Games

Mail.Ru Group is Russia’s leading online games company. We conduct our online games business via our Astrum division.

Our portfolio of online games includes 40 MMO games and 47 games for social networking sites.

Our MMO games are games played in “virtual worlds” hosted by networked game servers in which thousands of players can simultaneously connect and interact to play the game. Our portfolio of MMO games currently includes internally developed games such as Allods Online and Legend: Legacy of the Dragons, as well as localised Russian versions of games licensed from third parties, including Perfect World, Crossfire and LOTRO. As of July 2010, 21 of 34 active MMO games were developed internally.

We also operate games for social networking sites we develop internally or via external teams of programmers or license from third parties. We also collaborate with third-party developers of social games that make these games available to our online social networking audience through our open API platforms. As of August 2010, 890 applications were available on My World and 130 applications were available on OK, most of which are games. As of August 2010, we offered more than 30 social games that were either internally developed or licensed by our Astrum online division in our various social networking platforms.
