Old map video

The video I promissed on the last post, sorry for the delay, and the lack of background music, might be boring.

Old clients - Censorship!

So, a friend called Schickl has been working on an emulator for the old cilent from 2004, the SRO_OPEN.EXE, and I had a tour around the old maps and so. I will post a video about it tomorrow, but for now I will show you how Joymax adapted Silkroad from a half-adult game to a all-ages game.
I'm not sure if current kSRO version has it, but all the other clients have a nude patch, not only on the characters, we all have seen screens of the naked characters around since a while ago, but NPC's and monsters.

Here you are an small recopilation of the differences I've seen around the old client.
















The question is, you like more the old or the new models?

Joymax is preparing an old school server

As we all know, both the international version and the korean version of Silkroad are losing players. The experiment with Silkroad-R didn't go as Joymax expected, and surprisingly, they listened to players, and they announced already that they are preparing an old school server, independent from their already existing servers and versions.
The first old school server will be launched for the Korea region, and according to the announcement few months later the international version will come out.
Some of the details given about this new old-school server are:

- Based on 80 cap
- Old job system
- Consigment system disabled, Stall Network added-back
- European region and race disabled

More details should be announced on the upcoming weeks.
