss it.
Forgotten worldForgotten world with low rate. Only 2 star dimension holes are available at Samarkand grocery shop to incite you to go together, high price for pillars. You can get your T2 sos weapon reward at Samarkand storage for the collected talismans. T2 sos weapons will be a little stronger than normal sos, with like +2.
Job TempleYes, we know, Job temple wasn't a part of the real ZSZC.
Many more things weren't there either, but let's take advantage of the vsro files.
Besides, players wanted new things so here it is, Job temple.
You can buy T2 set parts from silver and gold coins that Job temple uniques drop.
The Job temple npc can be found at Samarkand teleport, it gives you directions to the teleport of Job temple.
Job temple unique spawn times:
Selket & Neith (silver coins) : every day at 3 PM and 9 PM
Anubis & Isis (gold coins) : every day at 5 PM and 11 PM (except sunday because of fortress war)
Haroeris & Seth (nothing, ignore them) : 1 PM and 7 PM
Title systemThat is right, you can wear titles according to your nationality in front of your char name! Check the new, camp fire looking NPC in the middle of Samarkand. If you buy this, you won't even have to worry about the zerk quests. Not to talk about the good looking. Read the NPC description for more information.
Last degree weapons and setsThere will be 3 kinds of last degree weapons, just like in ZSZC back then. 11D npc will be as strong as T1 and T2, they will just look differently. And of course 11D Seal of star editions which are stronger and better. Same goes to clothes and accessories.
Mastery Level 315 +45 like on ZszcSro!The mastery is 360, which means you can have 3x105 masteries and 1x45 can be spent according to your sake. Spend it wisely!
Cap 105 SkillsDelays
We decided to put some delays to avoid for example the pay2play style at Fortress war or global spamming.
30 seconds on global chatting, 5 minutes on ressurection scroll.
Delays in force
We decided to modify some things in force because it was too overpowered.
There is 1 minute cooldown on res to avoid the annoying behavior at fortress war, which is about who can resurrect more people faster. We hated it in isro with eu too, right?
Debuff probability has been decreased to 60% from 80%.
30 second cooldown on cure series to make PVP and fortress war more interesting.
Exchange Delay
On one hand, exchange delay is to prevent the annoying requests or pvp bug.
Stall Delay
On the other hand, stall delay is to avoid bugs connected to the stall system.
Multilanguage!!
Silkroad in other language than english on a private server
Yes, for the first time in silkroad history, disregarding isro, silkroad in hungarian language is available. We didn't care about money when we employed a translater to spend heavy hours in translating this beautiful game. Everything for our players.
Free silks:
-Yes, we will add free silk content, based on online uptime.
We believe that this is not the server where you should be bathing in silks.
Worse thing for the economy. So you will get free silk, under one temporary and one long-lasting condition:
! Be level 105.!
Okay, you raged out. Why do we want this? For the second: the reason is obvious, I hope I don't have to explain it.
As for the first, we have a solid reason: we don't want to unbalance the players' wallet - we have run into this error before, when the starters were stuffed with gold, while the not-even-so-late joiners were poor as hell. Also, we want you to advertise our server and call your friends to play with. Even I will join the players!
Monster spawns rebalanced
Some areas full of mobs, others empty - we worked on this one to ensure you less annoyance when you are grinding!
..And that's not all! You'll be able to meet the monsters from Jangan Cave in Constantinople (85-97) and Samarkand (98-105)!
2 Gameservers [40.000 monsters]
Oldschool stacking!
Gathering has always been one of the SRO stuffs you always had to cope with in the past times. We add some stacking for your comfort (elxirs = 50 stack, tablets = 50 stack), but stones will not be stackable by principle (and of course because it will get attribute assimilation %'s bugged). The time of storage characters is back, and you will be rather selling some of your stored goods, thus giving a buttkick to the server's economy.
Don't be mad because of the basic potion stack! You can buy cute potion packages from item mall!
Oldschool glows
I think we all like the things we are used to. So the glows will stay as they were published by joymax.
Launcher & Login screen
Database backup in every hours
We have automatic database backup every hour in case something occurs, so we can restore everything fast. Not every server can do this.
Some rules about the server:
No racism!
