# Electus Online

> Electus Online is a long-running Silkroad Online private server community, active since 2015. It operates seasonal Silkroad servers (a new one launches roughly every 6 months), with a $50,000 USD seasonal prize pool, balanced PvP and PvE, and silk that transfers across all live Electus servers.

Electus Online is one of the longest continuously running Silkroad Online private server projects. The team launches a new seasonal server approximately every 6 months — each season ships its own level cap, race composition (European / Chinese), rates and content focus. Players who buy or earn silk on one server keep that silk usable across all live Electus servers. The community is multilingual (English, Turkish, Vietnamese, Brazilian Portuguese) and tens of thousands of players have participated across seasons.

The project is free to play. There is an optional in-game silk shop for cosmetics and convenience, and silk can also be earned in-game through events, jobbing, uniques and ranking rewards.
