Archive coverage
← back to searchAn independent archive of official Digimon Masters Online news — patch notes, notices, and events — captured from every regional server and kept with its original source. The table breaks the game’s history into service streams: one row per region and operator era. Rows grouped under a shaded header are the same service over time (for example, the global GDMO server was rebranded to NADMO in 2022). A complete tag means the full public list for that section has been archived; “—” means it isn’t archived yet.

Who runs Digimon Masters?
Most of these names trace back to one Korean company and its own service platform; the rest are regional partners or earlier third-party publishers.
MOVE Interactive / Move Games / Digitalic is the Korean developer and licensed service operator behind Digimon Masters — the same company under three names: Digitalic Co., Ltd. (2002) → Move Games (2012) → MOVE Interactive (2022). It launched the game in Korea in 2009 and has company-history entries for Digimon RPG, Digimon Super Rumble and several Power Rangers titles. It isn’t the rights holder for the Digimon IP itself — copyright is credited separately (Akiyoshi Hongo / Toei Animation).
GameKing is that company’s global publishing brand — a Move Games subsidiary set up in 2015 to run the non-Korean regions, now under MOVE Interactive. It’s the publisher/platform for the global → North American service plus TWDMO, HKDMO and LADMO, while Korea (KDMO) stays on the core company. It is not a rename of Move Games — the two run side by side.
In 2022 the global service was split by region: North America stayed on as NADMO and Latin America spun off into LADMO. Community and secondary sources (PCGamingWiki, player reports) date the rollout to Aug–Nov 2022 — Steam blocked outside NA (Aug), the GameKing site geoblocking non-NA players (Oct 31), and non-NA IPs fully blocked in-game (Nov 10). NADMO branding also shows up in the official notices in this archive from mid-2022.
Move On (2012) Co., Ltd. is the Thai operating partner for THAIDMO, served through VPLAY (“VPLAY by moveon”). The Thai site credits both Move On (2012) Co., Ltd. and Move Games Co., Ltd.
Before MOVE took more regions in-house there were several third-party operators: Joymax ran the global English service until the 2015 transfer; CayenneTech / Wasabii (紅心辣椒) held Taiwan / Hong Kong / Macau until the 2019 contract end and direct Move Games operation; and Aeria Games ran the separate Seraphimon service, which closed in 2018 without a transfer to GameKing or Steam.
