Riot Games taps Pando Networks for League of Legends distribution

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Clearly Riot Games’ has one hot title on their hands. League of Legends has received accolade after accolade, and Riot has struck some strategic partnerships that have placed the free-to-play title at the forefront of gamers’ interest lists. Apparently, they’ve done such a good job, that they’ve been struggling to get the title out the door. Announced in conjunction with this years’ upcoming GDC event in San Francisco, Riot Games has officially partnered with Pando Networks to handle the growing demand for League of Legends.

Pando Networks’ main premise is that they optimize (read: speed up) the delivery of downloadable content. Likewise, the firm provides detailed analytics and performance data to their clients. At the present time, Pando Networks counts more than 5 million game downloads per month amongst their services provided. Riot has chosen Pando Networks’ Game Delivery Services in order to support the growth and popularity of their flagship title, League of Legends. And while Pando’s “off the rack” solutions are powerful in their own right, Riot decided to go with a fully customized solution, enabling the 1 GB title to be downloaded in a matter of minutes, and not days. Pando Networks/Riot Games is fully accessible via PC and Mac, in the US, Europe, and Asia.

“The combination of faster download speeds with an intuitive user experience and a reliable download solution regardless of network constraints has proven successful for Riot,” said Scott Gelb, vice president of technology for Riot Games. “We now convert more website visitors to gamers which has had a big impact on the number of people playing our game.”

Since implementing the Pando Networks solution, Riot Games is reporting an increased delivery speed and download completion rate, with an average download speed of over 1,200KBps, and download completion rate of 90%. This may not seem like a magical number of paper, but when you consider the wide variety of internet connections used, quality of line service, and platform, these speeds and completion rate are very healthy. And remember, as a free-to-play title, obviously the faster (and complete) a download arrives at a potential customers’ doorstep, the higher the potential of converting them to a paying customer.

“Riot Games is one of the hottest online game companies today,” said Robert Levitan, CEO of Pando Networks. “While Pando works with many of the leading free2play game companies around the globe, we have rarely seen such an enthusiastic response to a game as we have seen for League of Legends. We are proud to be providing our scalable solution that successfully meets the demand for such a popular game.”

fatfoogoo getting serious about social

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Throughout our lifespan, fatfoogoo has created a number of monetization and payment platforms and options for a wide range of gaming companies. In 2006, when Martin Herdina and Daniel Petri set out to make a virtual marketplace for the trading and purchasing of virtual goods and services, the initial idea was to provide a marketplace for consumers to meet and trade/sell in-game virtual items and services. While this platform proved to be successful with gamers, game operators made it clear that they would rather keep a tighter hold on what was and what was not being traded within their titles. Et Viola, the modern version of today’s fatfoogoo was born with a white label services and technology model. And while there are a number of ‘traditional’ games and titles that we provide our services to, the undeniable growth and popularity of social games, as well as a number of other browser based games, has been certainly something we’ve been looking at for quite a while now.

ff_logo_whiteSpeaking to Justin Smith of insidesocialgames.com last week, Martin states, “We’ve been working with social app and game developers since the end of 2008, as the requirements are very similar to classical online game business models. The first social networking project we did was to provide store, white-label payments and virtual currencies for the avatar engine mEgo, now we are just working with Gogogic on powering Vikings of Thule – and some really exciting social apps/games projects are currently under the hood.”

As Smith states, we are based in Vienna, Austria, miles away from some of traditional games development hotbeds, we’ve also established offices in the UK and the US, with our very own Stevie Case running point on working closely with North American operators/developers.

“Our technology is purely international, so it’s capable of supporting multi-languages, multi currencies, multi-byte character-sets and different VAT-rates,” Herdina says. “However, in terms of business development we are mostly focusing on talking to potential partners in North America and Europe.”

Realizing that while social gaming might share a number of traditional facets, it also takes on it’s own brand of monetization. Specifically, in-game advertising can often be relied on as a primary means of revenues. To this end, we’ve partnered with a number of managed offer platforms in order to facilitate this monetization mechanism. “We treat offers as an alternative payment option, and therefore work with quite a few offer providers in different regions to ensure ideal coverage, like PayBuyPartner, AdParlor, GratisPay, and SponsorPay,” Herdina says.

