World Cyber Games opens WCGZone.com
SEOUL, May 17, 2006 – The world’s largest
computer and video game festival, World Cyber Games,
today opens WCGZone.com
(www.wcgzone.com),
a gamers’ paradise where worldwide gamers can play
year-round online matches under the WCG title and
access clans, as well as online community activities.
WCGZone.com consists of three main services – 1)
year-round online matches for Starcraft®,
Brood WarTM,
and Warcraft®
III, 2) accessibility to players’
rankings/replay file service, and 3) online forums
that are open to global gamers.
All gamers are welcome to join the WCGZone.com and
compete with other people through the WCG server in
Battle.net by simply installing ‘GamOn’, the launching
program of WCG online matches.
In addition to providing year-round online matches and
gamers’ rankings, WCGZone.com is designed to
strengthen gamers’ online communities by providing a
replay file uploading board and online forums where
gamers can share opinions regarding strategies and the
newest gaming information. To facilitate community
services, WCGZone.com supports solutions for eight
languages including English, Chinese, Korean, and soon
will be implementing a multi-language service expanded
to all services in WCGZone.com.
“WCGZone.com is designed for gamers to enjoy games
throughout the year and to exchange opinions,“ said
Hoon Kim, the head of WCG operations. “WCGZone.com is
also a solution for WCG strategic partners to reduce
the expenses they have in running national online
preliminaries in specific territories. Through
discussion and collaboration with strategic partners
in WCG participating countries, we will further
explore ways to connect WCG Global rankings into all
national preliminaries, strengthen the multi-language
service, and expand the year-round online matches in
other WCG official games -
Half-Life®: Counter-Strike 1.6
and
FIFA Soccer 06 TM
.
Meanwhile, ICM will be offering various online events
for new members, including ‘Register to Win,’ ‘Bugfinder,’
and ‘Spread the Word’ to celebrate the WCGZone.com
launch. Detailed information on WCGZone.com events can
