Introduction:
Greetings players, we are proud to announce the beginning of a new era of Silkroad Online, our unique project "Taurus Reborn".
Taurus has first met its birth more than a year ago, controlled by a team of two members only, handling hundreds of players. Now we came back with much more powerful team which containing four developers who have a long experience with private silkroad servers. We can't wait until you see what we have prepared for you this time.
In Taurus on one hand, we emphasis on the classic triangular job conflict which is the core of the good old game and on the other
hand, we still went to great lengths to keep the game as entertaining as possible without making it over-editted.
In a nutshell, we have created a balanced game-play that features the best of both worlds. Some of you might see it as a cliche, but here we go for it in full power - we will bring the old silkroad times! With the focus on sticking to the old gameplay plot, and features that made for fixing the gliches between private server & old original silkroad, we can do it. A moment before you tell yourself "Oh no, another server telling bullshit about bringing the old school times", give us a chance and read the thread, we promise you won't regret it. The features you are about to see will leave you with your mouth open, "How did they do it?" - it always seems impossible until it’s done. No introduction words can explain what you are going to see, so we hope we raised the enthusiasm enough and you can move on for reading the thread.
About Us:
We are a team that consists a several professional ex-players that have played this game from the very beginning, dating back from 2005 until the actual game was destroyed by none other than its creator themselves, fortunately, we are here to change that and help you to bring your beloved game back from the dead.
Beta Phase: (9th of September ~ 18th of September) - 10 days
Nobody's perfect, or in our case there is no such thing as a bug free game, our experience had taught us many things, one of them is - "Perfection has its price". In order to realize our dream of an enjoyable gameplay, it has to be a bug-free experience, to do so we have estimated 10-days of beta preiod which will grant a 100% confidence in a smooth gaming experience. That is why we encourage you all to particpiate in the beta phase. During the beta phase you will have the opportunity to learn the game mechanics and to excel in the game before everyone else does. Furthermore, we will use this time to improve and to make final-descision's on the server, before the game progress as to your needs!
At the end of the beta phase all of your characters will be deleted, however, your accounts will stay put. As for the beta reward, when the beta starts we will set targets with prizes. For example, the players reaching level 60 in the first two days will get 100 credits (silk) at the grand opening. Another example is players reaching plus 5 will get other 100 credits (silk). More detailed explanation will be given to you at the starting of the beta on sunday.

We have 2 dedicated servers in Europe, with 1gbps each.
Both of our servers are fully DDoS protected, we're using one of the best filter's, which is built by our own team.
All the tools that we're using & the features you see in-game - were built by us and only by us, we don't trust anyone else, therefore we can promise you, there shall be no embarrassments.
Information Intel i9-7900x 10 Cores / 20 Threads Stock OC @ 4.5Ghz Turbo Boost 3.0 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3000Mhz CL14 2 x 500 GB SSD (Sata III) 1 x 500GB SSD (NVME m.2)
As you can tell, we've made the rates a bit harder compared to other servers. That's because we are aiming to return to the old school feeling as was mentioned before. In addition to that, lower rates are also a crucial ingredient in the recipe for a long-term healthy server.
Information Value Extra Information Level Cap 100 Mastery Limit 400. Races Europe and China None PC LIMIT 3 None Fortress PC LIMIT 1 None EXP Rate 20x Party EXP Rate: 25x SP Rate 25x None Item Rate 3x None Gold Rate 1.25x None Sox Rate 3x Star/Moon/Sun. Alchemy Rate Hard +2 success for sure. Maps JG/DW/HT/SM/CS Basic maps Only. Fortress War Jangan Only May change if needed. FGW Enabled For sun weapons Battle Arena Disabled None CTF Enabled None Guild union chat permission Unlimited None Maximum number of chars allowed in account 8 None
As we said before, we want to keep the value of the gold in the game and for that reason, you will start with no gold.
Fair Warning: Selling seal of star set will give you nothing since the equipment items have been given to you for free and make earnings from it is an out of question thing, you can't earn any gold by selling it.
In Taurus, you will get auto equipment items adequately to your current degree, in order to help you prepare for the next degree.The equipment will be seal of star + 5 full blue, you will be granted with auto-equipment items until you reach 8th degree.
As any experienced player knows, jangan cave is not the place for botting and there is no other place for that in 100 cap. Therefore, we edited the level of the mobs in samarkand to 99-100.
Samarkand is the best grinding area, there are a lot of good grinding spots there and the spawn-despawn rate is perfect, the vibe there reminds the good times on iSRO when this area was full of powerlvl groups of parties.
Maybe the next gif will get you in that mood...
- Trophies system? Please, we hate coin systems.
