DESCRIPTION OF THE SILKROAD MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME

The game of SilkRoad is based on the history of trading in China along the Silk Road, a historical network of trade routes in Asia. The game attempts to reproduce the Silk Road in a much smaller scale, looking realistic and at the same time incorporating fantasy elements such as the use of special magical skills and abilities. One of the game's most noted features is allowing players to choose three different job roles after their character achieves level 20. The game currently has a level cap of 80 and up to an 8th degree equipment.

While the current version of International Silkroad Online is limited to the Chinese race and a smaller map, the Korean version of Silkroad Online has released both Chinese and European races, classes, and a large map that includes both Asia and central Europe, such as Constantinople. Different races also have access to different character abilities, such as the Islamic lamp elves; however, the power of the Greek gods will not be available to the Europeans.

The world of SilkRoad is largely divided into 2 regions. One is the world on the basis of actuality and history of Chan'an, Tunhuang, Hotan, Teheran, Baghdad and Constantinople which were the major trading pathway crossing from east to west, and the other is the fantasy world from Takla Makan to Hotan, Gollyun Mountain, Himalayas and Cheonchukguk (India) which lie south and north.

Both themes cross over east-west and south-north and have been completed into the fantasy SilkRoad world with coexistence of actuality and fantasy.
