    SilkRoad is a free to download and free to play (no subscription fee) online MMORPG.

    It crazy how many users there are on it, the game is simply stunning for a free game. Check out the ingame videos and pictures from their home webpage. You can also download the game from there.

    I've just started playign it today and really like it.

    I really recomend trying this game out. Especially since its all free.

    Is anyone else playing this online?

    Sound (and looks) pretty cool, but I'm a little bit too busy this week to check it out right now. Maybe during the weekend or during Thanksgiving. Considering it's free, I almost feel like I HAVE to check it out considering the amount of work that went into it. And it would be my 1st MMORPG as well if I get around to playing it.

    I'll try it out. (It's gotta be at least as much fun as NationStates, doesn't it? With a 500 MB download, it better be. :)) I've never played an MMORPG before, either. I'll be "kimble" on there.

    From what I've read on other forums about it, they say the game play starts out kind of slow. So at first it might not seem like that much fun. But as you understand the game more, and upgrade your character more it gets better and better.

    I like it myself, just so much to keep track of.

    It looks like it is -- there's a message on the front page under "Updates" that there's a "temporary server inspection for security patch" from 15:00 to 16:00 Korean Time -- i.e., right now until 01:00 Central.

    (I'm still downloading, though.)

    I didn't have to. Looks like they are inspecting their servers for another 15min.

    I downloaded this about a week ago and was FINALLY able to log in after they put up a new server for the first time yesterday.

    For a FREE game, it's good, very good. It has some horrible lag and rubberbanding, but that's to be expected seeing how the servers are always maxxed out. If you can get past the lag, and the average age of 12, you're set to have some fun!

    I've made 2 different kinds of guys, and it really is kind of fun. Would be kind of cool if we all partied up :D

    I forgot which server I chose, but if I'm on the wrong server it's not a big deal. Not like I got that far. I can create another character.

    Are there any games cooler than this one but aren't free?

    I'd rather pay a couple of bucks for a really cool game than to just spend time playing an OK game for free.
