Wow! The reaction from the Chinese is fascinating!

I would have guessed that it's dangerous for them to speak out like they have. They were very unhappy (and very vocal) about the game being censored. I can't imagine what they must be feeling now...

They say there's an American doctor in China who has influenced the government by telling them WoW is a drug (and they shouldn't allow it to be played it til they're 35).
What kind of American eggs on a dictatorship to oppress their people?


Also fascinating are the reasons behind the changes to the game. They are not what I was expecting at all! I've known about undead models being different for a while, I always thought it was some sort of deep rooted traditional thing about bones representing something objectionable in their culture. Turns out, ads with undead were scaring children in subways...

They changed blood effects to black? How does pretending blood isn't red make society more harmonious?

China is so bizarre and so interesting.
