Silkroad Online

Silkroad online is a Korean MMORPG currently in open alpha. Players start in Chang'an, China and gain skills and fight enemies based on mythology from China, other asian countries, the middle east, and Europe. At level 20, players can become merchants, hunters or thieves (Merchants trade along the Silk Road for money, thieves try to kill them and take their money, and hunters travel with the merchants to defend them from the thieves).

The game has a wide and constantly growing player base and new servers are in high demand in the English-speaking community, due to the overabundance of players. Towns are always crowded with players, mostly AFK players selling items in their stalls (A function that allows your character to sell items at a set price without actually being there yourself). Popular levelling areas always have players and as a result there is alot of kill stealing and competition over monsters.
