Oloko was a virtual world created in November 2009 by Goodbeans GmbH, the creators of Panfu.
The game was initially designed to be a more elaborate version of Panfu with more up-to-date software and the intention that players must choose and master a profession. Players were divided into rival groups, with regularly held competitions and championships in which these groups would compete against each other. The winning group would then receive a prize. Unlike Panfu, Oloko had a trading system that allowed players to exchange items from their inventory with each other.
Despite the efforts of the creators to promote and grow the game, it never really became successful. The last update was made on November 15, 2013, before it was finally closed on May 31, 2014[1].
