This was one of the first FREE mmo i ‘ve played, it was nice and laggish cause overcrowded, but overall it was much enjoyable, to be honest i would have never thought this game made it so far..
At the time the content wasn’t much, but year after year they kept adding many new zones, levels and contents.. now the game is pretty good and i am pretty sure the Silk Road is not completed yet..

Silkroad Online is a fantasy MMORPG set in the 7th century AD, along the Silk Road between China and Europe. The game requires no periodic subscription fee, but players can purchase premium items to customize or accelerate gameplay.
Silkroad Online is noted for its “Triangular Conflict System” in which characters can select from the three jobs of trader, hunter, and thief to engage each other in player versus player combat. Players are given the option to create either a Chinese or European character. Each of the races has its own advantages, disadvantages, cities, weapons, armour and classes.
