It's certainly not everyday we hear that a game has been launched in the Arabic language here at Massively, but we guess that today is one of those days! The free to play title Silkroad Online has gone the distance and has translated their game into Arabic.
To help celebrate the new translation, the entire international Silkroad community is getting two events with real world prizes. The first event, which is less of an event and more of a raffle, gives you between two and ten contest tickets each time you purchase cash for their item shop. If your contest ticket is pulled, you could win prizes including an 8 gig iPod Nano or a brand new laptop.
The second event, which is more of an event, is to level a character from one to 40 before March 2nd. If you successfully make it, you'll get entered into a separate raffle. Prizes here include 10,000 skill points for a character to spend on increasing your skills, Seal of Moon grade weaponry for your characters, or a brand new PSP.
For all of the information on these two events, check out the Silkroad main page.

Hope they don't need a lot of bandwidth because internet service in the Middle East SUCKS. Just a step above dialup and ten times more expensive.

I knew why Iraq's sucked. I wonder why Bahrain was so bad. I've heard Iran is awful too.
I only tried Kuwait once at the airport hotel. Not only was it awful but every other website was blocked.
Two times while I was there, a dragged anchor in Egypt cut internet services to almost nothing (pulled some fiberoptic cable).

As someone who lives in the middle east I must agree with mpdivo, internet connection of 5 mega costs like internet connection of 10 mega in most of the other countries, also, if you really wanna play well and play games/surf on internet webs that their servers aren't located in your country you have to buy something that called "gamers pack"...
