Experience one of the greatest oriental MMORPG experiences available in a free-to-play MMO capacity, Silkroad Online. As the flagship title for popular publishers Joymax, Silkroad Online is currently undergoing a massive facelift with Ignite Silkroad. A series of updates that addresses issues raised by the player base, as well as introducing a huge amount of new content, boss battles and PvE features.

One of the most defining features of Silkroad Online is the expertly designed weapons and armor. Unlike other games that aim for realism and gentle approaches to item and armor design, Joymax have opted to follow a totally over the top route. This allows Silkroad Online players to wear massive suits of armor with spikes, blades and other ornamental decorations. Whether you're level 1, 10 or 50, there's always some great looking armor just waiting to be found.

Although Silkroad Online boasts an impressive selection of PvE content and events, the real appeal comes in the form of the games critically acclaimed PvP. One of the main activities enjoyed by PvP players is the Caravan system. Players can earn a fortune escorting purchased goods and items between different towns, ports and cities. Players can choose which goods they purchase and how far they want to travel. The rarer the goods and more expensive they are, combined with the distance traveled, adds more opportunity to profit.

However, with great reward comes great risk. Every Caravan can come under attack by Thieves at any time, both player and AI controlled units will attempt to ambush you and take your goods. Thieves are always disguised with hidden names, so they cannot be grieved during the situation. However, players can later look at their death list and place a bounty on anyone that has previously killed them or robbed their caravan.
