I played the game about a year ago and only reached level 30, it was and remains a grinding game and became boring in time. However, it is one of the best F2P mmorpgs I've ever played - the gameplay is decent enough and the graphics is also good, actually quite pretty.
The login queues are annoying indeed and it is sad that the developers do nothing to avoid this. Nevertheless, I would rate the game very high among the F2P games. And this is one of the games that persuaded me that if I want a good game, it has to have a subscription fee.
i have played the game for more then a year and a half, its free to play yes if you can get in people hacking people stealing everything bots are as i counted 1 day was 2 people to 98 bots ran past me they get all the good loot you pay out the bum for it and they KS you and take your loot and gold as well.you ask for help from GM game makers call them on phone no help they dont give a flip they rich from big headed noobs.was a fun game once long ago.
I have even seen - in Joymax' silkroad forum - thread titled "how to set-up your bot" (or something similar) - with instructions how to do this - and that thread was there for days (not minutes, not hours - DAYS. And probably ...is still there). This is all about "customer service"
the problem is: if you will play this game till lvl 25 - this game is great (I'm not telling about looooong connecting to game - it's obvious). Not too much bots, grind-grind-grind, but still fun.
But after lvl 30 the real "face" of this game appears: bots are averywhere. In early stage (till lvl 30) bots usually don't KS - they don't have to (cuz places aren't populated). After 30 - the real KS-war starts. Whenever you go - there are bunch/plenty/TONS of bots. 5-10 bots in the same place ks themselves. And that "places" are everywhere. When I want to do some exp: I simply have no place to go, because of bots!
This game is great - but Joymax overslept its time, and wake in situaion with probably no way out: bots, goldbots, spambots filled servers in about 70-85% capacity.
i have played this from a year or so and there are thing i will say is bad. That is that when you try to log in you must try for a LONG time and after you try to log in three times or so you will get ''disconnected from server'' and must start the game all over again.
Man thats a cop out. Free is great and grats for making it free but when you dont offer good customer service it turns out to be another game thats crappy.
Wow all you guys that are complaining that its too hard to level up need to stop crying. How do you think people leveled up at the begining of silkroad's release? Plus its not hard to get on anymore! I get on in my 1st - 3rd try because of all the bot bans they have made.
