Hi guys,

I am planning to open a cyber cafe with 50 stations. I am just wondering where can I buy the WOW and Starcraft licensing for my CC and how much would I need to pay for 50 station license? Appreciate someone could advice me on this.

Thanks & Regards,
Mark

Added on November 6, 2008, 10:48 amHi guys, I am not a gamer but I just wondering for those folks who is playing WOW in cybercafe, do they playing with their friend or they go online to search for other player, who is at other location (no in the same cyber cafe) ?

you can read up some news regarding that. even got up to michael chong from MCA
in a nutshell, sendi mutiara = triad = wants ur money

WoW, only online play. it can be with friends, or just purely with online friends all around the world.

hello Quazacolt,

so you mean there are # of people being con by sen.. mu..... (you know what I mean). I don't really understand what do you mean by "got up to michael chong from MCA" ? ok for instance, i want WOW to be available for 50 stations in my cyber cafe, and I approach sen.. mu...... for licensing, then they will try their very best to con me? in what way ?

yeap they just try to extort as much money as they can. using their "limited" license and rights, and of course the loopholes it possess
*
ok so I just mean to go to a game shop and buy WOW then install it in every station and will this cause licensing problem? the customer will be able to play against each other within my network right? this setup will be able to let user to play online like play with others in another location? Why I heard that you just need to install WOW in the server and not every station?

wow(world of warcraft) = Massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massively_multiplayer_online_role-playing_game

DOTA (defence of ancient) = custom map of warcraft 3 : the frozen throne. u need warcraft 3: the frozen throne's license for this coz it's a custom map of wc3:TFT and u need wc3:TFT to run it.

counter strike = first person shooter game, if not mistaken u need half life license as well as CS license (<- not sure bout this)

meepo = Meepo The Geomancer - Originally worshipped by the pagan tribes of Germania and the black forests that encompassed it, Meepo is a mischievous spirit of the earth who enjoys burying his enemies alive in mountains of rock spikes, pinning them down into helplessness as he pummels them into submission with his mighty shovel. The most disturbing of the Geomancer’s powers, however, is his ability to separate his being into multiple selves, each as powerful as the original and making him potentially four times the trouble for the unlucky who encounter him.

What's the different between WOW and WC3 ?

So it mean that I buy 1 WOW, which is about RM100, then I can install to all the PC in my CC right?
so if there are like 10 guys come to my shop and want to play with each other, for this situation, do I need to install anything in the windows server so that they can see each other?

For WC3, is it the same case as WOW ?

can I say that WOW and WC3 is 2 differents game and they do not depends on each other?

wow= ppl connect to blizzard server(as long s u have internet conenction will do)
(if u host a private server for player to login and make profit of it, blizzard can sue u)

wc3 = warcraft, player can either play online(battle net) or LAN(local area network).
LAN means they can play among each other in the same network,
all u need is original/license WC3 to avoid violate the law\

suggestion: study more about networking+games + survey on current popular CC if u wanna open a CC, do not start a business that u actually dont familiar with it.

imho play the game instead of asking online will give u a clearer picture, go visit a popular cc and stay there 3 hours(pay $$ of course) look at wat feature actually they have.

PS: one of the feature i found its good in the CC now is they have some kinda online cinema, where u can watch movie/drama connecting to thier server.(useful while waiting for other player to join game)

ok thanks a lot for your great advice bro .....
last few questions here are:

1. WOW can download for free and you don't need license at all and just need to pay for subscription then you are ready to play with other player around the world.
2. WC3 need license for each PC?
3. WC3 is an MMORPG + LAN game too?
4. so if my CC got 100 stations, where can I buy 100 license for WC3 ? I guess it's not from common game shop right?
5. Do I need to install a WC3 main host in my Win Server?

Appreciate if you could further assist me. Thanks !

regards,
Sdalk

WTF ? so bloody expensive those game licensing? I thought I can just buy 1 copy of WOW and install in every PC in the CC ? How come someone said that WOW is free where you only need to pay for going online (buying game card)? Are you sure it's RM2K per month just of WOW licensing? WTF ... if the CC revenue is not around RM20K how the f*** to cover those bloody cost?
