Silkroad-R is an upcoming Free-to-Play MMORPG that continues the story of the previous title, Silkroad Online. Joymax announced today that the launch of their Open Beta phase was a huge success and that players can now enjoy a lag free, bot free, stress free, free-to-play experience. The Open Beta launched on December 20th, almost instantly a large amount of gamers flooded the game and resulted in Joymax opening an additional server, Gobi, to maintain server stability.
"Joymax’s main mission for 2011 was to find an answer to the two questions, ‘What do our players want?’, and ‘How can we give it to them?’" said Joymax CEO, Nam-chul Kim. "But to quote a line from the movie the Matrix, ‘There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. Silkroad-R is our attempt at walking the path. It incorporates all of the most wanted player requests, from faster level-ups, less bots, and a cleaner UI to improved character balance."
To celebrate the successful launch of Open Beta for Silkroad-R, Joymax will be holding a series of promotion and events between now and January 17, 2012. The MMORPG has sophisticated systems in place to prevent botters, as an extra precaution, Joymax has also stated the game has several policies that effectively remove the main incentives for players to turn to botting.
