Video games may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about China. But in reality, the gaming market there is huge. Online games in particular are booming due to the massive number of people on the Net. One Internet service provider alone has 83 million subscribers -- 83 million! That's an amazing number and it's growing every day. Over the past six years, online connectivity in China has risen a staggering 600%. Current estimates are that in a few years China will have more people online than the rest of the world combined.

We went to China to demonstrate our commitment to the international community. While EverQuest is available in China, we didn't enter the market until the game had been out for a while. Our goal is to be more timely with EverQuest II.