We love the old original silkroad gameplay, it shouldn't be changed, hold on, we hate them too, take a moment to get what we have to say, we promise make it worth your while.
One of the most fun and main systems in the Silkroad gameplay is the job system, which is basically based on "Gold", you pay X amount of gold for the goods, and if everything goes well you will receive a bit more than what you invested by selling the goods in another town.
This original feature has really worked on ISRO times when gold was really worthy, but times have changed and in the world of the sro private servers where the gold rates are easier and players level up faster and getting items faster - gold value is not as it used to be.
If gold is not that important, people won't bother themselves to do trade runs and we lose one of the systems that players enjoying the most in this game.
So, here comes the "Trophies System", which mainly made for reviving the job system, you can check your trophies balance anytime on the item mall window (it's getting updated real time).
But before we run to the trophies amount and the things you can do with it, you need to understand what is the main reason for it and how to get the trophies.
- We edited the goods sellers, now each NPC is offering no more than 2 items. The first item is the normal goods you know, you buy it for gold and you get even more gold if you sell it in another town. The second item is a bit different, you can get it only if you have trophies. The idea is the same, you sell the item in another town and you get double than the amount (by selling 100 goods, you get 200 trophies).
What reasons are behind this?
Untill today, thieves couldn't earn anything from selling the goods (the goods gold price is really low and not worth the effort).
When servers tried to raise the reward for thieves, they all encounted the problem in protecting the simple cheating trick, in which you buy goods with trader, drop it in a place near the town and relogging with a thief player to pick it and sell it in the thieves town.
But that's most server dont realize is that the nature of situations like these can happen for real - protecting it with systems that will block thieves from picking the goods when it's too close to town is completely not the way.
There's a reason that the job system has built with no extra profits for thieves.
Now, with the trophies system the problem is solved. How? Let's take an example in which trader buys 5* trophy goods, he paid for it 10,000 trophies and lost it to a thief. The thief sells it for the same price the trader invested, 10k trophies.
This way, the thief earns 10k trophies without paying or risk anything.
The same profit for both, trader or thief - but no way to cheat!.
It's true, the trader risks 10K trophies but don't forget that the trader has the option to choose when to go for a trade run, while thieves are dependent on other traders.
So now, when you are aware for the main reason to this system we hope you understand that this system is not as any other coins system, it's all made for fixing the job system and make the thieves world alive again.
How to get the first trophies? After all you can't buy goods with no trophies.
You can get your first trophies in 5 different ways.
Method Reward Killing normal uniques 10 Times the level of the killed unique. Ex: Tiger girl (Lv.20) will give you 200 trophies. Killing players in CTF Random trophies (1-100 trophies) scrolls for each kill Winning special events Depends on the event Goods stealing Depends on the amount of the goods the trader has bought Rankings Ranking competitions such as top unique killer, top voters and more.
- In the hot areas of any town you will see NPC called "Trophies shop". This NPC has four tabs of items that can be bought with trophies, these tabs are:
- Talismans
- Scrolls
- Alchemy
- Other
- In the "Talismans" tab, you can find most of the talismans. The missing talismans can be obtained by the forgotten world or by the "Random talisman scroll" from the "Scrolls" tab.
- At the "Scrolls" tab, you will see many scrolls with different purposes, some of them might be useful for you and you can get it for the right amount of trophies. An example for scroll there is "Stats reset scroll", which is resetting your character stats and give you the stat points back, so if you missed up with the stats you can use it. All the scrolls have clear names with a description to explain you exactly what the scroll does, feel free to take a look on it in the game.
- The "Alchemy" tab contains special stones that will give you unique blues to your items.
- On the last tab, "Other", you will see different type of items, and also there everything is clear, you can find yourself an item you like and buying it for it's trophies price.
Later on reading some of the features you will see other usages of the trophies and items to buy.
Trophies shop
On Taurus, we made features you have never seen before, no doubt, you are going to like it. With the new features, we didn't break any rule, the game is still the way it was - no critical changes were made in the plot of game, just a few improvements and steps to bring things back to the good old days of glory.
In order to get a better understanding of what we offer, we suggest you to take a look on the features.
- The mercenaries is an original feature from Silkroad Online cap 80, that for unknown reasons is bugged in vsro 1.188 files, some servers have managed to fix the bug and make them work again, but no server managed to do what we did. A moment before, let us tell you what the mercenaries are, they are basically soldiers, or "NPCs" of the game that help you in fight your battles.
There are a lot of advantages to having mercenaries, such as:
- They help to make the game more balanced, from now on even weaker players will be able to win against stronger ones, thanks to the help of mercenaries, for example in trades, a weak thief with help of the mercenaries will be able to win more fights against traders/hunters.
