IRVINE, Calif. - Nov. 24, 2009
Joymax, an independent developer and publisher of interactive entertainment for the global market, today announced that pre-paid cards for in-game currency can now be found at select BLOCKBUSTER locations across the United States. The cards are available in increments of $10, and can be used to purchase in-game currency for each of Joymax’s titles available in the United States, including Silkroad Online, Deco Online and Darkeden.
“We are constantly looking for new ways to provide our players with easy access to in-game content,” said Jina Song, General Manager at Joymax. "Working with InComm and Blockbuster ensures that our players will have convenient access to purchasing in-game currency for decking out their game characters in style."
Joymax owns and operates several highly successful massively multiplayer online games that are completely free to download and play, which are monetized through the sale of virtual items. Using the newly released pre-paid cards, players can purchase in-game currency for each game operated by Joymax and use the currency to acquire a wide variety of gear from the in-game item malls, from unique avatar outfits to powerful buffs and character upgrades.
"By working with Joymax to launch their pre-paid in-game currency cards, we're providing them with a valuable new revenue stream for their business," said Brian Parlotto, Senior Vice President of Consumer Products and International at InComm. "Additionally, this partnership provides us with the opportunity to further expand our business in the gaming sector and strengthen our relationships with leading retailers such as Blockbuster.”
