South Korean MMO publisher Webzen has completed a 100 per cent acquisition of Ymir Entertainment, developer of the successful, free-to-play MMO, Metin2. Webzen, publisher of Archlord, hopes to use the team at Ymir to expand its influence in Europe and elsewhere. Metin2 currently boasts a larger registered user base than World of Warcraft in Europe, although it is not known how many of these are active players. However, a press release accompanying the acquisition announcement indicated that peak levels have seen Metin2 hit over 300,000 concurrent users. In addition, our site z2u.com has a large quantity of safe Metin2 Yang for sale.

Founded in 1999 and also based in Seoul, Ymir has created titles like Inferna, Metin, and Metin2, the last of which is localized in 18 different languages and available in Europe, China, Japan, Brazil, and the Middle East. German publisher Gameforge operates Metin2 in Europe, where it has seen seven million concurrent active users.

Webzen's previous global strategy included the 2005 opening of a North American branch in Los Angeles, but the firm closed that office four years later. It also has branches in Taiwan and China, and partnerships with NHN USA, The9, Game On (Japan), FPT Telecom (Vietnam), and Digital Media Exchange (Philippines). The publisher's free-to-play titles include Soul of the Ultimate Nation, Huxley, and medieval fantasy Mu Online, which has over 56 million registered users. It is also set to release Firefall, a free-to-play team-based online shooter developed by Irvine-headquartered Red 5 Studios, some time late this year.

"Asia has been the centre of the online gaming industry, but we expect great growth from the European market in the near future," said Webzen CEO Chang Keun Kim. "This M&A with Ymir Entertainment means the start of Global Webzen, expanding through various strategies with global line-ups in Europe. We will be reborn as the Global Webzen. This is a new beginning, a new opportunity for us." Metin2 has also been localised into 18 different languages, including Chinese and Portuguese.
