On the European side, high level Warlock users can obtain the Ravage Courage skill which will penetrate the heart and soul of an opponent, decreasing their will and defensive power and making them extremely vulnerable to magical and physical attacks.

Onrpg: Are you holding any special activities or events in regard to this new update?

We recently held a community-focused contest related to the launch of Magic Pop. Our community members took screenshots of themselves using Magic Pop and entered them for a chance to win cool prizes like new iPods. We're always running fun events for our audience, and we have many more planned for the coming months.

Onrpg: For players who are new to Silkroad, what might you say to try and convince them to start playing the game?

While there are many MMO games out there right now, Silkroad Online's Triangular Conflict system is something entirely unique. We'd definitely recommend that new players try their hand at being a merchant, thief, or hunter in order to experience the best player vs. player interactions that Silkroad has to offer.

Onrpg: Do you intend on trying to tackle the connection difficulty most players of the game are experiencing?

The Silkroad Gold MMO gaming community has grown rapidly over the last few years, and we're currently taking steps to ensure that all our players are able to enjoy Silkroad Online to its fullest.

Onrpg: What is your stance concerning the botting outbreak in Silkroad Online?

We do not support the use of bots in any form, and we continually search for and remove them from our game. We are aware of the issue at hand and are working on tools and solutions to rid the world of Silkroad of bots entirely but it is not something that is proving to be an easy task.

Onrpg: How do you go about to rid the game world of this rather large inconvenience (botting, gold farming.. etc)? Does the community help you in doing so?

We are continually working on fixing these issues, and weekly bans are conducted that rid the servers of thousands of bots at a time. We encourage everyone to contact us on the community forums and share any questions or feedback they may have about their experience.

Onrpg: Are you planning on releasing content as substantial as this on the European side of the game?

We don't have any specific plans along those lines right now, but that's definitely an idea we've given some thought. Who knows what the future will hold, we would definitely like to get a handle on the nuisances that plague the servers before creating more areas for them to collect in.

Onrpg: Lastly, when do you next expect Silkroad will be undergoing another large update such as this one?

We haven't announced any definite plans for another update, but when we do have plans we'll be sure to share them both you and our community!
