Gameplay

Wonderland Online is a story of a group of shipwreck survivors stranded on an isolated island. Players may perform quests, solve puzzles, manufacture items and indulge in interior decoration.[1] The graphics are anime-style 2D. The game world is based on the real-world Earth, and includes representations of countries such as China, Egypt, Maya and the South Pole.[3]

Characters have attributes and magical powers based on the four elements: defensive ability is based on earth, support abilities on water, attack abilities on fire and agility and speed on wind.[3]

Development

Wonderland Online was developed by Taiwanese studio Chinese Gamer International. Pre-production began in 2003 and formal development in 2004. Wonderland was published in Taiwan on December 14, 2005. Initially, players had to pay for subscription. The business model switched to free-to-play on May 16, 2006, with revenue generated by points cards redeemable at an in-game item mall. Wonderland was made available in mainland China on April 7, 2006, in Japan on December 3, 2007 and in Thailand on January 25, 2008. Finally, Internet Gaming Gate published Wonderland in North America on May 12, 2008.[3]
