More on The9
Description from Wikipedia:
The9 Limited () (NASDAQ: NCTY) corporation is a Shanghai-based online game operator which had the exclusive license to operate and distribute World of Warcraft in China (launched in June 2005, it has since become the largest online game), a license they secured after successfully aiding Webzen Games in distributing Mu Online in China. However, in April of 2009, Blizzard has said that the licence has been moved to NetEase.com
Its name is derived from a belief that MMORPGs, and online gaming in general, is the "ninth art" (the other eight being the traditional ones of painting, sculpture, architecture, etc.)
