Tiankonwang is a leading developer and operator of online games in
China. We began operations in 2003 as a multi-player online games
("MMORPG") business unit, before our carve-out as a separate,
stand-alone company in December 2007 and subsequent listing on the
NASDAQ Global Select Market in April 2009. We now operate one of
the most popular MMORPGs in China, and have enjoyed strong growth
in user data and revenues for our games. We have a leading in-house
technology platform that includes our advanced 2.5D and 3D graphics
engine, a uniform game development platform, effective
anti-cheating and anti-hacking technologies, proprietary
cross-networking technology and advanced data protection
technology. Our product development team and game operations team
work closely together to translate game player feedback into game
updates and expansion packs on a timely basis. In addition, our
close relationship with Sohu provides us with unique competitive
advantages including strategic guidance, pre-launch game reviews,
marketing and operational support and access to over 290 million
registered users