- They make the game look more alive, more filled. Once you spawn the mercenaries, it's basically like having a private guards, or a small army, it makes fights look better and also motivates you to engage in them.
- They are loyal! Mercenaries will follow you anywhere, they also follow when you're riding on a pet, and they teleport with you as well. This way you won't waste them so fast.
- Mercenary idea is still old-school based, original and very unique considering they mostly don't work on other servers.
So these are the advantages, and much more to come with mercenaries. Now let's tell you a bit more about them and about what we did with them.
The mercenaries were usually active in fortress wars, while only guild manager could use them, until today!
In our server, we have removed this limit as no server has managed to do before, and everyone can use them from now on. You can get them for gold, in the guild manager NPC ( any town ).
- Old school SRO players probably remember this feature in the game, for all of those who are not, here is a little reminder, Pandora’s box is a special item that summons strong ELITE mobs once used.
After you open the box it’d be wise to have a party of players with you to help you kill whatever is waiting inside, there’s a time limit in which you have to kill the mobs, summoning sequence starts with mobs ten levels lower than you being spawned and gradually spawning stronger and higher level mobs all the way until the level of your own character.
We’ve edited these mobs significantly, and made them much stronger, to offer a proper challenge to people and you probably wonder why?
These mobs have special item drops, such as Immortal & Astral stones, VIP scroll and also yellow title scrolls.
If you manage to perfectly kill all the mobs from the Pandora box, you will receive many of these special drops (more than 15), it's a treasure box, literally.
The box itself can be dropped from Uniques, the higher level of the Unique mob the higher the chance to drop Pandora’s Box, it can also be bought for 1.5M trophies.
- If you speak one of these languages: Arabic/Aramaic/AzeriDhivehi/Maldivian/Hebrew/Kurdish/Persian/Farsi/Urdu, this system might be very useful for you.
These languages and a few more are written from right to left (RTL), and the original game client does not support it. If you ever tried to type a words in this languages you probably found yourself typing in reverse, but no more. We have developed a special DLL that fixing this problem, and from now on you will be able to type correctly also in RTL (right to left) languages, you need to do nothing for having this option, it's already built in our dll extenstion.
- AFK Bubbles are bubbles animation appearing above AFK char. AFK char is a character that didn't do any action for at least two minutes.
Once you do any action while you are in AFK state (sending a guild request for example), bubbles will disappear and you will get out of the AFK state.
This system helps you to detect which players are currently playing and which players have left the client opened but they are not really there, no more wonders about state of characters, you can know which players are active at any given moment and which are idle.
- Character session lock system will lock your account temporarily and you wont be able to exchange/stall/drop/move/etc items by doing so your charcater is protected while your away.
Type !lock <4digit password> in "All chat" window to lock your character, to remove the lock type !unlock <yourpassword>
The lock will be automatically removed if you log off or disconnected.
- A VIP character enjoys special commands and nice features that normal players can't take part in. For example, the color of a global wrriten from VIP character is blue, and not yellow as the other players.
As a VIP player, you start with a title of VIP, but you don't have to be afraid - you can change the title and still have the authorities as long as the VIP period didn't expired. Furthermore, you are free to control the titles as a VIP player using the commands !titles and !settitle <TITLE>.
You can become a VIP character by using the "VIP Scroll", there are a couple ways to get this title.
One way is buying it from the trophies shop for a price of 500K trophies, the other way is to obtain it by a drop from the Pandora Box or from special uniques, one final way of acquiring VIP title is from the "Random title scroll", this will give you authorities of VIP account.
(You can change the title again without losing the VIP authorities)
Note: The moment you became a VIP member, you have a week to enjoy it's privileges, after that you will back to be a normal character status, so you might aswell enjoy every moment of it.
- A visual effect that will help you determine which type of elixir you're dealing with.
- We suppose that most of you know this system, but for those who don't:
The plus notice system, is system which sends a notice to all players on the server for every plus enhancement that any player made starting from +7.
This system fuels the competition between the players on the server, and makes it more interesting.
Note: All players who wish to hide their alchemy actions from the entire server's plus notice system can change their account settings to "private" in the website panel.
- We have chosen to enable the FGW system and to let you the players get talisman cards from it.
This way is one of 2 ways to get talisman cards in our servers (the other way is the trophies system).
Finishing the talisman collection is the only way to get seal of sun weapon!
- We have changed the word "Silk" to the word "Credit".
The server is called Taurus so you can scratch that "Silk" word off your mind, it doesnt exist anymore, we have chosen a global name for our premium (silk) currency which is "Credit(s)".
