- deckardrun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like the website's design, downloading the client now... gives me something to play after 6 months of Guild Wars. Oh yeah, and Jade Empire ROCKED.

What a load of steaming crap.... - LordofChaosIori, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This game is addictive because I just want to get to lvl 20 so I can get a job. (I'm at lvl 18) However there are serious lag isues sometimes. The graphics in this game are awesome, definetely worth checking out, you have nothing to lose anyways, it's free.
- Topaz420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1w00t!
The new server Aegea, is being opened RIGHT NOW! By the time you read this, it should be up and running. Another great thing is that IPs from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan will be blocked from this server! (Those 3 countries make up roughly 80% of current SilkRoad players)
Finally! - T8y8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Free never hurt anyone. I'll try it, maybe it'll beat out Guild Wars?
- fennec, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I guess I have no soul. The screenshots don't look that amazing. A bunch of colorful explosions that remind me of those old "magical world of disney" tv shows.
Still, I'll give it a try. It's free, right? And it can't be worse than Anarchy Online. NOTHING can be worse than Anarchy Online. - CorpT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Game wasn't made using CSS or AJAX. No digg.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Downloading now... I think I will give it a try.. I am getting a little bored of Guild Wars, so this might be cool for a while.
- BluParadox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is it just me or does Guild Wars have better graphics than this?
- markperia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wow people complain a lot about a free game. Its free people, F-R-E-E, so stop whining.
- BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I played it. It looks really good, but the gameplay is utter *****.
- mancat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Post to the site, not your blog.
No digg. - shadearg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1From the Q&A FAQ:
Q: Is Silkroad Online a pay Game?
A: Silkroad Online is FREE game FOREVER. - omnithrope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I played for a bit, and I can't get past the horrible translation.
Sorry. - deckardrun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've been trying to log on for a few days now, just to simply test the stupid thing, but their one server is always "Overburdened." Anyone actually have a chance to play this thing?
- Javi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How can anyone digg this?? I watched all the downloadable movies and it looks like utter crap. Its feces in motion! The fight sequences are a joke.
Go play Eve... - Incognito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Download is finally back up.
You have earned Incognito's elusive DIGG
CONGRATULATIONS GERRALD! - Draco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I was looking forward to this game. I tried logging in several times over the day. I have yet been able to log in at all. I am now removing the game.
- Cyborg771, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For the last time you don't need IE. There is something wrong with your browser settings or something but noone I know has had a project.
- Mist0r_Wiggles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0man they need to get more servers up and running there is only 1 and i can't get in!!!
- nocre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I seem to recall Gravity stating that their sprite-based MMO "Ragnarok Online" would be free forever, too. Well. It wasn't. That's how far my experience with Korean-based gaming companies goes. On the bright side, there are an absolute horde of free servers, easily set up, and Gravity has thus far been horrendously unsucessful in having them taken down, not for lack of threats of lawsuits (which ruled against Gravity).
Ragnarok Online 2 is actually 3D. Amazing. And it'll cost $15/month, too.
However, this is free and it's relatively pretty. I haven't tried it out, but I might. I can overlook the engrish-ridden storyline I'm sure it'll entail, but if the gameplay sucks, then it sucks period. - jasonchute, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'll give it a shot. Just quit playing WoW this past month, not that I was bored of it but I got tired of paying over and over every month to play.
Has anyone here started playing it yet? If so put in your two cents and let us know what you think of it... download taking forever :) - pox05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i hope it it is good, 515 megs is a lot of time wasted if its not. but i am willing to give it a shot, for free
- Sh|fty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i would like to have a look at it but it wont let me access there site. As i dont use IE and i dont have windows.
No Digg :( - zerolaw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0has anyone had any lukc having this work with windows 64bit?
- bytefoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Game wasn't made using CSS or AJAX. No digg."
Best. Comment. Ever.
The epitomy of digg.
Good game too ;) - .cjp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone have a torrent of the client? I'm at 8% downloaded and 3+ hours to go.
- Mist0r_Wiggles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0so long have i looked for a gmae like this AHAHAH
- MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I just downloaded and installed it and I am very impressed. For a free game that can offer better graphics than WoW, I'm simply amazed. All my friends like it too.
- alceria, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Haha, I love their screenshot page:
"Let's Feel Feeling of movement with Screen Shot!"
http://www.silkroadonline.net/dataroom/screenshot.asp - Incognito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I haven't been able to get on yet either :(
- Ravenlock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Alpha ending, beta beginning... makes me think this is gonna be one of those "free until it's not" deals, but hey, free for a little while is better than not free at all.
I doubt it'll eat much of my time away from Guild Wars and Civ IV though. It's such a good time to be a gamer. :-D - starboard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the game's website says
"Web page of Silkroad Online is optimized under below condition.
Windows Operation Systems ( Microsoft Windows 9X/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 )
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and above."
Even using Firefox, it won't let me in the site.
no digg. - k3n85, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0gonna give it a whirl for the fact that it's free and free
- aonaran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man, that ALMOST makes me want to buy a PC.
Anyone know of a good Mac MMORPG? besides WoW or EQ1?? - Heatha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The translations are very humorous...
When General Shop Clerk Jin Jin says, "Woo~*****," you know the game is only going to get better. - Parks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0you can download the client from filemirrors.com
- dandiemer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i find this odd:
Min. Specification Required Specification
CPU Pentium 3 800MHz or higher Pentium 4 1.0GHz or higher
RAM 256 MB 512 MB
VGA 3D speed over GeForce2 3D speed over GeForce4 Ti - micromause, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's down for now, you can get the client, and get that HUGE update... but it won't list the servers so you can connect once in the game. Some say in the message boards that it will be up in 6 hours.
- sayten, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Firefox worked fine for the site and downloading the client... the 'engrish' on the site is cracking my ass up this early in the A.M.
"Let's Feel Feeling of movement with Screen Shot!"
Funny stuff... - f1gm3nt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I use Firefox and just used the 'User Angent' plugin to tell them I use IE. Works fine now heh
- vokiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0PC only, Ouindoze only ( me wonders if wine can run this ), website is IE only. I understand why it is free. And that screen shot doesn't get my blood boiling. I guess that's why i'm single.
No digging - Cyborg771, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damn I hate some of you negative people. A) Don't bash it till you try it and B) If you can't give CONSTRUCTIVE criticism then don't needlessly flaunt your opinion to the world than doesn't need it.
- Mr_Famadico, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MORE SCREENSHOTS:
http://www.silkroadonline.net/dataroom/screenshot.asp - SkiBumm4Life, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0PC only? BOOOOO!
- MegaHyster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Free game, downloads @ 520K gets a digg. We'll see about the gameplay and graphics...
- WarPirate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks can be deceiving.... Or maybe not
- Darth_tater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0well, i like ree and it looks good.
worth a shot i say - Demented05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Over the past year, they've released over a dozen MMORPGs and Action games without asking for a dime from us!"
What are some of the other games? Anyone know? I'm always looking for more free games to occupy my boredom. -
