The world of Silkroad Online just got a lot bigger, as Joymax has launched the free-to-play fantasy title's eighth expansion. The Mysterious Temple of Jupiter boasts a ton of new content including a level cap increase, new quests, and new community events.
The level cap has been bumped from 110 to 120, and each Silkroad class features brand new skill sets inspired by various Chinese and European arts. The expansion has also added upwards of 60 new quests to the game's ancient Chinese setting, and new hunting grounds for 111th level characters have also arrived.
New dungeons are available for low- and mid-level characters, as are over 100 new monsters and new mob AI that a Joymax press release says will "provide a more active, tactical experience." Finally, events including the Forty Thieves collection contest and the Famous event (wherein players are gifted items based on individual stat and ability increases) will be happening all through the month of August.

I'd love to have a camel mount. Closest thing I have is the LoTRO goat, which is Pure Awesome Sauce.

Vanguard has an ass-kicking camel mount, if camels can be said to kick ass. AoC's got one in the cash shop now too, but I haven't seen it in game as of yet.

I played Silk road years ago, back when it was new (to North America?). To this day, all I really remember is that the cosmetic pets were awesome and would pick up other peoples loot if they left it on the ground... I loved it.
I wish more MMO's would have pets that did that.
I don't remember much about the game other than that, but I sure loved those pets. :P

Looting pets/robots/etc. need to be implemented in more MMORPGs without a doubt. That said they go against skinner box / carrot on a stick / treadmill mechanics of most MMOs so that is an issue.
