CDC Games, a business unit of CDC Corporation and a pioneer of the
"free-to-play, pay for merchandise" model for online games in China, announced
today that it has launched an expansion pack for Lunia Gold , its massively
multiplayer online role-playing action game (MMORPG) based on the popular manga
style comic art form, in China.
Since CDC Games launchedLunia Gold in China on March 6, 2009, it has already has
attracted more than one million registered users. The Expansion Pack features
four additional episodes and new quests, a slime amphitheater as a new game
mode, and a new and free character class named Krieg El Hati (The Templar). New
merchandise items and two new zones, allowing 12 players at the same time, have
also been added.
"CDC Games has looked forward to launching its first action arcade MMORPG in
China, which further expands our games portfolio," said John Huen, chief
operating officer of CDC Games. "We believe that Lunia Gold is beginning to generate
a stable pool of repeat players as we believe this differentiated style of game
offers a more unique experience than most other traditional MMORPGs. Lunia Gold is an
established game in several global markets that we expect will feature several
future content updates, including our recent new addition. With solid server
performance to date, and the expected continuation of upgrades, we believe that
we may see an increase in players in the months ahead. With our unified games
platform, we also are lowering the cost of acquiring new players by focusing on
improving our cross promotion and data mining activities. We also intend to
continue with our diversification strategy."
Lunia, which was developed by Korea-based ALLM Co., Ltd., is based on the manga
style of Japanese comics which is widely popular throughout the world. We
believe that Lunia Gold offers a new style of game play differing from most MMORPGs
by mixing elements of action games and role-play games (RPGs) together. Players
use their keyboard`s arrow keys rather than a mouse. The game features stylish
