BioAlien
Sun, 11-06-2005, 01:18 PM
i had a problem too (the game just crash for no damn reason)

and i made some research on they BBS and i found this:
Goto Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel.
Locate the folder: Regional & Language.
Click on the Language Tab and uncheck the Install files for East Asian languages box.
Restart your computer an the problem should be fixed.

after i did thats it worked just fine, so maybe you should try too

dark maginn
Sun, 11-06-2005, 01:19 PM

The game is exactly like Lineage II, only free.

And it's pretty damn good considering the fact that it is free, if you ask me. Just not good enough to keep me interested.

I played this game when it first came out. It was fun, but so many people play it now making it hard to get on. And half the people on are AFK selling stuff. It's a pretty good game considering its free.

aznroyale
Tue, 11-08-2005, 05:53 PM
my character might be gonna delete cause i was a Alpha tester, i think all beta testers get to keep their characters.

BioAlien
Tue, 11-08-2005, 06:51 PM
beta tester? if this was the alpha test(alpha generally come before beta, right?), how can they have a beta test character already? since the close beta test start Nov. 9

and how come when i click on the logon thing then a protect hacking thing comes up and after that i cant get in lol

BioAlien
Sat, 11-12-2005, 06:50 PM
lol thats is called GameGuard, im used to it since i played Gunbound, Maple Story, Rakion, its posible thats your firewall block the acces to internet so you can just let it acces internet

and the game, its cool... but i just don't know how to use the skill...

dark maginn
Sat, 11-12-2005, 07:11 PM
lol

so ur saying i need to turn off my firewall to play?

BioAlien
Sat, 11-12-2005, 07:42 PM
uh try and if it work well its your firewall fault lol

dark maginn
Sat, 11-12-2005, 08:06 PM

Sat, 11-12-2005, 08:31 PM
uhh i dont think its the firewall

dark maginn
Sun, 11-13-2005, 12:09 AM
hmm what do u think it is..?

BioAlien
Sun, 11-13-2005, 12:17 AM
well maybe we should discuss thats matter in the right topic, no? because this topic is for Silkroad Online, not Martial Heroes Online

have you try to do this?:
1. Go to your Computer Settings
2. Go into your Control Panel
3. Regional/Language Settings
4. Language Tab
5. UNCHECK East Asian Language
6. Restart Computer
7. Play Game

because it was needed in order to play silkroad, so maybe its the same for Martial Heroes

lols im presuming you cant pick up stuff while in berserk XD, if there weaker then you or you got an advantage go for it lol, if someone stole my items id go insane and id start attacking him even if he was stronger XD lol ( im presuming pking isn't against the rules because they wouldn't implant it then >=)

aznroyale
Wed, 11-16-2005, 09:16 PM
when you go breserk you can pick up stuff, but i didnt cause Breserk only last for a short period of time and i dont want to waste it. you move and kill faster. i think last for a min for 1 min and 30 sec

Shuurai
Thu, 11-17-2005, 07:10 AM
Being a Thief is great fun but you can only do it effectively in groups. Traders with a one star difficulty dont carry much and you cant attack them so Traders tend not to hire Hunters in those circumstances. Everything above a one star difficulty can be attacked and Traders tend to hire Hunters which you will find difficult killing the Hunter, Trader and the transport on your own. If you do manage to rob a trader you will need to use your own transport to take it back to Thief Town as you cant sell stolen goods at the normal shop. The best thing about being a Thief are the badass clothes you really stand out and there's nothing more intimidating than a group of 5 Thieves waiting for you at the ferry.My level 20 was Zanza but i've started again and my new character is lv 5 and named Shuurai add me to your friends list

so when lvl 20 i want my job to be thief i get a black suit?

Shuurai
Sat, 11-19-2005, 03:06 PM
No, You have to buy a black suit from Thief town. To get to Thief town you need to talk to the female npc in the south western part of jangan she will transport you there for 2k. Once there you can buy the suit from the Thief guild shop and also scrolls so you can return there from anywhere.

KoKo37
Mon, 11-28-2005, 02:24 PM
heres a tip even if its full, Just keep on clicking connect, you get disc and game closes, go back fast and keep clicking connect, if you keep doing it your bound to get in when someone leaves, so far i never had to try for over 2 and a half minutes XD lol, also you can pick more then one job however, if you gain exp as a thief, then you gain exp as a hunter your thief exp will go down, so its kinda better to stick with one job, less you want two weak ones XD lol

hey guys.. i've been reading wut u guys wrote.. and i haev a question

is the problem of "cannot log in cuz of too many ppl in the server" still a problem??

EDIT: oh another question... wut classes are there?
i see u guys takling bout traders, theives, and hunters, but is there anything else??
ive checked the site.. but it seems to be talking bout... specific ppl not sure if tahtz thet class tho..

you can find info about the game here XD, check my stiky on "General Guide to Silk Road" on strategys XD
Silk Road Forums XD (http://forums.silkroadonline.org/)

ok for the first question yes the servers are overburdend, sept for troy atm XD, if it is full just keep clicking logging in, if you get disc and it exits the game, just go back and keep logging in some more XD, should never take ne longer then 2 mins to get in >: ) lol

yes there are only three jobs atm XD, though the games still quite fun >: ), also jobs have nothing to do with spells, there jusdt waht your going to be doing ( stealing, trading, protecting etc.) but dun worry theres still a lot of skills XD

also im lvl 24 atm on troy the 2nd night atm XD, hoping to get to lvl 25 by end of day XD

uh yea i still play this game. there's still some lag off and on but since they do frequent server inspections and updates it is actually playable. yesterday the lag was real bad though since they started the easter event but anyhow i'm play on the server Aege. in game name Psychopath

My friend turned me on to it a couple weeks agao. I know what you mean about the Easter event screwing up everything, but I've gotten offers for 10k and egg. I play on 2 Servers right now, Troy as Sazaku and Oasis as Phoenix20578

I don't understand how people that are not poor teenagers play this game for more than 10 minutes.

As free mmorpgs go this is the best, but that doesn't really mean it's any good

wow it's been a while since this thread got bumped. Anyhow, if you would've posted that last year or some time before that i would've been happy to send you gold, items or whatever. back when they updated and added europe, the game became even more overrun with bots i started giving away loads of items for free...tho that doesn't help you now.

quite true. i enjoyed it for a while, hated the mindless grind at higher levels tho. i never bought any of the silk items either. i know a few ppl that did and complained a lot when they encountered the same problems competing with bots, and the dreaded crowded server msg that gets you most of the time.
