14 DAY TRIAL // Joymax, a developer and publisher, has announced that it has launched the open beta testing period for Silkroad-R, specifically designed to attract newcomers to the franchise and allow them to enjoy an experience that is free-to-play.
The beta was so successful that the developer quickly added the Gobi server to keep up with demand and are now planning a number of events until January 17, 2012 in order to keep players interested.
Nam-chul Kim, who is the Chief Executive Officer at Joymax, stated, “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?’”
He added, “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.”
