Online Warriors

G-Star 2005, the first international game exhibition hosted by Korea, kicked off on Thursday. Models dressed up like characters of on-line games greeted people at the booth of Webzen, an online game developer. The exhibition drew as many as 10,000 foreign game developers and people interested in the games, but some major game developers, including Microsoft and Electronic Arts, didn’t show up.
