StriderVM Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Our country is the Philippines so, it's kinda slightly different. The are literally too much internet cafes in this country today, more than 90% of them have programs and stuff unlicensed to be used on an internet cafe (Well, besides being pirated... hehehe).... Currently the boom with the net cafes here are MMORPGs, besides limiting the space requirements (As MMORPG are too addicting) , it gives them extra income by being middlemen in game to real money transactions (hehe) and selling prepaid card needed to play on the pay to play MMORPG... The current obsession of net cafe players is Ragnarok Online. CS? It died when Ragnarok Online came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyokugenKiss Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I love Ragnarok online but dont pay for it anymore, it got boring after i became a priest and they didnt have a job that surpassed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeon Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 the only problem i have with LAN gaming here (i live in the Philippines too, and boy, third world ) is that school necessities thats supposedly served by the shops (like printing, net surfing for research or just plain typing for a school project) are brushed by it just because it doesnt have the same demand as LAN gaming itself. not that i hate the games they cater but really, it gets in the way when something urgent for schooling happens and you NEED it BADLY. ive seen experiences like this and actually happened to myself (got lucky on submissions though) :\ as for actual internet gaming, nah, too costly for me.

Smilee Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I seldom go to the cafe's in the Philippines because some of them dont have the games i like. At least there are arcades everywhere you look and they're cheap to play too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
