Did you just stay in the city or did you go outside? I think you lag in the city, even if you have some kind of super computer

Or pressing the number that slot is in :) The slot with the M, you can use by pressing X, or the wheel button on yoru mouse if you ahve one. I like to have my HP pots in there, as its pretty easy to be constandly clickign it when I'm getting pwned. But, I recommend stronlgy to SAVE UP YOURSKILL POINTS!! Try to keep a 9 level difference between your highest mastery level(not total mastery), and your character level. Since leveling up in t he early levels is easy, you will gain TONS of skill points, but level slower, but it's ebtter than trying to do it when it takesa long time to level, or you will take weeks to level up. In the long run though you will have a very powerful character, with lots of spells and skills. If you need any advice on what to get, just ask, and post what weapon you use etc..

I've been hacked twice within one week a couple years ago, but that was soon after I had gotten my account back from me giving it away :? Speaking of knocking on wood... A couple months ago I was talking to my friend at lunch, and we were talking about something and downloading came into the converstaion, and he was like "you download too much stuff man you're gonna end up with a bunch of viruses and all". I was like "nah, it'll never happen", well when I got home that day, my computer wouldnt turn on :lol: I called my manufacturer's tech support, and those crooked salesmen tried to get me to buy a brand new hard drive. I jsut ended up reformatting.. I would of rather not had to lose all my stuff though :cry:

What are all your names on the game? Make sure to note any capital letters. My name on there is Stallowned. In case you haven't figured it out yet, press "u" to go to the friends/guild window, and you can add friends there. Also in teh chat, type "$Person'sName Your message" to send a private message. And flamestrike, it's pretty laggy right now, I don't know why, but it always lags a lot in the city.

Indeed :wink: Do you know anything about SP farming? I've read on the SRO forums it's a very important thing to do, but couldn't understand the explanation :? Oh, and currently, whenever I try to log in, I am disconnected from the server and the client closes :( I don't want to spend an hour typing up an explanation, so I'm gonna copy/paste something my friend wrote: And you're getting kicked out from the client, because it's full (hapens alot during weekends). It's way to prevent auto loggers from just endlessly trying to log in and lagging the servers

During the day on the weekends, it's near impossible to get in.. can take hours. Just keep trying. And about once or twice a week, they shut the servers down usually at night and "examine them", they supposedly look for hacked items, hackers, bots, etc.. During that time, if you're already on there's a chance you'll remain on, or you might get kicked off, but if you aren't on, you won't be able to get on and you'll get that message. It usually lasts all nigth (EST time zone), but yesterday they did it and it was only 30 mins. It is worth joining random parties, if they are "XP each get". For every person in the party, up to four for taht type of party, you get an experience bonus, it applies even if you are on opposite sides of the world. If four people are in my party, and I'm killing Earth Taoists for example, I might get 600 XP (estimate), and if I'm alone, I might get 550 XP(estimating again). I don't really like the share xp parties It seems to be slower, especially if not everyone is fighting at your pace, and if you're not fighting at theirs you might get kicked out for leeching off their xp. And you receive no xp bonus in that party. In all honesty, I'd rather kill white tigers all day for some fat guy, than running around the whole continent of runescape for hours and only receive 5k experience or some random noob item. I do think that they should change the name of quests to "assignments" or something

The next metal after copper is bronze As I said earlier, I suggest only doing quests, you end up doing the same thing (killing monsters), and then at the end you get a nice reward of xp, sp, gp, and sometimes a couple potions or a cool scroll. It makes leveling much faster and not as pointless. Also, if you get any items, don't sell them in the shops. Deposit them in your bank (for a fee), then at night when you're bou tto go to bed, withdraw 10 of them, set up a stall in town, put your items in, set the prices, open the stall and go to bed. Setting the prices anywhere up to 2X the store purchasing price should get you some sales. You shouldn't go 2X or more, unless it is a "seal of star/moon/sun" item which sell for lots, or if it has a high +x number, or if it's a weapon, has a high critical.

Just as long as you don't claim that anything which isn't yours, is yours, and credit the person, you should be fine.

Don't even think about going to the next city until you're 18+ :) I recommend only doing quests, until you get to a couple levels where there aren't quests. Barihawk, do you boost your stat points each you level up? I hadn't found out about it until I was about 12 or something. At the top left of your screen, where it shows you your health, magic, and level, there should be a little yellow + next to your level. Click that and you have three stat points for each level you gain, you can put any number of them into Int, or str. Putting them in int raises your total magic, and your magic attack and defence, and putting them into str raises your hp, and your physical attack and defence. http://www.silkroadonline.org has some nice quest guides for anyone interested. Adthegreat, you just need patience.. that is just a way of preventing auto-loggers. During the daytime (especially on the weekends) it gets pretty annoying trying to get in, they need to increase the server space badly. Necromagus, the horses are one use unfortunately. You buy one for 1.2k, then later you can buy a stronger (i think faster too) one for 2k once you reach level 30, and there are a couple more later on but I don't know their prices or levels yet. Once your horse dies, or you dismount it, he dissapears. I reccommend everyone to NOT use any skill points until you are about level 15-20 (skill points are that yellow bar, and number in the bottom left corner). You should get one force attack (powers up your weapon for a short time with a special ability for the element you're using), and one attack for your weapon. After that save up your skill points. Skills and skill levels start getting pretty expensive alter in the game, and you will spend hours getting enough for just one level. If you "farm" them when you're a low level, you will have a nice stash of them for later. The greater the difference between your highest mastery level (your mastery level for any weapon or force cannot surpass your combat level), and your level, the more your experience goes towards skill points(if the difference is big), or leveling (if theere is little to no difference) ^That process is kind of complicated to explain, there are better explanations on various silkroad sites.. if you want me to try to explain it better, I'll give it another shot.

