Ok, im pretty bored atm cuz Im trying to get the quiet/silent title and such. I THOUGHT there was a place were you could post off topic things here. Was there? I was pretty sure they did have one place for that. So...if this is against certain rules, please let me know GMs.
Now, this was the game I played before I found this game:

I have more pictures, but I can only post 3 at a time per post :/ . I'll post the rest after this: You may find this game interesting because of the graphics are pretty good, and it IS a free MMORPG, the game is called Silkroad Online. They get their money from their cash shop as this one does. I played this game because it was the best english languaged free mmorpg awesome graphical game I've ever played, so yeah, I was quite drawn to it by its graphics and it's animations. BUT THAT'S WHERE THE LINE IS DRAWN.
The GMs never helped anyone, ok, well like 2 a month. You could check forums and see in the spot where you report problems about anything and see REPEADILY people typing their frustrations about how the GMs wont reply back to them and take care of any of everyones problems.
Second, the leveling took FOREVER. After you hit level 7, it gets shhhlooooowwww. I played that game and knew where to train and it'd still take more than a day straight and only get to level 17.
Third, making money is HARD. Unless you buy some things from the cash shop, it is HARD. If you think making money is hard on this game, here's some advice then. Hit thirty and go to Moonlight Tomb and pick herbs. There, I said it, now I'll be expecting more peeps to ruin my herb picking party. For Silkroad though, there's NO spot to continuely make money. You jes spend spend spend. Only way to make big bucks is to gamble with the screwed up enhancing system, and finding a rare drop and selling it, that's pretty much it if your doing it legitly. Or...you could bot, which TONS and TONS do. My god, I've NEVER seen so many effing battle bots in an MMORPG.
So fourth, bots. You think this game has a ton of bots? This game outrivals this one on the botting issue lol. The spam bots are equally the same I must say, but Silkroad has a bu tt load of battle bots.
Scammers. Many many people will try to scam you and/or your account, meaning that they'll try to give you a keylogger.
You have to pay real cash in order to shout across the maps. These things called global chats.
Uh....for this one, I like it and hate it: PvP for Silkroad is crazy. When you hit level twenty, your open for fighting one another. How it works is simple and yet complex. If you leave any town, you can be attacked by anyone level twenty or above, and there is no limit on fighting level range, as this game does, so...gang ups happen as well. But they can attack you and you can attack them at ANY time they leave a town. So when they're talking smack to you right then, you can unleash your rage right then and there on him/her/them. Now to prevent unwanted random killings, they have this: If they attack you for no apparent reason and kill you, and you didnt fight back, they'll gain the 'title' of murderer and their name glows red. Wherever they go, even in towns, ANYONE can attack that person, when that murderer trains, their rate of xp and item drop rates go down a certain percentage, like 15% I think. Both PvP here and there, when someone dies, they lose nothing, but if its a murderer, they drop one item equipped. One who dealt most damage to the murderer gets the drop.
Enhancing, worst Ive EVER seen. You can't find the items to upgrade your items easy, upgrading is very very risky, it either breaks, goes up, or does nothing, it mainly breaks unless you buy items from their cash shop, and even then, it's still high, so many many people are resorted to botting to get their cash cuz they lose so much money from trying to enhance and buying all the equipment.
And lastly, the community sucks BAD. Everyone's so dang competitive and dont help noobs out, you try and tell a joke and they argue with you non stop, they argue with you for ANYTHING just to get an arguement going cuz they're re tarded, they'll KS you and then laugh, if you say something, anything, they'll KS hog you (Follow you around and KS every single fiend you attack until they're bored).
It's serious bull. So if you think you wanna play this game cuz of the great graphics and animations/cool skills, remember my words, you will quit of at least two of the things I have listed. So why am I posting these pics and talking about the game? Because I am bored as I stated, secondly I find these pics funny and cool, and third, I wanted to share my experience of that game and show that you trully can't judge a book by it's cover. I admit when I first played this game, I thought it sucked cuz it was a bit cartoony, and left, but then I gave it a shot and actually played for a while, and ever since I've never went back to any other games. This game is sweet. I really like how there's constant events going on, titles, and GMs coming on to help and have some fun.
Here's some more pictures and thanks for reading and reviewing :)
