Wanna feel like a VIP? Silkroad Online's got you covered. Tomorrow Joymax will take the wraps off of its new premium server, Genesis, which will cater to the high-rollers and high society among MMORPG gamers. The members-only worldwill reward loyal consumers by offering enormous XP, SP and drop rates, GM events, and discounts on cash shop purchases for a limited time.
Joymax isn't limiting the fun to just subscribers, either; all gamers on all worlds are invited to partake in Silkroad's Carnival. The Carnival will deliver a smaller but still significant XP boost than what Genesis is offering, and any gamers who head over to an attendance event will rack up SP and skill/stat reset scrolls. This event goes until December 13th, so there's ample time to shake your booty and rack up the rewards!

Filed under: Fantasy, Patches, Silkroad Online, Free-to-play
If a temple didn't have mystery, would adventurers flock to it? We think not. Therefore, it's a good thing that Silkroad Online still has a few secrets up its sleeves as thedeveloperteam prepares to release the game's eighth major update on August 2nd.
Titled Mysterious Temple of Jupiter, this update will offer a slew of new ways for characters to grow and gain in power -- not to point out go all Scooby-Doo on Old Man Jupiter's stomping grounds. Once August 2nd hits, Silkroad gamers can punch up through ten more levels for a total of 120, tackle 60 additional quests, and learn different new skills from the Chinese and European arts. The aforepoint outed temple will be obtainable for conquest and plunder, although gamers will need to be level 111 and up to enter.
Joymax CEO Nam-chul Kim says that this update is a direct effect of community feedback: "For the latest expansion to Silkroad Online, we have listened closely to our community of gamers and are excited to offer new challenges and improvements."
Mysterious Temple of Jupiter follows the last update, Rise of the Thief-Hunter, which came out four months ago.Silkroad Online's Mysterious Temple of Jupiter update to go live August 2nd Thu, 28 Jul 2011 11:30:00 EST.

There's a ton of new functionality on display in Joymax's free-to-play Silkroad Online MMORPGRPG. The historical fantasy title, set along the renowned China to Constantinople trading route in the 7th century AD, has in recent times released its Rise of the Thief-Hunter expansion. Additionally, Joymax has added 24-hour GM support to the game and is hosting a series of events designed to draw awareness to the new services as well as solicit fan feedback (and offer prizes). Festivities include a share-your-knowledge event, a Fortress War video competition, and a Legendary Player tribute event.
The expansion features a new emphasis on jobs, and gamers will be able to specialize in new skill sets dependent on their characters' jobs and levels. Job titles will also change as different advancement tasks are finished, and reputation gain is now tied in with rank bonuses (which in turn raises attributes).
Rise of the Thief-Hunter also brings a newly designed crafting system granting gamers the ability to fabricate everything from siege items to alchemy staples. A new trade system allows for gamers to explore their smugglery sides and offers quests that reward unique job items. Players may also choose to protect trade caravans or raid them. Check out the official Silkroad Online website for more information on the expansion and associated events.Joymax commencees Silkroad Online expansion and new events Mon, 14 Mar 2011 18:00:00 EST.

SilkRoad Online : GDC 2011: Joymax weighs KarmaMar 06, 2011 10:00:00 AM News Item: 16633
Filed under: Galleries, Video, MMORPG industry, New titles, War, Free-to-play, MMORPGFPS, Event Coverage, Miscellaneous
Imagine a world where World War II -- also known as "That War With All Them Movies" -- never ended. Imagine that while the conflict raged, weapons development continued to advance well into the 1950s. Now envisionthat this war-ravaged landscape is your new virtual playground.
Joymax, the studio behind Silkroad Online, revealed at GDC that its next MMORPG will take place in such a world. Code-named Karma Online, this massively multigamer online first-individualshooter will attempt to provide the ultimate Player vs Player battleground for gamers sick of bows and arrows and futuristic plasma rifles.
Karma Online seeks to meld the best of both RPGs and FPSs by introducing a skill tree system that allows soldiers to specialize in preferred weapons and tactics. Although we're not quite sure what Joymax means by this, the studio promises more immersion by requiring the use of both hands for combat instead of just the mouse. The game will also come with the popular Call of Duty-style zombie mode if you want to switch up gamer-killing for undead slaughter.
The shooter is scheduled to go into closed beta this May. Hit the jump to see Karma Online in action and get the skinny on Joymax and WeMade Entertainment's other projects-in-progress!

Last week we spoke briefly with Funcom executive producer and game director Craig "Silirrion" Morrison regarding Age of Conan's random encounter mechanic, which will invoke a series of one-off solo instances designed to add a bit of flavor to the journey to Hyboria's Far East. We also checked out five of the 11 obtainable instances: four sea-faring adventures and one rare-spawn quest-giving encounter.
This week, we'll step through the remaining five adventures, all of them land-locked, in addition to taking a quick look at the second rare spawn. Voyage past the cut for more.
