What i can tell you is that the korean gaming community is INFESTED with botting.I know the americans run the large RMT companies we know and here about but over there it's big business even for the small guy.

TONS and i mean TONS of gibberish names "sginsigjsnjs" all botting so they can sell SRO gold to rmt buyers.If you ever look at the cost of some of the elite armour and weapons you can tell the prices have been driven up by the botting and RMT activity in this game.

What is really funny is that the majority of games over there ALL use GAME GUARD.I have no clue why they are using it as it has proven to be totally inept for several years now.IMO they are incorporating it because they have to show some kind of security system in place when dealing with credit card and paypal activity.I am sure they are using it for free so it's really handy for them.

To put it simply,if you can login to this game just play for a short time like a couple weeks then give it a rest.Do not get addicted to it,it isn't worth it.

I was on a private server, it was nice, the GMs banned bots all the time BUT the same problem there is heavy traffic so.. DCs..

Hey Guy . Take it " The Idea ".

Sro isn't free ok . It's Not free.

Pay to play.

    It's Cooooooooool  

from what i uderstand is that the korean version is played like its suppose to, your refering to the global version which is a trainwreck

kinda sucked because this is one of the few asian grinders that offers something to do other than grind for years (it has that too)

but, im long over my wasted time on SRO, and over the time wasted trying to log in only to get d/c'ed, and while i wasnt d/c'ed or trying to log in i was ksed non stop by people in some guild with a turkish flag for the logo, or by players with gjkisnhgkj as the name, or by players who just dont respond (i assume they were botters and of the few servers i tried they were fairly common)

also, its been mentioed before that they keep the server capacity cap for free players down to a very low %...youll find that after being unable to log in for an hour due to traffic that the game is mostly dead, at least dead for a server that it says is full

I used to play Silkroad online. I had gotten sick of attempting to login over and over for 30 minutes to 1 hour

everytime i wanted to play. When i finally did get into the game, It became so boring and laggy that i had to

quit because i was becoming to frustrated with the game. it has alot of potential,and they stopped the lag

and server traffic for a while by automatically banning "auto-ers", but about 2 weeks later they were back

and making logging in difficult. It is terrible that this game has those flaws because i belive that

it has alot of potential and if they permanently stop server traffic and lag, it will be the best free game.

Actually now with all the bot bans, it's very easy to log in. Takes 1-3 tries and you're in. I havn't experienced DC in a long time. And there are still bots (of course), but it's not to the point where the servers get filled up ALL the time.  Close to the afternoon, ALL servers are open w/o traffic.

Are you high?

bot bans are you kidding?i'm boting right now just because i hate sro,yes if you bot 24/7 they will get you eventually i'm just boting 4-5 hrs a day and i have no problem just start the bot and play something else, i don't even know how the effects of my skills look like.so they are doing a bad job at banning bots.
