A couple of weeks ago, executives from Aeonsoft, developers of our MMO Fly For Fun (FlyFF) came here to the Philippines to donate $10,000 (USD) to victims of the flood and typhoons via Sagip Kapamilya, the official arm of ABS-CBN for relief efforts.

Leading the Aeonsoft contingency is Mr. Andy Kim, CEO of Aeonsoft. Ms. Tina Monzon Palma Project Director of Sagip Kapamilya personally accepted the donation.

Here’s the official report via the Level Up Site

Aeonsoft donated $10,000 to Sagip Kapamilya, ABS-CBN Foundation’s emergency humanitarian assistance program that provides relief and rehabilitation efforts to disaster-affected communities. SK’s project director Tina Monzon-Palma personally accepted Aeonsoft’s generous donation.

“We heard about the situation from updates we got from the internet and we were moved by the Filipino’s strength and determination in times of crisis,” Andy Kim, Aeonsoft’s CEO said. “So we decided to help the citizens of the Philippines who took serious damage from the recent typhoon Ondoy.”

Since its foundation in 2002, Aeonsoft has grown into a major player in the game development industry. The company’s first RPG, Flyff (Fly for Fun) Online, was the first to introduce the Flying system in MMORPGs. Now their games are licensed all over the world, with Level Up! Games distributing Flyff in the Philippines.

Thanks so much Mr. Andy Kim and Aeonsoft. This is the first time that a game developer has shown support for the victims of the flood and typhoon.

Hats off! I hope others follow their lead.
