Well hello PG'ers.. I have been a member of this community for more than 5years.. I joined this community in 2009 and have been a proud silent member of this forum.. I was there at the meetup which was held at Wired-Up Gaming Zone in Karachi Oct 2009, and another meetup at Junaid Bhai's place in Gulistan-e-Johar in 2011 but still no Socialite achievement for me..
Anyways to the topic, After doing the SEO work with my brother for the last 2 years and being fed up of this work, i have been thinking of starting a gaming zone.. I live in Gulshan Area Block 13, so yeah I am thinking of starting it in or near my area.. Because as far as I know there is only one gaming zone currently running in Block 6 famously known as Fariya Gaming Zone.. I have been there numerous times.. If any one is aware of empty space in the surrounding areas of Block 5, Block 13-D, 13-D/1, please let me know.
So i would like to know from you members the estimated amount required for buying PC's which would be able to run the current as well as the upcoming games which include Watch Dogs, and my most anticipated new Batman game.. What worries me is the craze of going to gaming zone has died down considerably in the last few years.. Because ghar ghar internet was not a common thing 5-6 years ago.. Even I after getting the Xbox360 in 2009 never visited any Gaming zone.. If i am not wrong Playdium at Disco Bakery has been shut down and the one at Block 13-D/1 near Practical Centre also closed its operations.. Fariya is still running, am i right? Please correct me if i am wrong. I don't know the reasons behind their closing, maybe they were running on losses but ghar ghar internet may well be one of the reasons..
I am very short on budget, So i would like to know what would be correct no. of Pc's to start? I am thinking of 6 Pc's.. 8Pc's won't be possible depending on the budget.. I am not in favour of used graphic cards but my budget won't let me buy new one.. So a branded PC and a used graphic card is what i am thinking of getting.. Because a ghatiya se ghatiya gaming zone with a low end PC can run a C.S 1.6, DOTA2 etc.. I can get 20 of these PC's.. But to stay in the business and prosper i will have to buy some heavy PC's (I prefer quality over quantity)
Gulshan is not D.H.A. and people are not willing to spend Rs.100/hr for gaming.. So what would be a reasonable rate.. What internet should be installed? PTCL, Connect.net and Fariya, they all are available here.. What would be a suitable internet for 6-8PC's?
I would like the members especially living in Block 13, 13-B, 13-C, 13-D/1, Block 2, Block 4, Block 5, and people living near Bait-ul-Mukarram masjid to speak up and share your views on this..
I also would like to hear from Junaid Bhai aka [MENTION=2126]Jshak[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2140]Sire Ahsan[/MENTION] (he lives near my house) to speak up as well..
I also would like to hear from the team of Project X9, their expert opinions would be really appreciated..
Thanks.
