About Ijji

ijji (pronounced /iːdʒiː/), is a free multiplayer game portal website developed by the Mountain View-based internet company NHN USA. ijji is the North American version of NHN Korea's "Hangame" (Korean: 한게임) website, which is the most popular online game portal in Korea, Japan, and China. The kinds of games hosted at ijji range from traditional shooters and fighting games to more accessible casual games, all of which are free to download and play, and with the majority featuring multiplayer competitive gameplay.

The ijji website opened on July 7, 2006, debuting with the games GunBound Revolution and Golf King as well as several casual games. Since then, ijji has added several games to the lineup, including the third-person shooter GunZ: The Duel, the online racing game Drift City, the military-themed FPS Soldier Front (Special Force), and the fantasy RPG Luminary: Rise of the Goonzu.

ijji regularly hosts events, contests, and promotions in which players have the opportunity to in-game bonuses. The events ijji hosts in the game Gunbound Revolution are similar to those organized by Softnyx, Gunbound's developer. The Rounders Poker game features regular auctions in which players can spend the play money they've earned in the game to bid for real prizes. Other examples of past events include the "Ten for Ten" event, in which randomly chosen members received gasoline gift certificates simply for playing, and the "Halloween Giveaway", in which all users who earned 10 gems on the site were automatically entered into a raffle for prizes including a Nintendo DS Lite, a Sony Handycam, and eLUXURY gift cards.
