Rumour : BigWorld games licensing in China – The 9 & Netease

from the Busy day in the East dept.

In what appears to be some significant licensing to-ing and fro-ing, we may be able to shortly confirm the following :

1) Netease (NTES) is publishing the BigWorld-powered ‘Tianxia 2′ in Taiwan through BigWorld licensee, Userjoy.
2) Userjoy themselves are publishing BigWorld-powered Kingdom Heroes II in mainland China through The9.

All of this is assumption and inference at the moment – stay tuned for confirmations.

Opinion : Seeking Alpha – NetEase: Reasons Behind TX2’s Success

Monday, September 28th, 2009, posted by skg

from the We’ve only just begun dept.

Seeking Alpha offers up some initial observations surrounding the strong debut of Netease’s BigWorld powered title, Tian Xia 2:

TX2 reached 245K PCU during first week of open beta. NetEase’s 3D game Tian Xia II (TX2) reached 245000 Peak Concurrent Users (PCU) on September 26, according to my tracking in the chart below. This represents a 32% increase from 185000 on September 19, the day before TX2’s open beta. During this 7-day period, TX2’s server capacity expanded 36% to 53 server groups. These two data points (32% and 36%) show that TX2’s usage level has increased at a similar pace to server additions, and indicate the game’s strong ability to attract new users.
