areas of Western Europe.
VISION

Our vision is to break the mold and re-state the standard for MMORPG gaming. Similar to the platforms
that preceded MMOTRPG, the company will carry characteristics from historically popular MMO games,
however our invented MMOTRPG segment will improve upon classics to eclipse their subscription levels.

Move into aggressive development until completion and launch an introductory event.
Raise Series (A) funding of 13 M for commercialization, global scaling and secondary games.
Release the product, support and quickly scale it in every global MMO market.

KEYS TO SUCCESS

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Nordicplan is developing an MMORPG fantasy game that will enable users to be actively engaged in their
own fantasy world with a focus on graphics quality, nearly unlimited quests that demand strategy and
interaction with other custom characters from five fractions. Our research shows that consumers desire
freedom and immersion in a virtual world that enables them to interact with other staff around the world.
We deliver this along with other key features described in the next sections and 267 innovations to the
market.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The game includes key features that research demonstrates supports high adoption levels and longer,
more active gameplay along with innovative elements that the market has never seen before.

New Hardcore PvE and PvP Model: The PvE model enables players to play independently within the
environment, not requiring interaction with other players to have gameplay. The PvP model is what
MMORPG are most recognized for and fuel popularity, where the interaction with other players is the
core of the gaming experience. The combination enables the game to be still played when it is near the
end of its life cycle or the very early stages such that PvE quests always exist.

Innovative Player Types: Players want creativity in gaming experience, which is why Fantasy style games
are the most popular within MMORPG. There will be five fractions that players can choose to construct a
player that best meets their personality and contribute to a truly online gaming world with characters as
diverse as the offline realm. These characters are all designed by experts in the industry and offer a
humanistic feel with elements of fantasy.
Inspirational Storylines: The game will have a very strong storyline that will inspire users to connect with
Nordicplan and engage in a truly innovative storyline. The most popular MMO games in history have
always introduced innovations and storylines far different from anything already available. Smaller players
then create replications and perform far less in terms of profitability and user adoption.

Free to Play Model: The game will have free to play capability, meaning that users can play at no monthly
cost and be exposed to advertisements instead. This will in turn increase the paid subscribers to not be
exposed to advertisements and increase the overall global fan base. The free to play games constitute the
majority of the MMO market and demonstrate incredible market share opportunities.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The MMO industry, particularly MMORPG, has some of the highest growth rates and profit margins
available out of any industry. Because of its ability to quickly scale and meet exit strategies, it remains a
profitable segment. The industry growth is focused towards a younger audience in developing economies
where internet penetration is increasing and exposing new opportunities for gaming in the region.
However, disposable incomes in these regions are small and focused around the free to play model
.Hence, the game will also focus subscription based growth and merchandise sales in Europe, the United
States and areas with higher consumption budgets of youth.

MARKET NEEDS

We have spent three years conducting research into what consumers in the MMO industry want, and our
management team are gamers passionate about creating amazing experiences in the industry. We have
determined that players want a fantasy world with a compelling storyline, extremely large number of
quests that they can fulfill with friends integrated with social media and creative characters that enable
them to express their personality to interact with other players in the virtual world. Quality graphics are
also very important as it enables are more immersive gaming experience, as demonstrated by the core
characteristics of the most popular games historically in the MMO industry.

MARKET TRENDS

There is still a considerable amount of internet penetration potential globally. This demonstrates that
there is still tremendous market potential for the MMO sector, particularly for the free to play model
where demographics may not be able to afford the subscription based models. In areas where
subscriptions can be purchased, such as North America and Europe, the subscriptions based MMO games
are growing quickly and provide another opportunity to have increased sales in the regions where internet
growth is slower.

MARKET GROWTH

The market growth is coming from two segments. The first is the North American and European economy
for subscription based MMORPG and the second is developing economies and Asian economies for the
free to play model. This offers diversified revenues and game adoption maximization in each respective
region.
MARKET SEGMENTATION

Our Facebook followers demonstrate that the majority of our potential users will be males between ages
13 34. However, a considerable amount will also come from females with the same age distribution. We
have segmented our market based on gamer profiles and value drivers. Much of our existing traffic is
coming from Indonesia, Brazil, the United States and areas within Europe, the Middle East and Southeast
Asia.

