Dance with the Chinese online game piracy

Chinese illegal online game industry big bite out of its legitimate game market, the impact of the "World of Warcraft" so that the top games and many other popular fantasy theme games swordsman.Let a lot of warcraft player stinks, also let wow gold dropped dramatically

So how do we beat piracy? Games are generally aggressive in demanding the closure of an unauthorized version of the game. But for China's big game companies, the answer to this question also includes re-use of unauthorized games to win wow gold those users ─ ─ sometimes with the aid of pirated games before the operator itself.

Pirates online game operator in the so-called "PW" on the operation of the game, "PW" means privately owned equipment, but also a jargon, refers to the network running patented a modified version of the game server. Pirated games, one reason for free to attract customers, and second, can change the rules of the game. Genuine "World of Warcraft" players may have to endure a few weeks to make their own role to achieve the most advanced, but in the "PW" on perhaps just a few hours can be achieved. Then the player can directly participate in the most advanced players to play the epic battles and treasure hunting journey.

Analysts said the big operators in China, the popularity of martial arts adventure game "Mir" (Legend of Mir) is the PW in China run up to the games.

Grand Chief Executive Tan Zhao said in an interview not long ago, a grand sweep the Internet every day to find the game to run its new PW, and tried to close them. Occasionally shut down a PW, the Grand will be in the same area set up their own servers, hoping to attract players to genuine grand PW game. Grand and sometimes even make the original pirated server operators to promote the genuine big game.

Another big weapon against PW strategy is to recognize players for the game that requires ─ ─ change some rules of the game, players need to go through several weeks of effort to upgrade.

Tan Zhao, for example, a grand is developing a "zero-world" gaming platform, allows gamers to create their own world and change the rules of the game. Grand a partner is also developing a game, "Twins decisive battle", the game mimics the PW rule, which allows users to quickly upgrade, and can play against other high-level role.

Tan Zhao said, "zero-world" test is expected next year, "Twins" is likely to launch this year.

Grand strategy does not seem to some of its biggest competitors in China to follow. Chinese online game company NetEase spokesman said the company crack down on PW, PW is not in any way with the owner of cooperation. Netease and Activision Blizzard (Activision Blizzard) has signed a licensing agreement operated, "World of Warcraft," the Chinese version, but the spokesman said the operation of the game, PW answer questions by Activision Blizzard. Activision Blizzard, said in a statement against the unauthorized creation and use of simulation server.

PW market scale. Beijing research firm Analysys International (Analysys International) analyst Yu Yi is expected this year, the market value of the PW online games will be 50 billion yuan, about the legitimate software to run online games one-seventh the size of the market, which is The total market value of about $ 3.6 billion.

PW industry profits handsomely from this one case last month, Chongqing can be seen. Chongqing police said they arrested a "knight attack group", as "Legend" PW advertising gang. "Legend" obviously referring to the "Mir" game.

The group of 19 people, mostly middle school or high school after 80. Chongqing police said in a statement, the group in about two years received at least $ 70 million in illegal income. Police confiscated property has several vehicles, including two Audi, Porsche and BMW.

Chongqing case also reflects the industry's cut-throat competition Sifu how intense. In this area, network attacks commonplace, and because it is illegal, the victims are unlikely to seek police help. Police said, "Knight attack group" monopoly "legend" of the PW advertising market, network attacks because they cut off the opponent with the business. "Knight attack group" once the Baidu search "Legend PW" top 20 results are the gang operated PW advertising Station.

Chongqing police said they handed over the case in June, the local prosecutors to handle.

The case is reminiscent of one case in 2009. Guangdong police said that a PW carriers launched attacks on wow gold  upgrades, and for a rare technical reasons, resulting in several Chinese provinces in the region a brief interruption in the network.