Bow users are noobs... seriously, I wish they could take bows out of the game :x

I heard (but I could be completely wrong as it doesn't make much sense) that the Koreans have to pay for the game, but they also have the full version now while everyone else is still missing a lot of stuff. Don't take my word for it.. it's hat I heard.. might be true.. but I somehow doubt it.

I don't know.. I hope not.. This is on the website Free to play forever.. I guess we'll just have to wait and see :)

Are you sick of Runescape? Are you tired of those pathetic graphics, those horrible sounds? Are you tired of wasting five dollars a month for such a pathetic game? Or 10+ dollars a month for a better game? You should check out Silkroad Online. http://www.silkroadonline.net Silkroad is a game that you download, (about 500 MB, and when installed about 1 Gig). It is set in the time of ancient China, when there was the silk road between Europe and China (search for it on google if you want to learn more). It is mostly a fighting game, and once you reach level 20, you can become a trader, hunter, or a thief. As a trader, you buy specialty goods in one town, and you travel on horseback to another town and sell those goods for a huge profit, while avoiding thieves (player and NPC), and monsters along the way. As a hunter, your job is to protect the traders, hunt thieves, player and NPC, and "wanteds". You become wanted if you forecfully attack a player not performing a "job" (thief hunter trader) As a thief, your job is to kill hunters, and traders, mostkly traders, steal their goods and sell them yourself. In Silkroad, there are many features that other games, especially runescape lack. Clan support- Pay 500k to the guild master, and you can start your guild. At a level one guild, you can only have 15 members. Once your guild gets enough guild points, you can pay 3 mil to the guild master, and your guild is advanced to level two. At level two you have more privileges. The same goes on for up to level four I think, I also don't know how much it costs to level up after two. Seperate chats- There are seperate chat windows- "all " chat displays everything "party" chat displays only your party's messages and private messages "guild" chat displays only your guild (clan)'s messages and private messages "union" chat displays chat between allied clans When you die, you lose experience, not items (unless you are a wanted, then you also lose one random item) Look, I'm not ognna sit here all night and type up all of the game's features. You go on the site and check it out for yourself. It is very fun. The only downsides to the game, are that once you make a character on a server, you can't switch servers. For example, my character is on the server "Troy", while on Troy I can't communicate with anybody on the other servers, and if I wanted to play on the other ones, I would have to make a enw character just for those. Another downside is that the game is Korean and still in beta, the english is not very good.. but it is still understandable. There are also quite a few bugs, but they aren't MAJOR bugs... just small things, such as quest names and objectives not showing up, actually that's all the bugs I can think of. I suggest you get with some of your friends first if you want to start playing, so that you all make an account on the same server. If anyone wants to add me in the game my in game nick is "Stallowned", I'm on the world Troy. 8)

There was one at my school today. Heh.. It was in 3rd period english, and then intercom came on, and our principal said something like "Teachers, and students, we have a code blue, we're going to ring the fire alarm now" So we all evacuated outside, about 50 feet from the school, and then the pushed us back another 50 or so feet, we stood there for a good half hour, of course there was nothing. And on Monday, there was a fire in a school bathroom. It was in fifth period, and the fire alarm came on. We all waited in the classroom since the fire alarm goes off like every day because "they are having problems with it" or "testing it" or some other stupid excuses. Well anyway, my teacher went outside to check it out, and the hallway was full of smoke and he said someone had lit a fire in the bathroom. The whole school evacuated and had to wait outside in the heat for like an hour. A news helicopter came, about a zillion fire trucks, it was pathetic, all htat for a little fire in a trash can. Another funny thing is that the next day, there were garden hoses near that bathroom, and it was completely soaked... I have such a girly school :roll: This has been the most "exciting" time of my high school life. I swear, it's been over three and a half years, and I haven't been on a single field trip sort of thing.

I got 2 whip drops, in 2 minutes a couple nights ago :D

:PEver heard of "quality over quantity"? :? yea and i have plenty of both :D Quantity, yes, quality, no. :?

This is for sure the stupidest idea I've ever heard, and that says a lot. :?

Because, they are trying to take over everything, google is like teh wal-mart of the internet. Besides, there's so much hype about google, I've just about had enough of hearing about it ;)

Google is catching on the momentum, and doing too much at once. At the same time, they're kind of forgetting what actually made them big- just plain ol' search. Hopefully the Google bubble will burst, soon. :)

But some people have no clue about this politicking stuff and would end up not having a clue as to why they're voting for who they're voting for ^.^ (like me) Yeah, a lot of people complain about peolpe not voting, but what they seem to forget is that most of them, have no clue what goes on in politics other than a couple 30 second headlines they see on the news. It is better not to vote, than cast a vote which can impact the world, and you don't really know what your stance is.

I try to always carry one along with me when I'm fighting monsters. The potential damage done by each special is higher than a regular whip hit 8)

I always see people having cats at the abyssal demons. Wherever it is, it pisses me off, I don't know why.. What's the point of walking around with that stupid cat following you everywhere :?

Yay my name automatically changed now :) 8)

twg :roll: Find out what the letters mean and you get teh prize. :)

thats what i was thinking but i think he ment that he did that which is very odd it dosnt fix it. :? Yes and besides, you have to have both fields (first and last) filled out :( Devil, I just checked out the forums. It seems a lot of other people are having the same problem, and have tried the same thing as me, uninstalling, changing name, etc. And some of them have said that there is a delay, and their name automatically changed after a couple of days. I hope that it's true. Thanks for the links 8)
