Wemade Entertainment

Wemade Entertainment Co., Ltd is an online games developer and service provider, based in Seoul, South Korea. Founded on February 10, 2000, Wemade has since developed several online games, the two most successful being the MMORPGs The Legend of Mir 2, and its sequel The Legend of Mir 3.

Wemade's games were confined to South Korea until a contract with the Italian based Digital Bros group in March 2001. The contract allowed Digital Bros. to distribute The Legend of Mir 2 in Europe. A similar contract with the Chinese company Shanda in June allowed its games to be distibuted in China by fellow South Korean company Actoz, who hold a 40% stake in Wemade. A final contract in August 2002, signed with Softworld, a Taiwanese company, meant that The Legend of Mir 2 was now available in four regions.

Wemade has had a long running legal dispute with Shanda over one of their newer MMORPGs, The World of Legend. It allegedly infringes on Wemade's intellectual property, and the case is still ongoing in a Beijing court.
