SWG Tales

We've been searching all day...

we found a pretty unknown amazing one.


www.silkroadonline.net


its a korean based game, but everything is in english (though fairly broken but funny) however its a GORGEOUS game, fun combat very similar to current SWG, and is in open beta...join us

That looks like a Lineage 2 ripoff, just like KAL Online.

You hush. Silk Road is my new SWG

Well it's pretty but how does it play?

Movement is still a little choppy in beta, but some of that is getting over SWG movement style.

The combat is fairly simple at the low end, but it has EXPANSIVE character sheets and watching higher level players fight is insane.

Also, it has open PvP once you get past level 20 (we don't know how many levels there are) and people are marked as PKers and there are actual jobs you can take up.

big surprise: at lev 20 you can opt to trade along the (you guessed it) silk road.


There are three "jobs"


Trader
Hunter
Thief


Its a deadly circle: Traders can make money but...once again you guessed it...trading along the silk road. A thief can get a mission to rob them , and hunters get jobs to hunt down criminals, both theives and murderers. What's a murderer? Well i'm glad you asked...by simply holding "ALT" you can turn off the friendly mode of combat and jump bad on some bitch who just called you a kacknoob. If you don't have a job asking you to interact with him, you get labled a murderer. THe penalty? You cannot take jobs until enough time has passed, you pay your fee to the hunter guild, or a hunter claims your life as a bounty.


The game is hot looking for a beta....

Oh and one more thing...

Its free...yeah...forever

I signed up to try this but the download for the client is 404 not found. So I guess I will wait and see if they fix that.

use one of the 4 mirrors, i got a 404 with the main link, but the mirrors worked fine, if you still have trouble, i can send the file to you via aim


PS: This is actually Alpha not beta, that being known I am now even more impressed with how far along this game is..

Alpha closes on the 8th, closed beta opens on the 9th

This is the only d/l page I could find, no mirrors on it.

If you could post a link to where I can find those mirrors, I'll grab it that way.

Jabe

just hop on aim jabe, i guess they took down the mirrors since alpha is wrapping up

Ok, I will hop on a bit later - I gotta do some work now.

Jabe

link working for me jabe...

Indeed it is now.. Thanks.

The best part of this game is when I see this in the "Main Fetures" portion of their website:

06
The presentation of splendid world can be directly shown in this game, like the monster who come out in the swung grass, the burglars who come running with kicking up a dust, a blinding forest with a smoke, a dangerous donjon full of the machine equipment and the natural environment like total eclipse and lunar eclipse.


lol, i love Korean games

If anybody knows Korean, please translate and tell me what button to click.
