I know it's kinda lame, but I found a new game a couple of my friends from school are playing, and I wanted to know if anyone wanted to at least try it out with me? the game is called Silkroad, and it seems pretty fun. www.silkroadonline.net/. My name in there is griffman8, but I haven't yet figured out how to whisper or anything like that.. so if you plan on playing with me post here and we'll figure it out ps.. the game is free, but it is kind of large to download.. there are things that you can pay for, but I'm not going to...

Cant say I can play it right now since I do not like to be playing two RPG games at once, but it does look interesting, and being free helps out a bunch too. In about two weeks I should be done with my current game, so I will look into it more then.

Ummm I couldn't find anywhere on that site what the system requirements and required space is... did I miss it? Or if you have already installed it could you at least tell me how much room it takes up? Thanks Griff

The download is 500 mb or so, but after you delete that and get it installed it's about the same size as sacred plus, about 1,300 mb.

I downloaded it and the trailer for it and I will leave them lying around so I remember to play it later. As for the requirements I can guarantee that comp Alucard made for you all a while back will be fine, but if you are looking to play it on another computer then this is what the site says it needs and the requirements are suprisingly low. I almost could not find it again myself. Minimum is.... Pentium 3 800 Mhz CPU 256 Megs of RAM GeForce 2 Era Videocard They want only a little better at... 1 Ghz Pentium 4 512 megs of RAM GeForce 4 Era Videocard Or if you want all the stuff the info is... www.silkroadonline.net/guide/sy_setinfo.asp

NP, they liked to hide it for some reason in an area that logically does not make sense for it to be under, but oh well.
Griffman, you had said that things in the game you pay for, but I am confused on it. Like on the site for it I can see a mall and I can choose to use a credit card and whatnot to pay, but when you look at the items the prices are in silk? So do you find the silk in the game as money and you can use it in the mall as well, or is silk only gotten when you buy it in exchange for real money?

So far I have a level 6 and a level 5 guy, and I have not found ANY silk. I think you can buy it for gold in the game, but I'll have to do some more research. You may get silk on the higher level monsters too, I can't hardly kill anything yet...
So far what I have found is each seperate server has a new account for you. I started on Troy, got to level 5... but then it was full when I came back online so I had to join another one (Eldorado). The Eldorado server seems to run better on my computer, so I think I'm going to stick there unless you guys choose a different one. I had to start a new character there to play... and I got it to level 6 in about 2 hours. It's really slowing down, it seems like it would be a good game to party in. I tried to go to the next spot to level and I was getting owned so I came back, but I'm sure if I had some teammates I could have been ok.
It's an MMORPG if anyone was wondering...

I was thinking that the silk was the money of the game, not gold, so you probably have to buy the silk, or it will just be ultra rare in game, so like you might get 10 of it from beating the campaign.

Gold is definitely the most common form of currency. When you are in the first town there are a bunch of people that set up stalls with items they have found, and none of them charge silk, they all charge gold. I think silk gets you the more rare items in specialty shops, and at the item mall.
You could be right about completing the campaign, but the quests are kind of long so I have only completed 2 so far. Right now they are running a Thanksgiving "easter egg" thing. Jewel cases drop when you fight monsters and you bring it back to the Thanksgiving lady and talk to her about Thanksgiving day. I believe you could get silk from there too, I've gotten some pretty good stuff so far... Return scrolls were the most common, but in stalls they can cost upwards of 15k gold..
The Thanksgiving Day thing was accidentally not removed I believe... it says in the game that it was supposed to have ended on 11/28, but maybe it will just last until Christmas... you never know.

Just an update:
I started a different character, and got it to level 9. Still haven't found any silk out of 3 characters, lvl 6, 5, and 9. I've also completed a bunch more quests, and haven't gotten silk as a reward. I haven't investigated the item mall anymore than before.. I will do that next time I get on.

My wife started playing the game tonight, if she likes it I figure it will be more incentive for me to try it out sooner since I would not want her character to be so much higher then mine that I would die every other battle.

What's her account and character name? Also, what server did she start them on? I can try to find her and give her some stuff if I have some for her...

her name is SarahNicole, and right now she is on the Troy server, yesterday she was on the Sparta one, so she just kind of randomly goes to whichever.
