China's MMORPG Online Gaming Market

China had 25.3 million paying online gamers at the end of 2005, according to Pacific Epoch's 2006 China's Online Game Report. A pre-release version of the report is now available.

The 2006 report focuses on massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) in China, as low barriers to entry and very low user-stickiness make casual games a poor source of main revenues.
