Just developers
UserJoy was founded in May 1995.
UserJoy's Angel Love Online was published in Japan in 2006, followed by other countries. Its The Legend of Three Kingdoms Online was commercially launched in 2006, and then by Userjoy Japan in Japan in January 2008.
Publishing industry
In 2007, Userjoy went from being a game developer to also a game publisher, meaning that it began licensing games by other companies instead of just launching its own self-developed games. For example, it licensed Concerto Gate Online by Square Enix in China and other countries. In 2007, Userjoy jointly developed Angel Love Online PLAYSTATION 3 version with Q Entertainment Inc., to provide the first PS3 MMORPG. UserJoy's Field of Honor is a casual online game launched in January 2008.
On April 18, 2008, Userjoy, or USERJOY, went public on the GreTai Securities Market under the stock symbol 3546. In 2009, most of its revenue came from its online game business, at around 98 percent. In Asia's 200 Best Under A Billion article put out by Forbes in 2011, this company ranked 13 in net income, 16 in operating income, 46 in sales, and 81 in market value. In 2011, it was one of the more profitable Taiwan stock. In 2011, UserJoy began producing the free-to-play MMO version of the Ninety-Nine Nights along with Q Entertainment.
Newer games
The Legend of Heroes: Trails at Sunrise was first announced in 2014 as a project combining UserJoy and Falcom to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Trails series. Though UserJoy rose to fame mainly for PC MMORPGs such as Angel Love Online and The Legend of Three Kingdoms Online, and later began branching out into mobile games.
