Virtual World vs MMOG?

by Steve Pierce · in Torque Game Engine · 01/15/2008 (10:26 am) · 2 replies

Could someone from GG please clarify the difference between the two. In the commercial license it says you need a separate license for Virtual Worlds. We are working on an MMO-like project, have commercial licenses, but after reading this we're not sure if we purchased the correct licenses.

Not having a "Virtual World or Simulation" license as a choice when you look at the products is kinda misleading. It appears cut-and-dry that there is "Indie", "Commercial", "Upgrade" and "Education" as the four choices for purchase.

If someone could please clarify, that would be great. I appreciate your time. Have a nice day.

I would recommend contacting GG directly to discuss the licensing for virtual worlds as MMO-likes are often different than MMOGames. The licensing has recently changed for non-game oriented applications since the vast majority of simulation or VW licensees were working with GG on modifying the license for using other middleware or seat schemes, etc.

Thank you for your response. I just emailed licensing. I'll check out your link too.
