Seoul, Korea — Joymax, an online game developer and publisher widely known for longstanding quality titles including Silkroad Online and Digimon Masters, revealed on October 23, details of the battle, power, and glory behind the legendary “Excalibur” in the recently released MMORPG, Knight Age. Players can start now by downloading and playing the game for free here.

“Excalibur” – the legendary sword filled with mystical power – is a well known fable and beloved story, and within Knight Age it exists to bring both power and glory to the most deserving knight. But players shouldn’t expect this legendary weapon to sit idly for passerby’s to test its worthiness; in Knight Age, to wield the legendary Excalibur players must fight for it.

Excalibur represents three key components in Knight Age: the battle for the weapon, the power it imbues to its wielder, and ultimately its glory. The battle for Excalibur is a PVP battle against 100 knights that begins once per day when the elusive sword appears in the middle of a mysterious lake. All participating players, regardless of their level, will be transported to a special battlefield in which the goal is to run to the center of the lake and successfully pull out the Excalibur sword.

However, this task is neither easy nor possible on its first try. A mixture of talent and choice will help as players continue attempting to free Excalibur. Additionally, the player must also defend it from other on-coming players. Whether by luck or skill, the end reward for pulling free the legendary Excalibur will be worth the battle scars.

The one to hold Excalibur is given with a special buff known as “Blessed by the Sword.” This buff will allow the wielder to land a critical hit for every swing the wielder makes and also naturally heals the wielders’ health and mana points even during battle.

This power is envied by many and can prove too much to handle by a single knight; thus it will return to its place in the center of the lake for the next day. Not all is lost when the sword leaves the master’s side, because the knight will be bestowed with glory through a title for once possessing the legendary weapon.

Though many titles exist within Knight Age for everything, from leveling up to making friends, only those who have brandished the Excalibur are given the honor to hold the title “Blessed by the Sword.” Titles are not simply names but they also hold power within. Owning the rare title “Blessed by the Sword” earns players special buffs to their stats which are permanent to their character, not to mention pretty awesome to show off your achievement to others.

For those who wish to experience the legendary Excalibur or prove their worth in a battle against a hundred strong, now is the time to join Knight Age through the Knight Age’s Official Website at http://www.joymax.com/knightage/.

October 12, 2012–  Joymax, leading online game developer and publisher widely known for longstanding quality titles including Silkroad Online and Digimon Masters, today unveiled the second major update to their fan favorite fantasy MMORPG, Knight Age. Arriving next week, Siege Warfare will add a new dimension to gameplay and present a new PVP challenge to players.

Siege Warfare: a colossal PVP battle between the Orders of Knights (Guilds) as they battle to take over a castle is the most intense PVP experience Knight Age has offered to date. These weekly skirmishes take place every Sunday, and leaders of each Order must apply for the chance to compete at nearby NPCs.

Orders must pool their gold resources together not only to be eligible for the fight, but also for position – bribes, known officially as bids – are taken by the Siege NPC and the highest “bidder” will win the closest spot to the castle. A closer spot does not guarantee victory: teamwork can overcome a less skilled Order, even if they are closer.

So, how does one become a victor? The warfare lasts an hour and it is up to the players to earn as many points within this allotted time. Points are earned by touching the Crystal – the longer a team maintains contact with the Crystal, the more points they are awarded. However, being in direct contact with the Crystal also leaves the Knights open to direct attacks. Fight or conquer? It is up to each Order to choose their war strategy.

The ultimate reward for winning the Siege is becoming the Lord of Tintagel Castle. Not only are all members of the winning Order of Knights given access to this exclusive fortress, the leader controls all taxes placed upon the people in the Knight Age world. Their choice to increase or lower taxes will directly affect the in-game economy.

Higher taxes may depress the economy and heighten all item prices, though lower taxes may provide poor income, so finding a good balance will be a challenge. Inside Tintagel Castle is also an exclusive merchant found nowhere else in the kingdom, who sells high level items found only inside Tintagel. These rewards can be used to defend their keep during the next Siege Warfare, when the castle once again becomes neutral territory.

Conquering a castle won’t be easy, but the rewards quickly add up; is your Order royal enough to withstand temptation? With plenty of events, regular content updates, Knights will have more and more to do within the realm of Knight Age. Sign up now for a free account at Knight Age’s Official Website.

As always, Knight Age’s thriving community can be accessed via the game’s forums, or on the official Knight Age Facebook with over 17,000 fans or on Twitter @KnightAgeOnline.

To get a foothold in this on-coming battle, players must begin their preparation starting today by visiting the Knight Age Official Website http://www.joymax.com/knightage/.
