Wednesday -Also did I mention we have a server?.EDIT.I decided to make a quick overview video using the info in this thread for anyone that can't be bothered to read all of this.See it here:So after not playing since way back when European characters were only just added and you'd spend more time tactically pressing enter in the hopes you'd log in to the game before having to restart (it's a MMO meme at this point), I've come back to this nostalgic gem to see what I would find (and I was surprised). To save anyone looking to get back into the game a few days of slogging through private servers and retail and Elitepvpers information, here it is, all in one place.TL;DR - Active Private Server Links & Overview at the BottomOverall returning impression:.
Trade runs, job wars, CTF and Fortress Wars are still probably the most fun I've ever had in an MMO. (With the exception of flying on a broom in Flyff for the first time). Grinding is oddly enjoyable, but it still unbearable on retail and most 1x rate private servers. The game holds up alright compared to modern free MMOs. Combining 'classes' in a way you want is definitely enjoyable and a big selling point to me who can never seem to pick one thing. Bots are common on retail and low XP rate private servers, but some private servers ban them.Retail (International Silkroad & Silkroad R):.
11 iSro servers (EU&US). 1x China character only server (Xian). Varying level caps 130 - 140.
1 Sro-R server (EU). Slightly higher xp & sp rates. Servers full almost 24/7, but at least there is a queue now.
Still an absolute grind fest. Botting is pretty much the norm, as well as running multiple instances of the game at once.
Still borderline pay 2 play / pay 2 win. (It always will be tbh).Private Servers: (List of active ones as of 26/02/20 at the bottom). Surprising number of them, with many being surprisingly active! (I'd say around 15k-20k active players across all the major ones I've found). Each one varies hugely, as the Silkroad community never really decided what it wanted from the game (other than Job war). Most have a life cycle of about 6 months to 1 year before a new one opens and people migrate. Many have hyper-inflated rates (100x - 300x SP/XP) or start you at max level.
These typically have the most custom skills/items/events etc. Made so you can get stuck in real fast. Bots still used, and often endorsed, but not as common as retail. Some have slightly inflated rates (x5 - x30 SP/XP). These servers I found to be the most 'nostalgia' like, but give you a few helping hands like some free SoS / +6 items, 1 million starting SP so you can focus on XP grinding, 1 million starting gold. Often have rules against botting. A few are super nostalgia style, with 1x - 2x rates and just a few items to help you out a little.
Tend to have tight-knit communities. Often have rules against botting.Active private servers I have found (I am not promoting):. (previously iSro back in the day) - 140 Cap - (x100 XP/SP, x20 Drop rate) - 1100 to 1400 active players. Customised. 90 Cap - (3x XP/SP, drop rate feels higher?) - 500 to 800 active players. A bit on the low side for player count, BUT, they are heavily opposed to botting and the community is tight.
130 Cap - (150x XP/SP, 10x drop) - 1700 to 1900 active players. Starts you at cap. Heavily customised.
90 Cap - (Nostalgia 1x rates) - 3500 active players. Botting permitted.
Server full very often. Give you a few nice starter items that make the levelling process less intimidating. (27.02.20, server updated to 4000 player capacity!). I'm really enjoying this server for my euro character. Lots of active levelling players that are friendly despite the usual Turkish-English language barrier. 80 Cap Chinese Race Only - (15x rates) - 1900 to 2200 active players.
I've personally found this one most fun for the pre-european character nostalgia. (Set to open 13.03.20) - 100 cap - (30x rate on release) - 8500 server cap. I've been monitoring their large discord and Facebook community, it looks like the release is going to be massive. Anyone looking for that over-crowded starting area, absolute PvE massacre, then this will probably be your poison! (Potentially might have pay2win aspects, we'll have to see). Open Beta from 28.02.20 until release date. Beta will have inflated rates / insta-cap so they can test PVP functions & server stability.
3x servers, 80cap, 110 cap, 125 cap - Varying XP rates - 6500 players, 3500 players, 300 players depending on the server. Introduced to me by my Turkish followers on YT. I haven't played this one much as the ping was too much for me being in the UK.
If you are in East-Europe / Turkey, this one is definitely a good choice as it appeared pretty active!If anyone else feels I've missed any servers of note from the list, feel free to comment with the server info and player count.In all honesty, I'm shocked this still has such a huge player base all things considered. Have other MMOs really not hit the same mark, or are we just homesick haha?Word has it that Ashes of Creation will have a similar job system to SRO, so let's hope that it actually comes out and we can relive the nostalgia (without Joymax haha).PEACE!.continues grinding. I messed around on the super high rate servers / insta-cap for a bit. Defo got a better feel for what classes I would actually enjoy at cap (rather than being like 'OOOH WIZARD SHINY' which is hard to resist).
But the satisfaction of putting -some- effort into levelling is part of the fun for me.For my CN character - Eagle Online. The xp rates are reasonable and the community is all about massive trade runs, which I vibe with. + no Euro chars to 1 hit you lmao.For my EU character - It's a toss-up between Origin & Royale. If I find I can't ever log in to Royale then Origin.I'll also give Electus a go when it comes out. Their social media is insanely active, but we'll have to see how popular the server will be on release. Im hoping they stick with 30x XP rate and don't go into the 100x.
It's just all reward and no satisfaction. So, its actually called Electus Online lol:D anyway, been playing there for couple of seasons, but intermittently. Key points:1, Insanely active, on grand opening you can expect 10k players to be online again easy. Actually the server was made 8500 cap like couple of seasons ago, for stability reasons, and they had to kick some goldbots cuz you couldnt get in after the server was online for weeks already. Usually the playerpool fades over 6-8 months to a base of 500-1k players.2, It is the most fun, and most active server I have ever played on (at least the first 6 months) by a large margin. Events running every hour, huge jobwars all the time, usually you can see 4 pages of parties on party matching system.3, hardcore pay2win. Some people donate 5-10k a season, and they are usually rank 1 until they get bored and leave the server.
If you want to have a good time playing, where you are at least somewhat strong, be prepared to donate at least couple hundred bucks. Non-donators can get very strong as well, in time, I would say like 6 months after server opened if you played consistently 1-2hours a day at least, you can rival donators with your sets. Unfortunately, as I said, most of the fun is in the first 6 months. Edit: Forgot to mention, if you check electus website, they promised to make this new season way more play2win. So lets see how it goes!Personally I will probably play the next season from 03.13 just cuz its so much fun and I dont mind burning some money.
But its far from ideal, if you look at it in another perspective, you can spend 500-1k$ for 6 months gameplay. So I might try other mmo-s as well. Depends on what you're looking for.I think Eagle Online that i listed has the nicest balance of XP rate and benefits for newbies.
It starts off fast but tapers off somewhere around level 30. By 60 it will probably feel like a normal MMO grind, but not the 0.01% xp per kill kind of old school grind.If you just want to jump in and be max level in like 8 hours of playing and get to PVP then Legion or Pure SRO.If you want the OG experience without having to deal with the freemium shadyness of the retail version, then Origin Online or Silkroad Royale, with Royale being the more populated and Origin being the more tight-knit community.
