Asia's Biggest MMOG: FIFA Online 2
Posted on 23:54 by Maria Scott
Ask Electronic Arts or Konami about their bestselling sports title worldwide and chances are they'll bring up their respective soccer titles: the FIFA and Winning Eleven series (Pro Evolution Soccer for the latter if you live in North America). Both games represent the best aspects of video game soccer to a point where both franchises have their own divided fan base.
Naturally, a free-to-play version of this kind of game would blow any sports fan's mind. Such a notion exists, as FIFA Online 2 have been around since 2006 and tailor-made for casual Asian PC users with a particular affinity for the sport.
Overview: Released in Korea on 2006, FIFA Online 2 answers the question on what would happen if World of Warcraft and FIFA 06 had a baby together and made it available for free. The game plays like your standard soccer title and uses the FIFA 07 game engine; originally the game came out using the FIFA 06 engine.
The game is published by EA and developed by Neowiz Games and EA Singapore. Primary distributors and licence holders of the game are IAHGames, GameOn, Pmang (a game channel owned by Neowiz Games), and Chinese game operators The9.
FIFA Online 2 should not be confused with the 2010 title FIFA Online, which came out on January 30. That title officially shut down on March 25, 2011. We have yet to confirm as to why FIFA Online 2 was initially titled as such since it first launched in 2006.