- We decided to take this very seriously. Openly (private chat is not included!) insulting someone else's nation, religion, skin color, etc. will result in a temporary ban upon report.
No scam!
- Fake chars copying reliable people or just simple scammers will be permanently banned upon report. We strongly encourage everyone to screenshots of every business action to ensure safety. We will get your item back, if the guily person is proved to be a scammer.
Don't insult the staff!
- We are people who do A F**K*NG LOT OF WORK to maintain the server. Is this the honor that you wanna f**k our mothers, or worse? Temporary ban will be provided, be cautious.
Don't cry for events!
- Nothing is more annoying than the idiots who is nothing else but "EVENT PLEZ GM" in global for hours. It is more powerfully annoying for the GMs. Why? Because events aren't part of the game envorinment. It's just some occasional candy from the staff to the players. If you want to play here because there will be event every hour, don't even think about joining! Crying people will get DC if they are annoying most of the people, or the GM.
NOTE: if you have no idea what to do when there are no events, I will list all the activities that make your MMORPG playing worthwhile.
Try to remember what you did back then!
- Level up (you will have time to level up)
- Trade (gold is something you will always need)
- Alchemy (obvious part of the game, fun)
- Stall, trade (all the WTS/WTB, everyone likes business.
)- Quests (to have titles and blue zerk)
- PVP (Good old fights at Donwhang, remember?)
Now, few words about the properties of the server:
Firstly, the parameters:
- vSRO server files 188
- Usual bugs are fixed
- Stable
- Exploits are prevented (for example no exchange bug in pvp)
- Anti-DDoS system (Hyperfilter)
- No lag (decent server machine)
- Auto database backup in every hours
And the functions:
What you have to know, that we reseted basically everything to normal.
1: Grinding - obviously
2: Job system - everyone will trade, right?
3: Alchemy - the rate is low
4: Zerk title quests - Captain, General!
One can easily say, that the content is really minimal, compared to other servers. This isn't much, but it is deliberately like this! We don't want you to get overwhelmed or base your playtime upon ultraspecial features of our own invention. Less extra features, less bugs! And the less is sometimes more.

Questions / Answers
1. How do I know if the GM is corrupt or not?
- Our team consists of 2 guys. We both want the server to be succesful, neither of us wants to ruin it.
We are from the same country, but it doesn't mean we treat anyone in a different way. Every player is equal in our eyes. Even if you donate 100$ or not. Don't let yourself be fooled by the numbers, we are a professional team. (Everyone can say that, right?) We aren't kids either to promote all of our friends to GMs. No, it's not GM road. We are perfectly enough for it. Our goal isn't ripping off our players then close the server like others do it. Anyway, don't believe me, believe your eyes.
2. What does the GM spend the donations on?
- My first plan is (apart from upgrading the server if it is necessary) to buy a well-written website with a decent design.
3. How do I know if the server will not close in a month?
- You cannot know. We all cannot know. It is all up to you people, if you populate the server, it will be long living!
We are not the type of server owners who get some money from the server and close instantly. We have been working on this for weeks. We will do everything to keep it open. One word: quality!4. Pay2win, right?
- Sure! Oh f**k, I mean, no, no. There's nothing in the server you can't get without donating.
5. 63412 zerk titles buyable for silk?
- Maybe later we'll add some zerk titles you can choose from.
5. Balanced?
- Everything is in the original state as developed by Joymax.
6. Active GMs?
- Yes, in the background. We are constantly processing the feedback about the server and developing the parts of the game where we feel it necessary.
7. So there will be no event GMs?
- Yup! No people whose daily job is to entertain people. People can entertain themselves and eachother perfectly well like in every other normal game. So don't ask for events! There will be occasional events by the admin, but not by people who have nothing else to do. We take this very seriously, so don't bother crying.
8. Can I have your contact, GM?
- No, sorry. You can write us on facebook, on our official page. That's what we use for support. You will get an answer within 12 hours unless you spam or insult us.
9. Won't it be late for me to start after months?
- No, because that's the most beautiful in these kinds of servers, being weeks or months late means never a disadvantage. Since the alchemy rates aren't high, you won't meet +10 and +20 weapons at your arrival that seem impossible to achieve.
