January 08, 2013 - Leading online game developer and publisher, Joymax, today announces the upcoming launch of a major update for the world-renown free-to-play MMORPG, Silkroad Online. "Ignite Silkroad Part 3: Undead’s Revenge" is the third installment of many changes that started in late 2012 which also features a variety of large-scale events.  Silkroad Online has been on a roll of changes and surprises for the past two months with skill balance enhancements, permanent beginner benefits, and much more.

This month's update brings an ominous approach with the introduction of a new terrifying monster: Death Bone!  Following the death of last month’s raid monster event, “Roc Time Attack!”, the rage and terror of so many deaths has had an unintended consequence. Born from the Roc’s ashes Death Bone arises --  a massive skeleton monster with powerful skills that will instantly knock the players silly. Death Bone will claw all players close to it, and then launch a near-death attack for the unfortunate players who did not flee in the following 5 seconds.  Players must always be alert and aware when fighting Death Bone.

Death Bone is the most challenging boss yet, requiring a full raid at maximum level; the epic event “Roc Time Attack!” will feel easy in comparison.  Residing deep within the Roc Mountain, players who have both defeated the Roc and completed a challenging quest chain can call up this undead monstrosity.  The effort is well worth the investment, as Death Bone not only rewards the best EXP gains, but also 13 ^th tier equipment, the highest gold reward, and more.

Starting January 15 ^th for a limited time, this dungeon will be open to all players above level 80. A Key of Bloodline- an item which allows players to enter the dungeon- will be given for free (the key is usually obtained through high-level quest).  Rewards such as Monster Summon Scrolls and Pandora’s Box will be given just for participating in a battle and posting a screenshot to the official Silkroad Online Facebook page!

Missed the “Roc Time Attack!” event?  The Roc will return on January 8 ^th for a limited time.  Players can find out more by visiting Silkroad Online's official website at  http://bit.ly/Join_Silkroad or follow Silkroad Online's Facebook which is now accessible through the game with the click of a button!
