Chinese online game developer and operator Perfect World (Nasdaq: PWRD) has announced its unaudited financial results for Q2 2008, with total revenues reaching RMB 334.4 mln (USD 48.8 mln), up 157.8% year-on-year and 10.3% quarter-on-quarter.

Net income for the quarter came to RMB 164.5 mln (USD 24.0 mln), up 214.1% YoY and 3.9% QoQ.

Average revenue per active paying customer (ARPU) for games under the item-based revenue model was RMB 188, an increase of 92.2% YoY and 24.9% QoQ.
