Biggest Sign of Success for MMORPGs

Goodness, if this isn't one of the biggest signs of success for MMORPGs, I don't know what is. Check out this headline:

IGXE Prepares to Launch ARGO Online

Now at first the news headline seems innocuous enough but then I realized something - hey IGXE isn't the publisher or the game developer of ARGO Online, what's up with that?

Well it seems that IGXE is actually a Chinese company that sells virtual currencies. So in other words, the Chinese gold farmers and real world traders have realized that ARGO Online is a big hit. They are going to spend their real life money to buy ARGO gold and sell it to players for more real life money.

“Based on our earlier market survey and customer requirements, we believe that ARGO Online will become quite popular, and IGXE.com will not miss this opportunity. Our team has done plenty of preparations for this online game, so that players can enjoy the professional services of Argo Gold and so on in the near future,” Vinson Feen, Manager of IGXE.com said excitedly.

Apparently ARGO Online, one of the best free PvP MMORPGs of 2011, has become popular enough for other services to spring up around it. It's crazy but this is actually a good sign of sorts, don't you agree?

Mini Ninja - Story

Deep in the thorn forest behind the mist of Angel City lays Demon City, a heavily guarded waste land once known for housing the world's most evil warriors.

300 years ago, the evil warriors formed a formidable army - led by the wickedest Demon to ever roam the world - attacking affluent villages in a bid to control the world.

Eventually defeated by Master of the Ninja, the supreme leader of Angel City, the evil warriors, along with their mystic Ninjutsu and a secret plot, were buried, sealed and thought never to return.....until now.

Restless souls in Demon City have awakened and broken free of the seal, escaping the guarded city.

By using forbidden ninjutsu on innocent animals, turning them into puppet warriors, the evils plan to invade Angel City, release their leader and rule the world again. The abuse of forbidden ninjutsu has caused rapid environment deterioration, washing and rocking the land with tsunamis and earthquakes.

As the last hope of the world and the 'chosen one', the player needs to embrace the ways of the ninja, protect Angel City and restore the natural balance of order, utilizing extraordinary ninja skills along the way.
