    Although I'm agree with you that Online MP is an obstacle for so called pirates ,But do you really think that making a cracked server is impossible???
    search cracked server for BattleField Series ,Call of Duty series ,Enemy territory ,CS ,... and you'll see

    However Still I think the best way is MP(even if it means 1-2 months delay for pirates...)

    It depends on how much of the game content is running on the server. If it's a largely client-based game with a server used only as a simple gateway for MP, then it's a lot easier to crack. A heavily server-based MMORPG game like WoW is much harder. The most I've seen done with WoW are occasional attempts at client-side cheats for advantage in the game, like bots for gold-farming. Those are quickly shut down, due to the game's frequent patch schedule. I don't think WoW has ever been cracked in the conventional sense of getting the game and continuing monthly access, without paying for it.

    So yeah, that's the ideal anti-piracy model, but it doesn't work for all types of games.

    Okay, let me rephrase what I said like this:

    I doubt that WoW has been cracked in such a way that everyone is getting the same game experience -- regular class updates via patches, bugfix patches, seasonal events, new content, quests and dungeons etc. -- on the same timeline as everyone on the official, paid-for servers is getting it.

    It would also be interesting to know (although this isn't the place for that info, just posing a hypothetical here) how well a cracked WoW server can handle 24/7 uptime, heavy traffic loads, and scalability. Not that Blizzard has always handled that well. The early days were rocky, but the last year or so it's been the most solid service of its type that I've ever seen.

    I think that's true actually. I had some friends of mine who were most of the times playing in cracked servers. True, they said most of the servers had some big bugs and all, and that the paid service was better, but they could play it and retain the essence of the game in cracked ones.

    @Zenicetus
    As I said ,I don't play MMORPG (Thus don't play WoW) so I don't know how the server works. But I know those who like it play it there

    I undestand what youre saying...you meant teh private servers that offer 10% of the experience of the official...with HUGE amounts of lag, underpopulated with donators that buy off the crooked and corrupt gms...
    MP games are MUCH more pirate proof than the MOST copy protected SP game...
