These Are China's Biggest Online Games
January 01, 0001 | By **A. Sinclair**
China’s online game market is breaking sales records year-on-year in the world’s most populous nation. In 2013, this market alone is poised to make over $11 billion, according to Gameindustry.biz. But which are country’s favorite online games? Let’s take a look.
Left without a console market due to the exorbitant prices of consoles (and a console ban), many Chinese players turned to online games, many of which can be played in internet cafes. The following list takes a look at five of China’s top MMO’s. This list is comprised of a mix-match from polls found on Tencent and NetEase, two of China’s largest internet companies and game 75r publishers. The following list only includes one game that isn’t wholly Chinese. This list is also in no particular order.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1466552827","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"kotaku-east","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"kotaku-east","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); League of Legends Developer: Riot Games Genre: Multiplayer Online Battle Arena The only game on this list that’s not exclusively made by a Chinese company, League of Legends is hugely popular in China. Basically a similar game to Defence of the Ancients, LoL is a hero battler mixed with tower defense. This is arguably the most famous game on this list so I won’t bother insulting 75r com anyone’s intelligence by poorly explaining what a MOBA is. The other reason why LoL is on this list while all the other games are Chinese made is because Chinese internet giant Tencent has a major stake in developer Riot Games.
Long Jian 龍劍 (Dragon’s Sword Online) Developer: NetEase Games Genre: MMORPG Originally released in 2012 as an open Beta, Long Jian was supposed to be NetEase’s answer to “next-generation” graphics. The game’s system was supposed to have 
high dynamic-range rendering akin to that of Unreal Engine 3. The game is very similar to your basic MMO like World of Warcraft but based in a romanticised mythical East Asian world.
QQ Speed Developer: Tencent QQ Games Genre: Kart Racer Tencent’s cutesy kart racer is Tencent’s answer to and clone of the ever popular Korean cart racer PopKart. This game is incredibly popular for its level of customization. Players can customise their avatar and their karts, either by winning in-game currency or trading real money for Tencent’s QQ Coin currency. Fantasy Westward Journey 梦幻西游 Developer: NetEase Genre: MMORPG Probably the oldest game on the list, Fantasy Westward Journey is cartoonified rendition of the world of “Journey to the West”. The game has been so popular that at one point the amount of money it made off of micro-transactions brought it the attention of western media, such as Forbes. The game is still going strong even though it’s been around since 2004.
天龍八部 (Demi-gods and Semi-Devils) Developer: Sohu Games Genre: MMORPG Using Louis Cha’s martial arts fantasy novel Demi-gods and Semi-devils as the background, this martial arts-based MMORPG has been around since 2007. The game, while looking and playing 
like every other Chinese MMO, has been on the best lists 
of Chinese online sites for many many years. I personally don’t really understand why, but Chinese gamers seem to consider it one of the greats.

Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
