review of retro sro after playing here for 2 weeks:
short version:
- corrupt GM who cannot speak english
- inflated prices most likely because he is giving away an insane amount of silks for egy players
- insane pay2win
- he was planning to reopen a long-time ago and the recent OVH-fire is the perfect excuse for him
- 99% egy players who most likely play here just cuz they get free stuff from the GM
Lets go point by point:
1, corrupt GM
website prices are not accurate at all, if you send to his private paypal you will get extra silks. On top of this if you buy large amount he will give you a private deal.
also the GM cannot speak english and there is literally no support around to answer your questions
2,
inflated prices + insane pay2win
an average LA+14 set (which is endgear and tradeable) is around 60k silk, +14 EU accessory set 90k silk, +14 egy EU shield 60k silks
keep in mind on the server there is approximately 100 maxed chars. So how come the prices are so high? Well its either one of two things: either there is a lot of crazy donators who regularly donate 1k$$+ or the GM is giving away free silk to players.
Some screenshots of EGY people who are well known to never donate in sro:
sure, they cant even speak proper english but have around 2500$ worth of silk on their accounts, seems legit LMAO
and yes you can donate for a maxed char (around 1k$) you dont have to farm shit if you dont want to all endgame items are tradeable
3, he was planning to reopen and the recent OVH fire is the perfect excuse for him:
not much to add to this point it was his plan all along to open a 2nd server
4, 99% arab/egy players
there is pretty much no international guild on this server besides evo
One last thing, as you might have seen Savi claims he does not have any backup, non whatsoever.
When asked how he is going to refund someone who just donated 800$ last week he answers in extremely vague fashion pretty much stating that its your problem. Nevermind he just promised a week ago that the server wont close at least for 3 years.
