China opens wallet to homegrown online game

China's first domestically developed game, "Legend of Knights Online," hit 80,000 paid simultaneous players last week, a positive sign for the growing Chinese software industry in a Korean-dominated market.

The Beijing-based company behind the game, Kingsoft, said it needed several hundred Internet servers to meet demand. Kingsoft has updated 30 versions of the game during the two months of the market test period, something they say overseas companies could not have responded to as quickly, reported the People's Daily, a Chinese daily.

"Legend of Knights Online" is based on popular Chinese martial arts and Chinese-style love affairs. The "Xia," Chinese warriors, draw on local mythology rather than western-mythos monsters and soldiers.
