WoW Waiting for Chinese Approval (World of Warcraft)
Jul 23rd
Gamer Limit writes: "Blizzard have gotten themselves into a bit of hot water in China involving a change in operating procedure. As a result, the local version of WoW has been down for roughly 6 weeks now, and it’s looking unlikely that this embargo will be rising any time soon.
Due to strict rules regarding MMO’s, and gaming in general, local distributors, or "operators" of foreign games have to submit the game to the government for review of new content. The government, unsurprisingly, didn’t like what they saw in Blizzard’s latest refresh of the 3 year old title."

Blizzard: We’re ‘Very Far Along’ in Chinese WoW Transition (World of Warcraft)
Jul 18th
Back in April it was revealed that Chinese operator The9 lost its rights to distribute Blizzard’s hugely popular World of Warcraft MMO in the region. The transition to new operator NetEase, however, has been painful because the servers have been down since early June, and there’s no clear cut date for the game to "relaunch" in China just yet. An estimated 50% of WoW’s nearly 12 million subscriber base is in China, so to say that the market is important would be a huge understatement.
There have been rumors this week that WoW would be shut down in China altogether due to China’s General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP) investigating the joint venture between NetEase and Blizzard, but NetEase has already refuted this. IndustryGamers has contacted Blizzard for additional comment, and the company stressed to us that they’re working hard on the transition and are "very far along."

The Indy Star reports that the teen was playing the game yesterday morning when he announced that he "was going to board a plane at 7:30 to Chicago and that (he) was going to try and kill as many Americans as possible". A facilitator from an online gaming center reported the kid after hearing him repeat himself a few times. When confronted, the teen at first said that someone hacked into his computer, then backpedaled and said he was just kidding around. How humbling it must be to have your e-penis so swiftly and suddenly confiscated!
