Liu Dejian, Chairman and Executive Director of NetDragon, said, “As a major product of NetDragon, Conquer Online, with its authentic oriental style characterized by chivalrous swordsman, has gained wide popularity among players since its launch at home in China and abroad. The brand-new English expansion pack is enriched with innovations such as “steed system” and “clan system” which have been long anticipated by players. I believe Raiding Clans will not only meet the needs of our faithful players, but also enhance NetDragon’s outstanding performance in overseas markets in 2009. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to root itself in R&D, adhere to its tradition of developing overseas markets, and provide its players around the world with more and more wonderful entertainment experiences.”

Since its launch in 2003, Conquer has been operated in the North American market and released in several languages, successively Chinese, English, Spanish, and French, and is played in over 100 countries and regions. With deepened R&D cooperation with global interactive entertainment giants including Disney Online, Electronic Arts and Ubisoft, the Group expects to further open up overseas markets and enable more players to experience the charm of oriental online games.
