Wandering Down the
Silkroad
The Ten Ton Hammer staff recently had the opportunity to take a guided
tour through the historically based MMORPG, Silkroad Online. In an
extensive write-up, Cody "Micajah" Bye gives us his first impression on
some of the mechanics in the game, SRO's community, and just what you
might expect from the game. The topics range from the item mall to a
bit of PvP, so make sure you check it out!
The first stop on our journey was the very busy town
of Hotan. Like any
of the major epicenters in the more well known North American titles,
Hotan was bustling with activity. Players raced from NPC to NPC, trying
to find better equipment and learning their way around the city. In the
square, hundreds of players had erected their own item sale stalls,
which other players could browse through and find the equipment they
wanted. This seemed to serve as the auction house style of selling seen
on other MMORPGs, but it made for a very busy looking central square
area with hundreds of players hawking wares at the same time.
