From small, dingy rooms to plush, glitzy locales, I have visited cybercafés across Asia – from China to Korea to Japan to even India. I can say that in over 50 per cent of the cafes that I’ve visited I have seen MMOG games being played fervently by an audience ranging from 12 years old to 60. Each regional cybercafé has its own special mmog flavor. With Fantasy Westward being replaced as the top contender in China by World of Warcraft and also in Korea, things are looking up. We’re talking here of millions upon millions of fans who throng cybercafés to play their favorite mmo games. From riverfront exotic locales to the base of Mount Everest, cybercafés are littered across Asia, and they’re specifically geared for online gaming activities of different kinds.
