“Firstly I would like to take this chance to appreciate the great efforts made by government departments for Perfect World’s successful IPO on NASDAQ in July, 2007. The support from the government also built a healthy atmosphere that helped domestic online game developers reach the global capital markets,” Mr. Yufeng Chi, Chairman and CEO of the Company said at the ceremony. “Among our overseas licensing markets, “Perfect World II” is ranked one of Japan’s top free-to-play games and it also attracted a very impressive number of players soon after launching in South Korea. The achievement of “Perfect World II” in South Korea also impressed local developers with Chinese online game developers’ superior originality. “Perfect World II” also topped the “Most Anticipated Games Board” in North America. I am looking forward to see more exceptional performances from Chinese online game developers, to promoting domestic online games, and to becoming world-class game developers in the market.”
