I am speechless. Not only is the job system ultimatively bad and boring but the monetization on this server is absolutely scummy. There are paywalls everywhere!
You can't participate in the job system without premium.
You can't enter their dungeons without premium.
Heck, you can't even teleport to certain regions without premium.
I would understand it if they advertised it like this or if they informed players beforehand but they don't tell you until you are already fcked.
I strongly recommend anyone not to play on this Electus or any future Prox projects.
At this point, these servers are not more than money making schemes anymore. There is no fun to be found here, you're essentially a client and nothing more.
Your criticism will not be accepted and instead the responsible people will act defensively and stubborn.
Prox, I know you will not like to read this and might be confused why I write this as we worked together here and there in the past but deep down you'll know that I'm speaking the truth.

As always, any kind of critism is welcome, this is a community server and we have a #poll channel on Discord posting polls wherever possible. We also got 6 assistants replying every single comment, complaint, questions any hour, minute, second of the day (really). Whole team takes notes of player feedback for admin discussion call and us admins brainstorm ideas to better the gameplay and maximize the competition in every metric.
You're simply not aware of the fact why they require premium to begin with? Your comment also makes it look like without paying money you cannot even play the game, that's is completely wrong and let me prove it below.
Before I proceed, I need you to know that one of the reasons why Electus project had 9 years of consistency is because we comprehend that what makes Silkroad Silkroad is the server economy. Once it's broken, there's no reason to play. In other words, people compete for the highest value item since day 1 and as long as economy stays strong, server stays competitive and full of joy for everyone. So, let's begin.
1. Electus is heavily activity based server, we dislike botting and afk-ing. So the biggest and best rewards are always given through quests, achievements and activities. Now, think about PC Limit 2, IP Limit 4. If we were to reward ''not just 1 main char'' but all the 4 chars most people have, economy would suffer so quicker.
2. Now, you limited ''good rewards'' to main accounts only and you're not rewarding goldbots and creating inflation, good, that's a pro. How about cons? One of the cons are unfortunately people like you from 2015-2020 range showing up out of the blue, logging in, finding out ''OH PREM REQUIRE? That's what we didn't do back in half a decade ago, that's BS.'' Well, I don't blame you for this but hear this.
3. 1 Premium costs $2.5 to 3$. A latte price. Won't really play it? Ok. Not a problem, see what offer to people like you:
4. Only by botting for ''2 days''. Yes, 2 freaking days. You can farm enough elixir and stone and gold to buy a premium. Look, community answered.
5. You got yourself free premium without paying a penny and now you can complete daily quests and achievements to collect valuable items and sell them for silk. Let's say you are to lowest player in the server right now (9dg sos npc set) with premium only. If you play active and smart you can farm ''4'' dungeon sos box in 2 days. This alone is 500 silks. So far you're 4 days into server and you got 900 silks farmed. As your items will get better, you'll play competitive to farm more rewards in events and obtain more silk per day. If you're lucky, you may as well open a sos box and get a spear on sunday night and sell it maybe for 30-45k silk.
6. There is also a total of $20,000 Prize Pool. Right next to download button on the website. Click on it and check how much we actually giveaway. Just posted another razer gaming mouse, keyboard, headset giveaway on Instagram. 1.3 Million (Yes, literally million) free silks are distributed to players through giveaways and in-game activity/drops per 2 months. We're offering free t-shirt shipped to your door if you are a committed player and stick to server for 2.5 months. You literally get free premium for the 3rd month. You get a free beginner pack in new season (We release new server every 6 months and provide 1 year uptime guarantee for any server even if no players left in it). Please tell me what else can a pSRO server in 2024 can possibly do for you, Castiel?
7. So far I'm hoping you think we are ''giving'' enough. Let's talk about server administration perspective. We got a 10 man army working on Electus. We don't have that ''supporter player'' system like other psro servers, we got 6 assistants hired doing this as a full time job providing 24/7 live support any time of the year. Admins are 15 to 20 hours online, I personally reply every single player on Discord public chat, DM's open to everyone and literally any player out of 10,000 online can DM me and talk to me in person, other admins too. We're doing this as full time job.
8. We use the best resources to provide maximum stability and security. There has never been a dataleak or any kind of security breach in 9 years because everything under this roof is managed professionally.
9. Now, do you choose an ice latte or a premium in Electus Server for best pSRO experience?
