SPQR is friendly and helpfull union made of eight guilds : SPQR, which presents the Senate and seven legions. We play this game on our own ideas, as role playing game, on our own scenario.
The best way to express the spirit of our union is next citation:
"The Roman people appear very often in law and history in such phrases as dignitas, maiestas, auctoritas, libertas populi Romani, the "dignity, majesty, authority, freedom of the Roman people." They were a populus liber, "a free people." There was an exercitus, imperium, iudicia, honores, consules, voluntas of this same populus: "the army, rule, judgements, offices, consuls and will of the Roman people". They appear in early Latin as Popolus and Poplus, so the habit of thinking of themselves as free and sovereign was quite ingrained." - Wikipedia
We all know that Silkroad Online is corrupted game, full of botters and people using powerleveling. As FREE people, with dignity and honor, with sense of justice and lot of good will, we dont accept "this" kind of gaming and we play it on our way.
So, here are our rules :
- Botting is forbidden.
- Powerleveling (given or taken) is forbidden.
- Any kind of taxi (given or taken) is forbidden.
- Gold buying is forbidden.
Lets explain, why this all is forbidden, even it's more than obvious.
- Why botting is forbidden? - Because, botting is not playing. People using bots are inactive and mostly afk. They leave option KS -on- and disturb.
- Why powerleveling is forbidden? - Because, people using powerleveling are also inactive, mostly sitting on the horses and being afk, waiting that someone else makes exp or sp for them. Powerleveling is for lazy people, and players like this dont have place in our union.
- Why taxi is forbidden? - Because, taxi, same as powerleveling (taxi - payed service) is also for lazy people. People doing taxi have bad excuse to do it - gold. There are plenty other ways to become rich, which will be developped on this forum.
- Why gold buying is forbidden? - Because, gold promoted from people (spammers) in towns in the game, is comming from gold-botters, who make the gaming very hard. So, we just ignore them (block them).
My personal point of view is that all those botters and taxi-people make server crowded, hard to connect for players (real ones) who would like to play. People who use premium ticket have chance to log in, but get very often disconnected because of huge lag. Its a waste of time and real money spent for the silk. Also, botters and taxi-people are always (or almost always) ksers, disturbing normal grind. It's disgusting to see high level player on low level mobs. For normal players it's impossible to do quests or take any kill with them around.
What to say more? It's so simple - we are different. Non-respect of those rules will cause BAN.
We are here to play SilkRoad because we like this game, to have fun, to have nice team play, to make friends.
As many people are already long time in our union, I wish to thank you all for your friendly and helpfull gaming. I hope we'll stay long time together and survive eventuel missunderstandings.
I wish also to welcome all new players who joined us recently, same as futur newcommers.
For the Glory of Empire !
