You're a little late to the party, bud. The whole bone/skeleton thing was easily remedied. This problem has less to do with Blizzard and more to do with two competing Chinese government agencies.

Each wants to regulate online games... each wants whatever bribes/graft are required by NetEase to keep WoW afloat.

Until those two agencies come to a formal agreement, the Chinese WoW players are stuck in a void.

mmm, it's not quite just the forsaken skeleton.

I read somewhere that the whole theme of death, the new class being a death knight with necromancer powers, the whole continent of northrend being an undead stomping ground doesnt sit well with the Chinese government and their culture, where themes of death in Chinese culture arn't popular. That's one of the reasons why this whole expansion isn't going very far forward in China.

lol why should they and why would they Blizzard has enough money they dont need to cowtow to china nor should they

Being doing quite a bit of reading since the whole thing sort of blown up. Here's what I can figure out... roughly a timeline.

1. Skeleton / Death issues - sorted out back in Wrath. By The9
2. The9 has has good relationship with GAPP (General Administration of Press and Publication)
3. The9 shares purchased by EA
4. WoW Wrath expansion continues to be delayed - with The9 implying that GAPP is not approving the new content. But The9 isn't even translating the content properly - the "expansion" that The9 asked GAPP to approve doesn't include the entire DK starting area.
Most players think that The9 is just greedy bastards not doing their job, and some speculate that EA may be pulling strings to hinder WoW.

5. Blizzard, having already handed the Battle Net rights to NetEase, finally got pissed off enough to take back the license for WoW back from The9, and gives it to NetEase
6. NetEase seems to have good relationship with Ministry of Culture. Who gives the go-ahead.
(btw, most "good relationship" implies enough respect and fees are paid).
7. The9 sues Blizzard. GAPP interruptions.
8. GAPP says NetEase can't operation without permission. They need to re-apply for Burning Crusade license (aka the quest for more money).
9. Ministry of Culture says GAPP overstep it's lines. more fighting.
10. Both GAPP/MoC says NetEase needs to pay more money.
11. NetEase now needs to pay $ to run Burning Crusade, and then later pay more $ to run Wrath. Oh. And they need to pay both GAPP and MoC now.

"sorted out back in Wrath"
sorry should be back in Classic

also. somewhere between #8~#10
a lot of press in the public about MMO's destroying children's lives. So there is quite a bit of negative opinions about playing MMO in China - it's almost depicted as drugs. And victims need to be rehabilitated.

Since both MoC and GAPP are now involved, and MMOs are painted with a black paintbrush, I guess 'approval' will only get harder.

I kind of get the impression that the whole skeleteon/death issue is an exaggerated excuse for a government that just wants to control the financial success and cultural significance of a foreign game. There are plenty of examples in Chinese popular culture of demonology, undead, and violence. If you walk into an internet café in Shanghai, Beijing, or heck even some place as remote as Lijiang, you’ll find people playing games that aren’t world of warcraft with more fearsome and shocking creatures. There was one Diablo knock-off that was huge when I was there, and it had skeletons and demons and blood all over the place. Horrific images, undead, and death are nothing new to the Chinese. If you don’t believe me, watch any of the seven million Chinese vampire movies that are out there.

Corrupt officials are just trying to get their hands on the financial success of this business, either that or their trying to create a public crackdown on video games that looks good for the segment of the population that thinks all video games, even Sonic the Hedgehog, are detrimental to Chinese society. The only thing that makes WoW stand out from all the other million bloody and horrific games out there is its astounding success, making it a center target in a corrupt and paranoid political environment.
