SAN JOSE, CA - October 26, 2007 - Joymax, an independent developer and publisher of interactive entertainment for the global market, has announced today the upcoming release of new pets for its historical massively-multiplayer online role-playing game, Silkroad Online. Available on October 30th, the latest update includes companion animals that will be available for purchase in the game's item mall. Each creature offers a unique ability that will help players face the many perils lurking in Silkroad Online.
The four pets in the update include:
*Cat: An ability pet, the cat aids players by automatically picking up items within range and storing them in its own inventory slots. Ability pets are available for four weeks at a time and cannot be killed in combat.
*Penguin: Growth pets like the penguin provide assistance during battle. At level 40, the penguin will evolve into its final evolutionary stage, proving deadly to any enemies. Like other growth pets, when the penguin is killed, it can be revived with the grass of life.
*Fierce Tiger: The tiger is the finest vehicle pet available, and can carry the player across the Silk Road faster than any horses.
*Five Horned Rhinoceros: Transport pets like the rhinoceros help traders carry goods during trade runs. With increased speed and hit points, the rhinoceros can survive even the most treacherous routes.
Along with these additions, the update includes a new potion that doubles experience points for your pet.
Ok, new pets, more money for JM. Same bots, same lag, but with new pets!... enjoy it (those who can login)

How about just opening up another of those 5 inventory pages for the pets we already have?
And I thought I was the only one who had those nightmares about being attacked by a killer penguin! Thanks for validating my neurosis, JoyMax.

lol cool~ >.>
Kitty is pretty cute and all, I think the penguin is pretty wierd in sro lol. I always thought there should be a tiger/dragon pet to ride though.
I'd much rather have a pet transport for like 130silk thats permanent like a bird or wolf though.

Most likely no. Jm makes more money by 1 silk at a time.
1 silk at every time over 5 years >> 130 silk 1 time
There is still no 3th form of wolf and ksro is at lv100cap
(3th form could be ride, was originally planed)
Just have to look at ksro and you will see the next updates.
90% is silk items updates.
And now they got on the silk item dress road

because penguins played a huge role in ancient chinese, european, and arabic culture.

Just a warning to everyone, the pickup pet cat has the most annoying sound effect in the game.
