# How to use SRO.GG to find a Silkroad server Find Silkroad private servers on SRO.GG. Learn to use cap lists, search, launch dates and server pages with this illustrated introduction. SRO.GG is a free directory that brings Silkroad Online private servers together in one place. You can see launch dates, level caps, reported player counts and player comments. You don't need an account to browse the site. This illustrated guide explains each part of the site so you can find the server you want in a few minutes. ## 1. The top menu ![The SRO.GG header shows server counters, the search field, language selector and navigation links.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/d4672fb6-6eee-478e-a723-c779a0cdca7d.webp) The same menu sits at the top of every page. From left to right: - **[SRO.GG logo](https://sro.gg/en):** Takes you back to the home page. - **Active and Upcoming counters:** How many active servers are listed right now and how many are about to open. Clicking the "Upcoming" counter opens the launch calendar. - **Search box:** Search for servers by name. Step four explains how. - **Language selector:** Use the site in English or Turkish. - **[Hype](https://sro.gg/en/hype), [PVP](https://sro.gg/en/pvp) and [Trending](https://sro.gg/en/trending):** Pages that show which servers people are looking at right now, the weekly PvP Arena tournament and the servers rising over the last 7 days. Buttons marked *SOON* are sections that are coming later. - **[Create Short Link](https://sro.gg/en/user/shortlink/create):** A free link shortener for server owners and content creators. - **Bottom row:** The Home, Upcoming Servers, New Servers and Most Populated lists. ## 2. The home page server list ![The homepage server list shows cap levels, short descriptions and engagement counts.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/caba0d7d-5306-45c4-8174-a523db8f34a5.webp) The home page shows every active server in the list. Sometimes there's an orange **Sponsored Servers** box above the list; the servers in it have rented that ad space. The main list isn't random: the server that used a **boost** most recently appears at the top. A boost is how an owner moves their server to the top of the list. So the order reflects visibility, not quality. When you decide whether a server is good, look at the comments and the details on its page. ### What's in a server row? Let's use Hitsro's row as an example: ![Hitsro’s homepage row shows its 120 cap, Legend badge, online count and engagement counts.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/98558505-2195-45de-8b24-77bb35cad8ee.webp) 1. **Logo:** The server's logo. Servers without one show a gray "Sro.gg" box. 2. **Cap box:** The highest level a character can reach (120 CAP for Hitsro in this example). Click it to see every server with the same cap. 3. **Server name and badge:** Click the name to open the server page. The *Legend* badge next to Hitsro's name means the owner purchased the Legend package; there's also an *Elite* package. The colored name also comes with the Legend package. 4. **Green "online" text:** The player count the server shows on its own website (2.9K online in the example). It only appears for servers whose counter SRO.GG can read. The number is the server’s own claim, not a measurement by SRO.GG. Read [how the data is collected and its limits](https://sro.gg/en/page/data-methodology). 5. **Short description:** A one-line summary written by the owner: rates, races, prizes and so on. 6. **Views, comments, likes:** How many times the server page was viewed on SRO.GG, and how many comments and likes it has. The Hitsro screenshot shows 148.6K views, 101 comments and 60 likes. Servers that haven't opened yet show their launch date in place of the green online text, for example "November 14, 2026". ## 3. Finding servers by cap ![The Browse by Cap Level box shows cap links ranging from 150 to 10.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/f63b3242-c271-4da0-9833-16c7e83a780c.webp)**Cap** is the highest level a character can reach on a server. On a 120 cap server, for example, your character can go up to level 120. If you already know which cap you want to play, start your search there. The fastest way to see servers with a specific cap is the **Browse by Cap Level** box on the right. Just click the level you want. The same links are in the "Cap Levels" section at the bottom of every page. You can also click the cap box of any server in the list to open that level's page. Each cap page lists servers at that level, along with their launch dates, player counts, views and comments. This lets you compare servers with the same cap. For example, Hitsro is a 120 cap server: click the [120 cap box](https://sro.gg/en/120-cap-silkroad-servers) and you'll see Hitsro together with every other 120 cap server. If you're not sure which level you want, opening a few cap pages and comparing their server counts and player activity is a good start. ![The 120 cap page shows a server list that includes Hitsro.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/a5aa5e2b-1f5f-40ba-9138-e780e33b0b30.webp) The page that opens lists only servers with that cap, with the number found under the title. Each row shows the same details as on the home page. ## 4. Searching by name ![The search field contains hitsro as the query for Hitsro.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/ccc003ca-827b-465b-850c-8583d41298bf.webp) If you know the server's name, use the search box at the top. On a computer, **Ctrl + K** jumps straight into it. After you type at least two characters and pause briefly, a dropdown shows matching servers. Searching for "hitsro" brings up Hitsro - Dawn of Valor, with its logo, cap level, badge if there is one, and short description. To see every match, click **View all results** at the bottom. The screenshot below shows the [full results page for "hitsro"](https://sro.gg/en/search?q=hitsro). ![The results for hitsro show the Hitsro - Dawn of Valor listing.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/5c22aed1-a47b-4337-a125-aef3e3c2465d.webp) ## 5. The launch calendar ![The upcoming servers page shows listings grouped by launch day.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/87e1fb30-2d67-4db2-9791-1c09d674ff14.webp) The **[Upcoming Servers](https://sro.gg/en/upcoming-sro-servers)** page groups the servers opening in the next six months by launch day. Each day's heading shows the date and how many servers open that day. If you want to play a new server from day one, check this page regularly. The other two lists in the menu: - **[New Servers](https://sro.gg/en/new-sro-servers):** Servers whose launch date was within the last month. - **[Most Populated](https://sro.gg/en/most-populated-sro-servers):** Servers that show a player count on their own site, ranked by the latest count read by SRO.GG. Counts older than 24 hours are left out. ## 6. The server page ![Hitsro’s page shows its information card, Server Overview, tabs and introduction artwork.](https://bucket.sro.gg/11092026/3b4e87f7-464a-4c65-8352-3a1ff5621846.webp) Click a server's name to open its page. The screenshot above shows [Hitsro’s listing](https://sro.gg/en/server/hitsro-dawn-of-valor-120-cap-drop-system-play-2-win-new-features). On a server page you'll find: - **Key details:** Max level, race (EU, CH or both), IP and PC limits, guild and union limits. - **Launch and beta dates:** When the server opens and, if there is one, when the beta test starts. - **Website, Discord and WhatsApp buttons:** Go to the server's own website and community channels. Which buttons appear depends on the links the owner added. - **Like button:** Shows that you like the server. - **Server Overview:** The server's highlighted features as a list. - **Introduction:** The owner's detailed write-up: rates, systems, events and images. - **Comments:** Players' experiences. You need to sign in to write one. - **Online History:** A chart showing how the reported player count changes over time, available when SRO.GG can read the count. If the introduction isn't available in your language, a yellow notice appears and the content is shown in the language it was written in. ## 7.