Casual Gamer: A casual gamer is a player whose time or interest in playing games is limited. Casual gamers
tend to play games designed for ease of gameplay and don't spend much time playing more involved
games. The genres that casual gamers play vary, and they might not own a specific video game console to
play their games. Casual gamer demographics vary greatly from those of other video gamers, as the typical
casual gamer is older and more predominantly female.

Core Gamers: A core or mid-core gamer is a player with a wider range of interests than a casual gamer
and is more likely to enthusiastically play different types of games, but without the amount of time spent
and sense of competition of a hardcore gamer. The mid-core gamer enjoys games but may not finish every
game they buy, doesn't have time for long MMO quests, and is a target consumer.

Hardcore Gamer: This is where our dedicated fan base will rest. Hardcore gamers extend gaming into
their lifestyle and may represent the stereotypical game geek. They are frequent purchasers of games,
prefer to expend significant time on games, and are more likely to try to "master" their games by
completing as many objectives as possible. Hardcore gamers may take part in video game culture such as
competitions, events and conventions. Competitions may involve organized tournaments, leagues, or
ranked play integrated into the game.
The hardcore game model, in contrast, are games that are more engaging and demand more time on the
end of the user. They often consist of upgrades, ongoing storylines and several quests. The levels of
difficulty can also be greater for hardcore games, which enables the game to be tailored to the unique
performance of every player. Within our game the player vs. environment capability enables us more
control over the difficulty level.

STRATEGY & IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY


The initial focus of Nordicplan is to raise $1 M in order to finance the payroll of the development team,
experts in the industry that have worked on major game releases internationally. The funding will also
cover the pre-release sales and initial kickstarter revenue campaign for pre-release game demos and beta
testing. The kickstarter will consist of special competitions to facilitate initial demand and convert the
existing social media users onto loyal game players.

The company will later request $13 M in order to begin commercialization and global sales of the game
and continue to refine the content based on the feedback of its users. It will have multiple sources of
revenues consisting of advertisements with the free to play model, subscriptions for those that prefer to
avoid advertisements and box sales of the actual game to be played online. Merchandise will also be sold
in electronic format and able to be purchased on the website.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths

Invented the MMOTRPG market, which PC gamer will write an article over (including the game).
This enables us mastery over the MMOTRPG segment as the pioneers and innovators.
Some of the best staff in the gaming industry that have worked on major international game
productions/releases and have extensive industry experience. .
Introduction of over 200 innovative features, a compelling storyline and content.
Ability of the free to play or subscription model, enabling targeting of both developing economies
and larger more mature markets with slower growth and higher disposable income.
Five fractions and character design features that enable users to express their characters
personality and interact in a truly virtual world with diverse characters.

Weaknesses

The game still requires development and is not yet ready for commercialization, therefore it must
operate swiftly and with a lean budget until it is introduced.
The game introduction must be successful and there is much emphasis placed on this period as it
will be its first massive exposure to the market.

Opportunities

There are already over 180,000 social media followers, which will be relatively easy to convert
into game players, given that they have already expressed interest.
The website traffic is dispersed globally, demonstrating both an interest and a presence in Asian
markets, Latin American markets, North America and European markets.
The overall MMO market is quickly growing, particularly in developing markets and the internet
penetration is still not saturated, enabling strong future market growth.
The most popular genera of the MMO segment is fantasy, which the game delivers in a fantasy
style environment with massive amounts of gaming content and quests.

Threats

The market is highly concentrated and also depends on existing games on the market. If a game
is released with enormous popularity just before Nordicplans product, it could compete fiercely
for market share.
The overall gaming and technology industry is rapidly changing and it is hard to forecast the future
of the gaming technology industry and adapt to changes compared to more traditional economy
markets.

VALUE PROPOSITION

Gamers enjoy playing MMO games that provide an immersive fantasy role playing experience that enables
them to interact with their friends, the liberty to pursue quests that interest them with an innovative
storyline, customize their character and gain a reputation on the game to keep them playing more. These

14
elements both build an addictive and sharing game experience that historys most popular MMORPG
games have all shared.

World of Warcraft has reached over 7 million subscribers and is among the most popular games to have
ever been released in history. Our model is very similar to World of Warcraft, which shares all elements
described above to validate market demand. Users interact in a virtual world to fulfill quests, combat each
other, join factions with unique characters and rise among the ranks. The game requires a subscriptions
to be paid, which ours does not if users are exposed to advertisements. Moreover, our game takes the
successful characteristics of World of Warcraft and brings it into a new atmosphere, with new characters,
an innovative storyline and compelling quests.

