A lot of hackers and botters... lack of patches and maintenance since its a FREE game...

SRO is better than 2M until 2M makes Gender selection available

i'm tired of playing games that forces a certain sex for a certain class, it's just wrong.... the point is it's to gay to use a girl when you are guy, and viceversa, girls complains they don't want to use male characters when they play.

you have some serious issues if playing as a female character in a video game makes you feel that way.

Sorry to bump this thread so late, but I just have to add my two cents.

This game is still terrible. I played it once a couple of years ago, and just remember it being very sparse. Played it last month and only have one thing to say. Now that bots have taken over, and the latest "patch" was supposed to take care of that, it is all but unplayable.

I mean it is on thing to fill out a CAPTCHA only to be denied access to the server, only to find the server to be full of bots when you actually do get to sign on.

I guess you get what you pay for, but it is kind of sad that someone took the time to write software to cheat at a game that was mediocre to begin with, and even depressing that someone took the chance, time, HDD space, to install said program and cheat on a free game that clearly already had drawbacks.

Joymax does not seem all that concerned with it, which is kind of surprising as the mathematics of one person running 20-30 accounts has obvious drawbacks to their pay service of getting special items.

I just started playing WoW myself, and while I personally would like to see the whole SRO franchise go under, it is certainly taking smacktards away from the very crowded WoW, so that is good.
