MOB OF DANCING KNIGHTS TRIGGER OFFICIAL RELEASE

Knight Age Official Launch Packed With New Contents,

Raised Level Cap, And Events

Seoul, Korea, September 4, 2012— Joymax, known to service online games globally (most famed being Silkroad Online & Digimon Masters), commences its official release of the free-to-play MMORPG, Knight Age, today! The game completed its Open Beta Test which started on August 28th. In response to the fevered interests, including mobs of knights dancing in an in-game square, OBT came to a close after a short week and jumped straight into official release.

Knight Age, 3D Fantasy MMORPG with its unique Riding-Action game, experienced a greater hype in OBT than in CBT; exclusively being reviewed in popular sites, such as Massively.com and MMOSite.com. OBT was highly praised by the players for its massive content updates and event-packed opening. Knight Age even carried a surprise in-game event, inviting all players to an exclusive dance party starring the GM (who looked eerily similar to a certain globally famous k-pop star) as the guest.

Players can expect more exciting grand updates with today’s official release – a raised level cap, new mounts and Pupa to collect, a whole new dungeon, heaps of new events that never leave a dull moment for the players, and it’s free!

From Closed Beta Test to Open Beta Test, the highest level a player could achieve in Knight Age was level 24. However, today’s official release raises the level cap to 35 which means more quests and monsters! Open Beta data is carried over to the official release so even maxed out characters will have a hand full for a long time!

Knight Age’s prime feature (and Knight Age Facebook poll’s no. 1 interest) is its unique riding-action where battles are mainly commenced on mounts. Rides can be raised and strengthened with skills to befit the player’s taste; whether it be fighting bosses or competing in PVP. With additional mounts added in the official release, it will be up to the player to find the right partner for the adventure.

Another unique distinction of Knight Age is the pet system, also known as Pupa. With the right nurturing and training these pets will become your trusty battle companions. Among the various Pupae to choose from, they can be collected and even combined to create Pupae possessing greater power. The array of Pupae grows further with the official release, meaning there will be more to collect and combine for surprising results!

Furthermore dungeons will be added and enhanced. The dungeons will not only include enemies and bosses to battle, but puzzles that require players to use both their skills and brain. As the game also includes a ‘Looking For Group’ system, players can quickly gather together similar leveled allies to conquer these more challenging game sections.

Despite the OBT lasting only one week, it was packed with 11 different events for players to participate in. Expect to see 10 different events for the official release including fighting for Excalibur on a PVP battle and taking picture-perfect shots of the dungeon bosses. These events also signify the player’s last chance to earn a brand new laptop or a full gaming set (keyboard, headphones, mouse). All it takes is a simple registration through Knight Age Official Website: http://bit.ly/GKAPortalPR_0904

Knight Age is full of activity, both on Facebook and in-game, with GMs ready to answer your call for help (or have a friendly chat) 24/7 and surprise events popping out everywhere. There will never be a mundane moment in Knight Age, and again, it’s free-to-play!

Players looking for all the juiciest tidbits, such as daily game information, character tips, and plenty of screen shots can check out Knight Age’s Facebook at http://bit.ly/GKAFB_0904, or Twitter at @OfficialKnightAge.

WD® Introduces Its Fastest My Book® External HDD System Ever

Sydney, Australia – September 04, 2012 – WD®, a subsidiary of Western Digital Corporation, and a world leader in external storage and connected home solutions, is combining two high-speed technologies to produce one of the fastest and most robust dual-storage systems ever offered. Supported by the Mac OS X operating system, the new My Book® VelociRaptor™ Duo dual-drive storage system becomes the ultimate storage drive for performance hungry Mac computer users and creative professionals.

My Book VelociRaptor Duo provides ultimate speed and performance with two 1 TB 10,000 RPM WD VelociRaptor drives along with two Thunderbolt™ ports. The 2 TB dual-drive storage system is ideal for editing high resolution video, 3D rendering, graphic design, and other demanding digital media applications. This boost in performance delivers solid state drive (SSD) -like data transfer rates of up to 400 MB/s for greater work-flow productivity. The dual-drive storage system offers RAID 0 for performance or RAID 1 for protection; and the twin Thunderbolt ports offer daisy-chaining multiple My Book VelociRaptor Duo drives and other high performance peripherals without impacting data transfer speeds or performance. The My Book VelociRaptor Duo also comes complete with a Thunderbolt cable in the box and is user-serviceable.

Photographers, graphic designers and post-production professionals can conduct several high intensity tasks such as video editing and 3D rendering, while completing other graphics-intensive projects. My Book VelociRaptor Duo customers will now have the ability to transfer 22 GB full-length HD movies in less than 65 seconds, 2000 5 MB pictures in less than 33 seconds and over 500 5 MB songs in less than 8 seconds.

“The My Book VelociRaptor Duo is the fastest and most reliable high performance consumer storage device on the market today,” explains Jody Bradshaw, senior director of WD’s consumer storage solutions group.  “Creative professionals now have access to a super-charged storage drive that will keep pace with even the most demanding projects. Daisy-chaining multiple My Book VelociRaptor Duo devices together offers even greater speed, more capacity and flexibility.”

While RAID 0 maximizes the drive’s speed and capacity, RAID 1 support allows users to create a second copy of their digital content on the drive for added protection, security and peace of mind. The drive also provides a JBOD (just a bunch of disks) option for users running a Windows® operating system on a Mac.

Additional features found on the My Book VelociRaptor Duo dual-drive storage system include out-of-the-box compatibility with Apple Time Machine and HFS + Journaled for Mac computers; capability for multi-stream workflows; and a 3-year limited warranty.

The 3D Fantasy MMORPG with its unique Riding-Action feature, Knight Age, first grew a loyal following when it started its closed beta test.  The Knight Age community exploded in open beta with fan sites forming left and right and creative guilds naming themselves “Gangnam Style” to befit the mounted battle feature. In response to the fevered interest, the open beta comes to a close and jumps straight into official release!

“We have made all the necessary changes and adjustments following our Closed Beta Test,” Nam-Chul Kim, CEO of Joymax.  “We spent a month before starting the Open Beta Test fine-tuning the game so now we are confident it is ready and prepared for official release.”

With the official release players who joined in open beta will be able to carry their characters over.  In addition, players can look forward to all-new content and events.

Unique Riding-Action Battle

Knight Age’s prime feature (and the feature Facebook fans voted their #1 feature) is the unique riding-action feature where battles occur on mounts. Mounts can be raised and strengthened with skills to befit the player’s taste. There was already a variety of mounts to choose from but with the official release players will find even more.

Another unique distinction in Knight Age is the Pupa. These pets will become each player’s trusty battle companion depending on how they are nurtured. With a variety of Pupa to choose from, they can be collected and even combined to create an even stronger Pupa. Just like the newly added mounts, players can expect additional amounts of Pupa added for the official release.

Dungeons

One of the overlooked features of Knight Age is its unique dungeons.  With the official launch there will be even more to explore. Dungeons include not only enemies, but puzzles that require players to use both their skill and brain.  As the game also includes a “looking for group” system, players can quickly gather together similar leveled allies to conquer these more challenging game sections.

With the official launch Joymax is celebrating with a slew of new events with great prizes; including a brand new laptop and a full gaming set (keyboard, headphones and mouse)!
