- Virtual ID was also homebase of several outstanding Counterstrike clans. - Virtual ID also sponsored the reasonably successful ]R.3[M] clan (see notice below).

Virtual ID's 2nd Home

#01-10 Upper Thomson Road, Thomson Imperial Court

- Virtual ID moved to its 2nd home in Aug 2002. - This was half of a half-shop (effectively a quarter shop!) and had a floor area of only 400sq ft! - This shop was shared with the Waterlink Cafe (a bubble-tea shop). - Due to the smaller size of the shop, only 18 PCs could be crammed into the shop space. - The shop was in fact so small that when customers sat down on opposite chairs there was hardly any room left to walk through the aisle! (see pictures below)
