Silkroad Halloween Event

Joymax, an independent developer and publisher of interactive entertainment for the global market, today announced an exclusive Halloween event for the historical fantasy MMORPG Silkroad Online. Players can show off their ghoulish sides by obtaining jewel boxes to trade for Witch or Wizard costumes and accessories. These jewel boxes are dropped from monsters, and players can exchange these boxes with NPCs in order to receive these festive items. Gifts will be given at random, and players can make as many exchanges as they wish in order to complete their looks. The Halloween event will come to a close on November 11th, so be sure to join the party before it all fades away!

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.

World of Warcraft Surpasses 11 Million Subscribers Worldwide

Anticipation continues to mount for Wrath of the Lich King® expansion as Blizzard Entertainment®’s massively multiplayer online role-playing game reaches new milestone.

Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. announced today that the subscribership for World of Warcraft®, its award-winning massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), now exceeds 11 million players worldwide. This milestone was reached as the beta test for Wrath of the Lich King®, World of Warcraft’s second expansion, nears completion. Wrath of the Lich King will launch in several regions around the world starting on November 13.

“It’s been very rewarding to see gamers around the world continue to show such strong support for World of Warcraft,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment®. “We remain fully committed to responding to that enthusiasm with a high-quality, constantly evolving game experience.

Since debuting in North America on November 23, 2004, World of Warcraft has become the most popular MMORPG around the world. It was the bestselling PC game of 2005 and 2006 worldwide, and finished behind only World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade®, the first expansion pack for the game, in 2007.* In addition to being the bestselling PC game of 2007 in both North America and Europe, The Burning Crusade holds the record for fastest-selling PC game of all time, with nearly 2.4 million copies sold in its first 24 hours of availability and approximately 3.5 million in its first month.

World of Warcraft was recently launched in Russia and Latin America, and is currently available in eight languages. In addition to North America and Europe, the game is played in mainland China, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Chile, Argentina, and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.

To keep pace with the continued growth of World of Warcraft as well as development on other Blizzard Entertainment games, the company is currently hiring for numerous open positions.

Zu Online: Fashions to Change Sex

With the release of Zu Online, version 1.5.06, many new features have been added to the game, such as metamorphic fashions. The newly released metamorphic fashions allows the wearer to change their appearance into that of a Male Bead Fairy, Female Swordsman or Male Moonmaiden all of whom have never before been seen in the game. Fashions for shifting shape into a Female Summoner and Female Sun Warrior will be added to the game in the later version. So pay attention to the constantly improving Zu Online!

Male Bead Fairy
They were the orphans the Jade Pool Fairy took in from the human world. Under their senior female fellow apprentices’ care, they not only know how to take care of the wounded and sick, but also know how to be as gentle as the other Bead Fairies. Upon seeing the forces of Evil take so much from their people, they can no longer stand by and do nothing.

Female Swordsman
Even encased in the shining steel armor wrapping her slim body, she radiates warmth and compassion. Born to a life of privilege as the General’ s daughter, she spurned the easy life of parties and marriage to follow her father into training as a swordsman. Beautiful and smart, she appears soft as silk, but in truth she is hard as rock inside. When her father and family were killed, a little part of her died as well. Now, no force of evil will survive the touch of her blade.

Male Moonmaiden
Long strands of hair black as the night danced around the smooth, molded face of the young man. Perched high on the mountain top overlooking the valley he stared intently into the darkness. A full moon bathed the valley in front of him with its ghostly radiance. Twirling among his dexterous fingers is a long, slim curved blade that seems to dance around his arm. This cold face had once known the warmth of love, but like the moon, it had dissolved into a barren reflection of its former beauty. Death can be so painful, but watching love die is a pain few can endure. Ruthless in his personal quest for redemption, his Moonblade is feared by devils far and wide.

Zero Online: What Will We Have in November?

Want to rescue your friends and apprentices when they are in jeopardy? Want to trade with your trade partners whenever you need? Want to instantly join the battle with your fleet or squad members? Or maybe you want to take revenge to your enemies for what they’ve done to you? Apparently, all these will be nonsense because of distance.

Let me introduce you something: Space Teleport System.
If your potency ranks top 50 of any server, you will be our VIP. You are authorized to be teleported to the players mentioned above instantly, that is, for instant, you don’t have to check your enemies’ coordinates and follow them. As you long as you get well prepared, you can let them pay for they deeds whenever you want!

Inner cabin is an important space for each unit. Sometimes, if you check other units’ inner cabin, the only word you may come up with is DISORDER. Now you can help them tidy up their cabins. More importantly, that is a new way for you to make profits.

In order to prevent using bots in the game, you may need to do some simple sums during playing the game from next month. If you can’t get the right answers for 3 times successively, you will be put into the bot jail.

From November, medical infantry units can learn skills and transform into bug forms: rearhorse, hornet, dragonfly, grasshopper, sand worm and scorpion! Unit’s supreme level will be upgraded to level 188! You can have 10 more lottery chances each day. In addition, 2 new spacecraft missions will be available for you to carry on!

Halloween Online Events Are On This Weekend!

Halloween is the most enjoyable holiday of the year. No matter how old you are, you just can’t help but get into the Halloween spirit! With the exception of Thanksgiving, this is the last of the year’s harvest festivals. The crops are in, and it’s time to relax and prepare for the coming winter ahead.

Tales of Pirates: Industrial Analyzing

The players from Tales of Pirates recently had some fun with an industrial experiment in game. In the last chapter we heard about manufacturing, today we will continue to take a glance at another handicraft, analyzing.



This handicraft can turn what seems like waste into some really useful items. Apart from manufacturing, analysis changes unused gear into one of several useful items. According to the catalyst used, the waste gear can be analyzed into very different materials, like weapon parts, armor parts or even cooking materials.



Necessities for Analysis:


Fairy Analyzing Skills: Can be learned from the Lifeskill Book of Analyzing Pet Fairies.

Catalyst: There are 8 different types according to the items you want to get. They are the Stone Catalyst, Liquid Catalyst, Food Catalyst, Special Catalyst, Bone Catalyst, Plant Catalyst, Fur Catalyst and Wood Catalyst.

Tool: The Particle Crystal is the very best tool for Analyzing.
Analysis Effect: 100% success rate of Analysis, followed by the release of from 1 to 10 items. The quantity of the item obtained relates to the level of the pet fairy, skill level, tool level and so on, while the quality of the item obtained is related to the item to be analyzed.



Analyzing Flow:



Find the Substance Generator at Icicle Castle (1341, 565).
Click to open the analysis page, and then drag the item you want to analyze, pet Fairy, and Particle Crystal into their corresponding positions.



Click Start, and then the progress bar below will begin to move with a five-digit number display.



Click Finish before the progress bar is complete.