We've put a lot of work & thinking into what would please most of the server's community, we meticulously added premium items paying attention to the smallest details such as avatar effect's and up to the most common stuff as a variety of premium items. The credit items will be sold in the "Special items" shop, which can be found at the hot places in any town.
Credit items
- We have added more than 100 titles, half of them can be obtained by scrolls, and the other half by special ways, winning a pvp event for example, would give you "PvP Master" title.
Title Scrolls will be sold for 40K trophies in the trophies shop, furthermore, you can buy a "random title scroll" that might give you a title which cannot be found at the title shop, it costs a bit more than a regular title scroll 50K trophies, but hey, "no risk no fun", right ?!
- Rumor has it, that cap 100 is the most balanced gameplay between races, its true, unfortunately thats not enough, we never settle at Taurus.
European players will always have an advantage over the china race if nothing changes, in our server we have doubled the passive skills.
We all thought, what makes the CH race unique ? - well its obvious...
The passive skills are the last skills on every mastery, the most popular passive skill is the passive skill of the Heuksal which adds HP, so for example if you got level 10, you're Heuksal and you've upgraded the passive skills, you should've gotten 102 HP, instead of that you will get 204 HP.
- Besides of the Pandora's Box you can get from normal uniques ( not titan ) you also get credits ( silk )! For every unique the credits reward is different. The list below shows the credits reward for each unique.
Unique Credits reward Tiger Girl 20 Cerberus 20 Captain Ivy 20 Uruchi 20 Isyutaru 25 Lord Yarkan 30 Demon Shaitan 30 Medusa 50 Soso 35 Roc 200
- "We're fans of the classics" - Who doesn't love the CTF ?
From this point forward, Capture the flag event isn't useless anymore.
No more gold tickets with no point, now you will get "Random trophies scroll" for every kill in the CTF, this scroll will give you random trophies number between 1 to 100.
Addiotionally, you will get rewarded with the scrolls aswell if your team wins the event.
If you wonder, these scroll are tradeable aswell.
- Giving you reverse scrolls and instant return scrolls when you start is redundant, you can simply transfer them between characters on the same account.
We have agreed to let you benfit the scrolls with a tiny effort, therefore the scrolls will be sold for gold or for credits (as usual), we have included them in the accessory npcs and you can get them for gold only.
Note: 850K/500K are the prices for 1 scroll only, you must remember that before you buy stack of 50.
- There's no point in opening new characters and adding them to the guild for their skill points donating, therefore we made a small shortcut for you and guilds will start level 5 instantly.
- We have decided not to limit the union chat permissions, we think it has no point and all the players should be able to have the union chat permission.
- The maximum characters on single account has changed from 4 to 8, this way you won't have to open so many accounts for all of your characters.
- Our automatic system will give credits (silk) reward to every player reaching the max level (100), in addition to the credits reward, notice will appear to the whole server with the name and the place of the character.
The table below shows exactly how much credits they get for each place.
First X character(s) Reward 1 700 Credits 2 500 Credits 3 300 Credits 4-10 200 Credits 10-25 100 Credits 25-50 50 Credits
- Seal of star items are able to get from monsters and magic pop, magic pop is one of the rewards in the job reward system!
- Seal of moon items are able to get from mobs and magic pop, magic pop is one of the rewards in the job reward system!
- You can obtain any sun item which is not weapon regularly from mobs.
- The only way to obtain seal of sun weapon is to complete the talismans series, you can collect the talismans from the trophies system, or normally from the forgotten world. On the trophies shop you can find all the talismans except the two last cards. The last two talismans are able to get from the "Random talisman scroll" ( for low chances ), or from the forgotten world.
We’ve prepared lots of automated events for our players, to make sure there’s always something to do on the server, and something to look forward to, a chance for players to shine and achieve something outside of the ordinary.
Some of these work completely on their own, and some need staff supervision which will be always provided.

- You've probably seen before a lot of new servers doing this kind of promo where they ask you to put a logo image on your signature and you will get rewards for it, but Taurus is different
This helps advertise and raise popularity of the server, that's the exact reason why you get rewarded for it, however most servers don't tend to really double check if people really put the logo in the signature or they just claim they did. For that reason we have built an automated system, the system automatically checks your profile and validates if you've really put the logo in your signature or not, the system also isn't going to reward people equally, it gives different amount of credits to different users based on their statistics.
After All, the system was made to promote the server, users with low amount of threads or comments or low activity in general, won't help with promoting that much, hence, they won't receive the same amount of credits as much as active users who has more than 10k posts for example.
- All you need to do to participate is to update your elitepvpers profile link on the profile editing page at Taurus's website, and putting the signature in your profile.
