Gameplay system:

The gameplay for Silkroad Online has been changed recently in order to make it easier for new players and also for veterans. The questing system has been improved, up to level 70 players will receive free Seal of Star items and will not drop any items or gold, however they will drop some special coins for each type of degree the player is currently at in order to buy better gear.

Unique mobs will spawn at certain spots on the map and players will have to kill the unique monster which has a rather high HP. Players can join dungeons of different difficulty level and try to finish it in order to receive goods.

Players have to grind, meaning they will have to kill monsters over and over until they finish a certain quest or in order to level up or both. Everytime the player kills a monster there is a chance he will receive a zerk ball, after getting his zerk gauge full (5 balls) the player can use it for a certain amount of time in order to deal with giants or finish a quest at a rather high speed.

Pros: Great graphics, 14 different classes with possible mix-ups, great pvp system, unique proffession system.

Cons: grind based, too many spam bots, complicated for new players, low experience rate.
