San Jose, CA - August 26, 2008 -- Joymax, an independent developer and publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced that the Silkroad Online Summer Festival will begin today. By participating in one of three events, players will be able to win powerful items and earn bonus experience points as they defeat specially spawned monsters and compete in capture the flag matches. A lucky few will even receive one of the legendary star, moon, or sun seals, so there’s sure to be some stiff competition.

EVENTS

Capture the Flag - The main event, Capture the Flag, will have players competing in teams of two to four, battling spawned monsters in search of a special key. The first team to find the key, grab their flag, and attach it to their flagpole will be declared the winner!

Letter Hunt - While hunting during the festival, players will randomly gain letters from monsters killed. Spell the word “SUMMER” and talk Carnival Manager Vivi to win a variety of prizes, from Skill Experience scrolls to Recovery Grains.

Bonus Exp - On festival weekends, from Friday to Sunday, players will gain 10% additional experience points from all monsters killed. Happy hunting!

Silkroad Online is a massively multiplayer online RPG that puts the player deep into historical fantasy, joining the Chinese and European civilizations along the Silk Road trade route. Traveling across Jang’an, from China to Constantinople, players can make their fortunes as merchants, prey on the rich as thieves, or be protection-for-hire as hunters. The recently released expansion, Legend III Roc Mountain, added new territory, quests, weapons, and an increased level cap for adventurers. With over 18 million registered users and 170,000 concurrent players worldwide, the triangular conflict of Silkroad Online has never been more exciting.