MMORPG COMPETITIVE COMPARISON

Blizzard: Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. is an American video game developer and publisher founded on
February 8, 1991, under the name Silicon & Synapse by three graduates of UCLA, Michael Morhaime, Allen
Adham and Frank Pearce and is currently a subsidiary of American company Activision Blizzard. It holds
ownership for the World of Warcraft and Diablo games. These games are similar to Nordicplans product
with the fantasy MMORPG style with quests and character interaction, however Nordicplan offers an
innovative fantasy world and storyline that users cannot experience in either of these games.

NCSoft: NCSOFT is a South Korea-based online, video and mobile game development company that has
produced Lineage, City of Heroes, WildStar, Guild Wars and Aion.

Shanda: Shanda Games Limited (NASDAQ: GAME) is a leading online game developer, creator of Final
Fantasy and publisher in China. They are the creators of Maple Storm.

Nexon: Nexon Co. Ltd. is a South Korean developer and publisher of video games. Founded in Seoul
in1994, Nexon's headquarters is currently located in Tokyo, Japan.

Tencent: Tencent Holdings Limited is a Chinese investment holding company whose subsidiaries provide
mass media, entertainment, Internet and mobile phone value-added services, and operate online
advertising services in China. They are responsible for many free to play MMORPG games, its
headquarters are in Nanshan District, Shenzhen.

The current MMORPG industry is very concentrated with the most popular games on the market and
subsequent versions released. However, users will often switch when a when a new game enters the
market, particularly if it offers an innovative experience unlike anything else on the market.

15
MARKETING PLAN
Pricing Strategy

The game will primarily remain under the free to play model with money from advertisements, as this will
create a larger overall fan base and bring in more overall revenues. The revenues will be diversified from
subscriptions of users, box sales of the game and merchandise.

120 for a subscription price valid for one year.


The box price of the game will be 29, sold on the website.
Merchandise will be sold for 40 on average, 50 for e-merchandise.
Advertising will be sold on the website that free to play gamers will be exposed to.

PROMOTION STRATEGY
Promotional Offers & Contests

Several timed events have been planned marketing events have been planned that tie in the game with
the opportunity to receive rewards. A name the game idle feature will be integrated, in which games are
invited to receive riddles over a 12 month period and guess the name of the game. Winners of this riddle
will receive discounts and other incentives. This is estimated to bring in 5 M projected social media fan
base.

Another competition is the opportunity for users to win a branded car of the game for one month, which
they can win through engagement in competitions on the webpage and interacting with the website. This
is also estimated to bring in another 5 M into the social media fan base and drive traffic to the website
through the consumer publically driving the car around.

Public relations

There will be several low cost staff hired with gaming experience to talk about the product as gamers in
different forums, spark engagement and interact with other gamers to spark interest in Nordicplans
game. In addition to the more user focused environment, we will also release market changes and updates
to the press and fan base to spread awareness and maintain interest of potential players before the game
has been released to maximize pre-order sales and immediately convert those potential users when the
game is released.

Social Media

We believe that the best marketing method is word of mouth, discussions between friends and other
consumers that serve as conversions and referrals. We will leverage this through our social media
channels of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube along with all other popular channels to help spread this word
of mouth through shared content and giving the users something to share and discuss in relation to the
game. We can also retain them for subsequent releases of the game in the future.

Targeted Advertising

With a highly segmented audience focusing on hardcore MMORPG gamers, we can have a strong ROI in
both Internet advertising and targeted physical advertising. While this advertising method can be
expensive, our audience is also very reactive towards new games and always easily alerted regarding new
gaming experiences, as opposed to other advertising in different industries where people are frequently
non-responsive to new product releases.

Website Strategy

The website will be very similar to other MMORPG websites, serving as a branding hub, social media hub,
and place to hear news/share content amongst other users and view recordings or promos of the game.
During the kickstarter and pre-release period it will serve as the place to be if users want to receive
discounts, prizes and other promotional offers by competing in challenges or interacting with early
adopters. Having more content and user engagement will also help us later down the road as we analyze
website traffic to improve our web metrics and improve our long-term search engine rankings.
