one of the best RPGs out there
unlike other mmo's where you have to pay monthly...
its easy to download and only takes about 20 - 60 minutes.
it has great graphics but not the best and its just fun to play. its similar to guild wars, world of warcraft, everquest, runescape, etc.
there are 3 major areas that you can go to. jangan, donwhang and hotan. these places are sorted by level. Jangan - (1-23) Donwhang - (24-32) Hotan - (33-70) Silkroad takes place from Eastern China all the way to Europe.
you can get pets such as squirrels, wolves, and monkies. you can batlle and trade with other players all around the world. there is a variety of weapons, shields, armor and accesories. These too are assorted by level.
If you want to play a great MMOPRG, play Silkroad.
