I entered the game today after being away for a long time. While the game is fun to play and graphics are good the fun was over in just minutes because this game is STILL OVERPOPULATED BY BOTS, BOTS AND BOTS.

Imo Joymax is an immoral compagny and this game doesnt deserve to be here on mmorpg.com or being called an mmo at all.

Yeah, I tried this game a couple of years ago.  It was very promising with great graphics and smooth gameplay.  But like you said, it was overrun with bots galore.  So it's still that way today?  Shame because I was thinking of giving it a visit today.

lol you make it sound like SRO never had bots before...

played it from CB/OB back when it had 2 servers to choose.. BOTH were overloaded with afk shops and bots...

the game while seeming to be a decent asian grinder.... sucks horribly.. i mean its beyond horrible.

i gave up on the game when i got around lv 20 or 30.. i cant remember anymore.. so long ago, was up to the 2nd main city just as worse as the first "noob zone" soo laggy, full of bots and hackers. pointless to play legit on the servers lol

nice to see it never changed....

The game was fun to play just too many bots.

I'm amazed you even managed to log in at all ... after many years away from SRO, due to inability to log in due to the amount of bots crowding the servers, I thought I would give it another try ... so after a 1.2Gb download of the latest client I discovered: NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!! In fact, I could not log in at all ... My advice: until someone other than Joymax administers the game properly steer clear of it entirely ... a total exercise in frustration ... and a total shame given the graphics are teriffic and there are many good gaming ideas lying buried in a wasteland of unimpeded botters ...

Thank you JOYMAX ... you killed 'fun' ...
