Welcome to NGESRO

Welcome to NGESRO:
...

NGESRO is a cluster of Silkroad Online private server projects.
This place is ment for people who share the same fascination about Silkroad Online.
The project is driven by an ever lasting fascination for the game mechanics and art style.
This project is ment for mature players to have educated chats, make friends and learn new things.

Players are supposed to use the given game activities and organize in game or via the discord server by themselves.
There is not much GM activity in the game or the discord server, nor is the GM in any way responsible to entertain the players.

Therefore please only consider playing any NGESRO project if:
- You can accept a low server population or even playing alone.
- You are fine with no GM activity in the game.
- You agree that the GM is not responsible to keep the players entertained.
- You are able to organize in-game activities by yourself.

Please note that updates and bug fixes may take some time to complete.
Suggestions regarding the gameplay system are welcome and will be taken into account for future updates.

There are multiple servers with different features available. (check the Serverlist on the left panel)

Thank you for reading.
Be good to yourself.

How to get a verified website account:
...

The verification is permanant and no more payments are required.
A verified website account can create an unlimited amount of game accounts.
The reason for this verification step is, that game accounts can be linked to a website account.
The NGESRO project was always about offering a place for experiencing Silkroad Online without bots.
So in case of a game rule abuse like using a bot, all game accounts that belong to the website account will be banned.
After deep considerations going for such a verification model is the most effective way to fight bots and offer a friendly game environment for mature people.
We are aware that choosing such an approach to the server design will reduce the possible player count compared to a regular free to play system.

● Option 1: Charge website silk to verify your website account.
● Option 2: Complete the account verification quest in Old3Job (70 CAP) server.
- The character in use must be created by the website account you want to verify
● Option 3: Complete a Forgotten World 2 Star Solo spped run in NGESRO server.
- It must be a valid speed run (message with completion time has to show after killing Sereness)
- The character in use must be created by the website account you want to verify
