Cubi straight to server after "Donated"

[Trident]

Hey guys like the title says,
is there a chance of getting a script off of anyone that knows how this works? What I want to do is like the Official Perfect World website where you buy like let's say 5,300 Zen (53 Cubi Gold) and then where you can transfer it yourself or transferred automatically etc.. I don't know how to explain it exactly but I hope this is fine and helps finding what I mean..

Would love some feedback and if you could answer or ask what I really mean I am sure I could try again and try to explain :s

Depending on the payment method will depend on how you structure this, most IPN's run off SOAP but I made mine via PHP.

There are guides via your payment method which you can run by.

Oh okay, was just wondering because it makes a Server look more Professional and is easier for us too because Manual Adding can be a pain in the ass & take up to 24hrs x.x

[Ozuru]

I think that manual adding is more secure.

Yeah if you havent got a clue about security and programming.

[renan7899]

Well, the original servers have excelent programmers and security experts, they can do that in the blink of an eye.

The maximum you can do is a panel that the player can login, choose the value, print the billet and pay... After the payment have been confirmed, the server's admin just need to "Mark has confirmed" and then the system automatically adds the cubi-gold to the account...

If you go beyond that, your security and money may be compromised.

And, you'll need excellent PHP programming skills of course.

Isn't setting up a method of paying for cubi for a private server illegal in some way. I thought there was a law prohibiting use of copyrighted material, say an mmo, as a source of income....

[Ozuru]

Everything related to private servers is illegal. Even owning the server is infringment of copyright laws. Pwi didnt "legally" release the server, it was "leaked". In short: everything relating to pwi private servers is illegal
no matter what. In the us. So
yeah, move to argentina or such. Money DOES want to make pwi sue cuz your taking "their" money.

Technically no, accepting donations is not illegal and can not be claimed as loss of revenue by anyone. Giving a "reward" for donating is not illegal in anyway (many companies do this, esp non-profits). The operation of the server files is a legal gray area... the only thing that is guaranteed to get you into crap would be the client for your server. Aion private server people get around that by not distributing it but their servers are close to official anyway so it doesn't matter. For PW though... Just hope you don't get caught and if you get a legitimate DMCA Takedown do listen to it (they are required to give a takedown notice before they can sue you, if you comply they can't do anything)

It helps to spend time learning all these laws as stupid as they can be sometimes...

[Ozuru]

Hmmm thanks for the insight. So technically, you have only "stolen" the client. And if you recieve a takedown notice, follow it and you have a "get out of jail free" card?

What? Somebody told me that PWI is from Europe a long time ago, that's why almost everyone rent a dedicated machine in US...

But I really don't know for certain.

Basically, the DMCA was mostly designed to protect people from giant corporations suing the hell out of normal people. Does it really work effectively? Sometimes...

Wanmei, Chinese parent company to everything
PWE, North American subsidy of Wanmei

All other official servers are licensees

Private servers in Europe are sort of free to do what they want as there is no official company there anymore... Due to that they are technically breaking no copyright laws...

Hmm, so PWI is a kind of "English version of wanmei"???

And in other country, they buy the license from wanmei? Well, that's what I understood.

== EDIT ==

OMG! Sorry, this post ran totally from the original subject

When you say europe, do you mean the server files have to be there OR server files and you?

Had any PW Pserver been taken down yet? I haven't heard of any. I know that about 1.5 year ago Game Masters (company that runs Cabal Online and was running PW MS) was trying to close some PServers, but they don't run PW since 8 months.

Wrong... There is a Perfect World Europe for French and German people made by PWI since 2010 now

[Eistiger]

W2 = World2 = Chinese = Pay to play 1.2.7 - Wanmei

W2i = World2 International = CHinese = Free to Play 1.4.4 - Wanmei

MY-EN = World2 Malaysian = English (Crap) = Free to Play 1.4.4 - Cubizone

MY-CN = World2 Malaysian = Chinese = Free to play 1.4.4 - Cubizone

PWI = World2 International = English (USA|EU) = Free to Play 1.4.4 - PerfectWorld

PWMS = World2 International = Europe (Multi5) = Free to Play 1.3.8 (Closed) - GameMasters

There are some more official server like BR and PH and some other. PW Europe is a privat server.

Perfect World for Europe was called: Perfect World Multilanguage Service but its closed because PWI bought it or took it... Now they have German and France in it too :)

And about closing server... well i dont think that server got closed by PWI. Some got closed by PWMS and MY-EN.

I have my Server (Risingmoon) since 1.2.6 MYEN and i got never a mail or anything that anyone want to get it stoped... :)


Hope that helps a bit ;)

And you, if you were just running a server over there and lived somewhere the Copyright laws can get you then it's pointless.

They are still based in the US, they have no "physical" presence in Europe so it doesn't work like that...

I stand corrected, I didn't know they actually built an office there...

the DMCA thing mostly applies to USA only, if you have your server files/websites being hosted in USA or your in the USA your screwed if you get that notice. Thou there has been quiet a number of times where USA has been known to push and try to enforce DMCA onto other governments to convince them to enforce their own versions of "DMCA's" onto private servers. Just be sure to really read into the laws carefully, and really research your planned hosting/living locations laws when it comes to copyright.
Legally all hosting companies are free from DMCA mostly, there is a separate act for them to get out of free when one of their users is breaking copyright laws. At most they will be force to stop giving you service, and or give you a notice to change,take down the cause.
PWI doesnt even fully read into DMCA law to even realize contacting the web hosting company wont do shit <__<; ive experienced that myself.
