US, July 28, 2009 - IRVINE, Calif. - Joymax, an independent developer and publisher of interactive entertainment for the global market, today announced the launch of the "Clean Campaign" in fantasy MMORPG Silkroad Online. Through a brand new internet robot (aka "bot") detecting system, Joymax will identify and restrict all Silkroad Online accounts associated with illegal automatic hunting programs. The campaign is designed to alleviate server congestion and enable players to enter the game with greater ease.

"We strive to provide a high-quality gaming experience for Silkroad Online players," said Jina Song, General Manager at Joymax. "Through this campaign, we will be addressing the technical challenges posed by bots, and improving the performance of the servers for our community."