With this particular attention turned out social games, naturally, facilitating the ease, and variety of payment options is key. We’ve partnered with a number of payment providers specifically focused on social games in order to ensure the highest levels of both client and customer satisfaction. Payment options include credit cards, direct debits, mobile payments, and prepaid cards, to name a few.

“We are expecting our ongoing and future projects in the social app/game space to contribute a significant part to our success in 2010,” Herdina says.

If you’re headed to the Browser Games Forum in Frankfurt this November, Martin will be speaking and available for questions both days.  To have a better look into who we are and what we offer, please visit our solutions section.

fatfoogoo Powers mEgo’s New Virtual Goods Storefront

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

fatfoogoo’s Microtransaction Ecosystem Bolsters mEgo’s Avatar Engine,
Tapping into the Rapidly Growing and Lucrative Virtual Goods Market

fatfoogoo, the leading provider of in-game and online commerce ecosystems, today announced it is powering mEgo’s smart virtual goods marketplace, where users can style, animate and accessorize their online personal profile. mEgo is a first-of-its-kind, portable multimedia profile aggregator designed to manage and integrate one’s online identity into a highly personalized avatar through a patent pending user interface.  More than 1.25 million mEgos are currently found on more than 650 social networks, including Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Flickr.  With added customization and content purchase abilities made possible by fatfoogoo’s commerce technology, mEgo is participating in the highly lucrative market for virtual goods. Already part of a growing trend, the Gartner Group predicts that in 2011, more than 80% of active Internet users will have an avatar.

mego_logo_rasterWith fatfoogoo’s commerce system, mEgo users can purchase a vast number of virtual goods – such as clothes, accessories, background displays, animations and featured content – available in the storefront on mEgo.com or its integrated websites.  The smart storefront allows users to dress by brand, theme, price-point, popularity, auction and rarity.  Through the mEgo user interface, consumers click on the virtual good on the avatar to learn more about the item and click-through to purchase the real-world item.

fatfoogoo is the leading monetization software provider handling microtransactions, subscriptions, virtual currencies, e-wallets, goods trading and more. Its core competencies matched mEgo’s needs – supporting global online transactions with expertise in telecom, an area of growth for mEgo. mEgo and its new virtual goods marketplace will soon be available on mobile devices, including the iPhone, as well on IM services.

“The immense undertaking in managing mEgo’s storefront filled with limitless items, global currency exchange and staying true to a particular brand was easily accomplished with fatfoogoo’s commerce platform,” said Martin Herdina, co-founder and CEO, fatfoogoo. “As the virtual goods industry rapidly expands beyond virtual worlds to casual and hardcore games, online stores and social networks like mEgo, companies depend on our technology and experience to increase the key factors for success – low fraud rate, global economic management and shortened development time. It literally pays to outsource commerce needs.”

By outsourcing the marketplace to fatfoogoo, mEgo was able to quickly have a robust virtual goods offering.  More importantly, with fatfoogoo’s technology and best practices, mEgo can rely on low fraud rates and international monetary compliance.

mego_pay

“We are very excited to work with fatfoogoo and provide our users with a proven and tangible global commerce solution,” said Ariel McNichol, mEgo co-founder and co-CEO.  “Tapping into fatfoogoo’s e-commerce platform, our virtual goods storefront has come to market six months to a year sooner than if we had to build the system ourselves – a win-win for everyone.”

As the company solves the problem of having to create and maintain different profiles on multiple social networks and sites, it keeps its leading edge with the launch of its new online storefront and additional avatar functionality. mEgo is currently developing a contextual suggestion feature that will tap into profile data to offer users relevant utilities, content and products.

