is this a legit game or is it just a lineage 2 pirated shard?
seems pretty good

It's a seperate free game, not an L2 private server. I know a lot of people that think this game is the greatest free2play game ever made, but I personally can't stand it.
Feel free to try it, you have nothing to lose.

Well, in my opinion, the controls are really awkward. I like playing MMORPG's EQ and WoW style, behind the characters back. This game does that very poorly. I guess if you like point and click style you won't mind it as much.
Also, I have yet to see this complaint which is hard to believe. The game is translated terribly. Every other word is mispelled, text is going out of buttons and overlapping other text. I know its free, but if your going to translate something at least spell the words right.
And, to finish this off, the game is pretty buggy. It seems pretty hit or miss though. I see a lot of people having trouble getting the game to launch though it worked fine for me. However the buttons on the main menu and character creation didn't have any text in them, I had to guess which was "Ok" and which would send me back.
Oh, and I forgot this one... the game ran ok on my PC, until I started moving around. When I did I started getting massive PC lag spikes until the area was loaded. It bothered me, but I am not sure if it's an every time problem.
Yep its still really buggys, well i guess u dont read much do you.This game is still in beta and only came out oct. 1st what did u expect.I don;t find this game laggy at all as long as you close all or most of your windows and not dling anything it should work fine.
I realize its a beta, I am just saying why I didn't like it. I am not by any means saying they won't like it. Like I said, I know a ton of people that love the game.
Feel free to try it.
Even for a beta, games should not have interface problems like the ones Silk Road has like no text on some of the buttons, experience going right over the experience text essentially making it impossible to see your experience. I can understand translation errors, but not errors major like those.
Even so, the game is alright, it's another Korean MMO really, skill system is pretty interesting though, don't see that in Korean MMOs. Hopefully in the later versions they'll allow you to pick a race other than the chinese, like the Romans or the middle east like in their background story.
I have been playing for a couple days now and I thinks its great. Game controls are a little awkward but you get used to them.
I been beta testing CoV unitl I came across this and now im not even going to buy CoV. Why rehash same old Coh grind with new areas when I can play something thats fun and fresh. Give it a try I'm sure you will like it
reminds me of the kessen series, know the games? mayby this one: dynasty warriors?
anyway, how big is the download? im interested

481 MB, unfortunately your download speed won't be incredibly fast. I averaged about 130KBs with flashget. Keep in mind I can probably reach a peek download speed of 1 MBs with a download accelerator.
Not yet, don't know when they plan to implement one.
Yes, yes actually there is: http://www.silkroadtavern.com
Enjoy
got some questions (its hard to find info on site):
hope to get some info soon

this game is ok, and graphics are pretty decent but i dont understand the uproar. it is nothing new at all, and there is very limited items and things to do, and the grind is terrible even in the teens. also, in true korean mmorpg fashion there are player stores cluttering up the town, which i dont like personally.
anyway to answer your questions.
-there are no classes its skill based. which is cool, but what sucks(to me) is you are melee or archer, thats it. you have option of magic attacks but they dont make you a mage how most people thing, they infuse your weapon and stuff like that to enhance your melee.
-the world ..its big enough you wont see it all because its so trying to lvl, but agro aside you could run through it pretty fast compared to most games.
-lvl cap i would guess is 100 because i saw a korean map with mobs and lvl's and they go up to 100
-only fighting. there are some quests but they are all kill 30/40/50 type quests but they do help you lvl. they are also bugged once you get past lvl 10 and sometimes the npc's wont give them to you
-items, its like most korean mmorpg where you get to wear certain items at certain lvl's. there are some variations of them in between you can get as drops or buy from other players. not very many at all.
-population is pretty high. i woke up at 3 am the other day and it was a full server, i coudlnt even get on the first couple times i tried. the timing of it leads to believe its TONS of eastern asia play this game. it also is crowded at u.s. times too so alot of americans and europeans play too i would assume.
anyway i just dont get the attraction personally but give
it a shot, seems alot of people like it(free)
thank you fulmanfu, you helped me out great ^^

I'm not sure, but I believe that the level cap is 80. See this table.
