The Silk Road is carefully reproduced, but in a much smaller scale.
Silkroad Online is a historic/fantasy MMORPG based on the history of China along the famous Silk Road. In this MMO, the Silk Road is carefully reproduced, but in a much smaller scale. Elements of fantasy gaming such as the use of special magical skills and abilities are also integrated. Character creation involves choosing a name, appearance, starting clothing type, and starting weapon. New equipment can be bought from NPC vendors or player-run stalls, with the later tending to have far superior goods. Also, special items can be bought via the Silkroad Online official website's Item Mall using real-world money. Completing quests and killing monsters will yield experience points used to increase skills and levels. Not until level 20 can a player choose a job (merchant, hunter or thief) for their character, though characters can switch between the three jobs at any time with a loss of some job experience points. Job experience points can be used to enhance a particular job and are gained when a character uses their current job on another player's opposing job.
