Silkroad Online, in your browser
Silkroad Online v1.150, Legend III: Roc Mountain, the MMORPG of caravans, hunters and thieves on the old trade road, rebuilt from scratch to run in your web browser. Open a tab and ride out: no launcher, no game client, nothing to install.
The game you remember
The original world, interface, characters, effects and sound. Combat, skills and buffs, quests, alchemy, pets, guilds, PvP, trading, stalls, jobs and fortress battles.
Nothing to install
A new engine written in TypeScript draws the game on your own graphics card with WebGPU. Not video streaming, not the old client in a wrapper: game data streams in as you need it and stays cached.
Faithful by design
The default game matches v1.150: behaviour is checked against the original binaries and game data, not guessed. Anything that changes it is clearly marked and optional.
Free and open source
Free to play, and every line of the client and server is public under the AGPL-3.0. Read it, report a bug, or send a fix.

Questions
Is this an official Silkroad Online project?
No. OpenSRO is unofficial and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by Silkroad Online's publishers. Game assets and trademarks remain the property of their owners.
Is OpenSRO free to play?
Yes. The game is free, and so is a closed-beta key from our Discord.
Can I play it now?
Yes, in the closed beta. Join our Discord and press "Get my beta key" in #beta-access, create your account on this site with the key, then open the Play page and log in with the same account.
OpenSRO is under active development: expect bugs, unfinished behaviour and changes while the game is tested. Characters and items may be reset during the beta.
Which browsers and computers can I use?
A desktop or laptop with a current Chrome or Edge and WebGPU support. Hardware, drivers and browser settings affect compatibility and performance.
The game is designed around keyboard and mouse. Phones and other browsers are not supported yet.
Do I need the original game client?
No. Nothing needs to be installed to play the hosted game: the browser downloads the game data it needs and keeps it cached for next time.
Only developers building the game data themselves need a v1.150 client they are permitted to use.
What is already in the game?
Character creation, world movement, monsters and their AI, combat, skills, buffs, quests, alchemy, inventory, loot, NPC shops, pets and social systems, plus PvP and PK, player trading, stalls, jobs and fortress battles.
A system existing in the code does not mean every part of it is finished or tested. Systems are checked against the original game and fixed as gaps are found.
