Wonderland Online: Interview with the Product Manager

What makes Wonderland Online stand apart from the other IGG games?

Wonderland Online (http://wl.igg.com/) differs from other IGG games for many reasons. For example, its unique Interior Decoration system, which is not available in most MMORPGs at present.

Players in Wonderland Online (http://wl.igg.com/) can obtain a tent by finishing a simple quest and then manufacturing all kinds of furniture with the help of the Manufacturing System. These kinds of furniture are not only decorations, but also relate directly to the game. For example, the Bathtub can help restore players’ HP and the Hearth can be used to cook all kinds of food. In addition, players can take the tent with them everywhere at any moment. If players would like to hold a party, they can invite their friends as well. The Interior Decoration system has attracted many players.

Is there a concern that players will consider Wonderland just another IGG game, but with a new skin?

There are two kinds of MMORPGs published by IGG. Some are cute titles such as Tales of Pirates and Angels Online. The others are realistic ones such as Zu Online and Voyage Century Online. Although Wonderland Online (http://wl.igg.com/) falls into the category of a cute MMORPG, its detailed background story distinguishes it from the others. The story begins with a group of tourists being rushed to a strange, mysterious island because of a shipwreck. They then are able to create shelter and the means to leave the island and travel all over the world. In addition to the background stories, the unique Interior Decoration system, the Manufacturing system, the Fishing system and the Friends system are all very popular with many players. The game world of Wonderland Online is a harmonious community where players can make friends and help each other.

In a world of evolving graphics what is the purpose of going to a 2D style?

The design idea of the game is a very important element for both 3D MMORPGs and 2D MMORPGs. The game engine technology then helps developers fulfill their design ideas. No matter what the game is, it can offer players a wonderful gaming experience and develop its own group of loyal players if it is unique enough. Although Wonderland Online (http://wl.igg.com/) is a 2D MMORRPG, it has many amazing systems that set it apart from other games, such as the unique Interior Decoration system, the Compound system and the comfortable Friends system, which offer players more fun.

Will there be PVP in Wonderland Online?

In Wonderland Online (http://wl.igg.com/), players can choose to PK with others or not. By opening the PK switch in the system settings, players can PK with others anywhere at any time. Meanwhile, some system events in which many players are involved, such as the Trojan War and Band of Brothers are available for players as well.

If a guild wins the Trojan War, all online guild members during the event can obtain rewards from officials. In addition, they have the right to challenge the BOSS and enjoy the fun brought by the special training. Players who win in the Band of Brothers event can obtain corresponding titles as well. These events offer players more fun than simple PVP.

How well do think the casual gamer fare in Wonderland Online?

The Interior Decoration system, the Manufacturing system, the Fishing system, the Pet system and the Guild system in Wonderland Online (http://wl.igg.com/) can meet these casual gamers’ requirements.

The game contains the development of science and technology in real life. With the help of a tent and the manufacturing system, players can manufacture all kinds of furniture, food, equipment and vehicles. They can even make a UFO by themselves. If they would like, players can enjoy fishing with friends or sending their friends an E-mail or chatting in the channel to share fun. Of course, players can invite their friends and hold a party in the tent. If they would like to travel, they can take their cool pets with them and travel all over the world. Isn’t that amazing? It is exciting to imagine that we can make items by ourselves which can are available in real life.

In regards to quests, will players be required to group together to defeat any high bosses?

Generally speaking, characters with different attributes in a group can defeat a strong BOSS more easily. This aims to enhance players’ cooperation and improve the balance of the game. However, not all quests have such requirements, because every player has their own pets which can help them complete some quests easily.