In recent news, fatfoogoo announced its partnership with Digital River. Combined, the two companies will provide on-demand e-commerce and in-game commerce for publishers on a global scale. Additionally, fatfoogoo is the exclusive provider of in-game commerce for Rebel Monkey’s virtual world, CampFu, now with more than 100,000 players. Its white-label commerce system is a custom turnkey solution for publishers and developers that want to enhance the online experience for gamers or online users in any industry.

Video: Interview with Margaret Wallace of Rebel Monkey – creators of CampFu

Friday, May 29th, 2009

I had the fortunate experience to sit down with Margaret Wallace, CEO and Co-founder of Rebel Monkey recently, and discuss not only their hit virtual world CampFu, but where Rebel Monkey comes from, youth oriented virtual worlds, microtransactions and much more!

Speaking to the fact that the youth oriented virtual world space is becoming increasingly crowded, Margaret presents Rebel Monkey’s take on how and why CampFu stands out in the crowd.  “We really wanted to focus on cooperative gaming.  We really wanted to emphasize the idea of the individual player being part of something bigger than themselves.”

Moving on to microtransactions and how they factored into the development of CampFu, Margaret tells me that the inspiration for CampFu came from her and co-founder Nick Fortuno’s views on the success of the free-to-play model in Asia, and how it was a good fit for what they were planning with their virtual world.  “Free to play was definitely the way to go for online.  It’s no longer a question of if microtransactions will take hold in Europe and North America.  …Now everyone’s onboard and trying to figure out their offering.”  Looking forward, Margaret shared with me her thoughts on where microtransactions are headed.  She sees the marketing becoming much more ubiquitous, with not only innovators like Rebel Monkey experimenting with optimizing revenue streams, but also larger portals, and even the old school powerhouse portals migrate (at least in part) to utilizing microtransactions.  Wallace also sees microtransactions becoming much more wide spread across various platforms, and moves towards universal wallets containing currency that can be spent across these platforms.  Using CampFu as a prime example of this prediction, Wallace goes on to tell me that while CampFu is only available on a browser on a computer right now, down the road she envisions an iPhone component that would carry a level of virtual goods offerings that would tie back in to the main ‘home’ of campfu that lives at campfu.com.  Wallace also hinted at an xbox component, all leading back to a total CampFu experience.

Looking ahead, talking about what’s next for Rebel Monkey and CampFu, Wallace tells me that the virtual world is only in it’s infancy right now, with plenty more additions and revisions planned.  A ton of social networking features are planned, and plenty of new virtual goods, both clothing and virtual housing decoration are on the way.  Rebel Monkey will also shortly be launching new games for CamFu players, and focusing on the way teams can form and support themselves, as well as creating API’s for developers to create their own real time cooperative games to be used within CampFu.

Rebel Monkey also isn’t just satisfied with one virtual world, but as Wallace explains, the engine that powers CampFu will be utilized to grow and develop further virtual worlds, making CampFu just one of several virtual world offerings from Rebel Monkey.

Wallace admits that Rebel Monkey is still ironing out the details surrounding a universal currency that would cover all of Rebel Monkey’s planned virtual worlds, but she does say that it has an undeniable appeal.  “We definitely are leaning towards having a universal currency that would work with all of our virtual world offerings, because if we have a player that has FuCash from CampFu why would we want to establish all these hurdles for them to use their FuCash in other properties that we launch.”

Video: Martin and Geoffrey’s debate from LOGIN 2009

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

In case you weren’t able to attend the LOGIN conference in Seattle last week, Markeedragon shot and posted the entire debate on Secondary Markets and their effects on MMO’s and virtual worlds between fatfoogoo’s Martin Herdina and President and COO of Electronic Entertainment Design and Research Geoffrey Zatkin.

Running over an hour in length, the video is broken up into 6 components, and well worth the watch as both Martin and Geoffrey offer up some very valid points.  Any and all developers considering introducing secondary markets into their titles should should consider this debate must see TV.

Note: It appears as though Markeedragon did not have direct access to the audio feed, and did not bump up the audio levels while editing.  You’ll need to turn your speakers up a tad to hear the debate correctly.  Audio levels are consistant throughout the entire hour.
