The decade would notably see the release of the most popular video game in Pelinese history, Hyper-Radiance: Fuyuko Vs. the Blue Slime, in 2002, beginning the long-running Hyper-Radiance series and marking a landmark development in the Pelinese role-playing video game industry with its highly complex and innovative combat mechanics.
Pelinese MMORPGs Hanariku Online and Feudal Wars were both released on March 16, 2007, beginning both the rise of the genre’s popularity in Pelinai and the Pelinese MMO Wars that immediately followed. A total of 3 additional MMORPGs and similar online games would later be launched by the end of 2009 as the MMO Wars began to intensify; Hanariku Online held the largest active playerbase at this time, followed closely by Feudal Wars and then by other competitors.
