In 2005, we will be broadening our reach into casual games, which attract a wider range of users than MMORPG players. Initially, we will be launching a platform of nine multi-player games, such as billiards, card games and mahjong. We anticipate selling virtual items, such as options for changing the appearance of the game-play or advanced tools which players can use in the game, utilizing our prepaid point system.
