People call SRO a "run of the mill mmorpg". Yet when it comes to "avarage" people are still paying for the other mmo's.
You get to try a style of gaming that offers much expances and depth, without asking any money. Can you really complain? No.
Here is where you get to experience the mmo genre in itself and find out if that is something you like. No other game currnetly does that. It is not World of Warcraft or even Final Fantasy 11. Ill tell you this though out of all I have played(i've played most) WOW is the only one worth paying actual money for.
Bypass FF XI go straight to WOW that is if you have had enough of Silkroad online, a very worthy and accomidating mmo that puts others to shame.
