I honestly had no idea that Joymax’s Silkroad Online was so popular until I read yesterday’s (June 25, 2008) press release. Apparently the free MMORPG has hit a milestone, with over 100,000 players all playing at the same time on Joymax’s global servers. Considering that Joymax has over 7.2 million recorded users for the game, you’d think that number would be higher.
If you factor in the other versions of Silkroad Online, which are published in other countries by some other companies that partnered up with Joymax, that figure rises slightly. If all Silkroad Online players, regardless of publisher/region are counted, there can be over 170,000 people playing at once and over 18 million users.
Silkroad Online is a historic, fantasy MMO where players follow the Silk Road route in Asia and Europe. Once people register and create a character, they can then take part in the trading fantasy as either a merchant, a caravan guard or a thief. Just recently, a new game expansion called “Legend III Roc Mountain” was released to allow players to find more items, take new quests, explore new areas and do more leveling up.
