Operating World of Warcraft in China Quote: NetEase said the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP) halted and returned its application to operate the latest version of Activision Blizzard's (ATVI.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) popular World of Warcraft game due to "gross violations" of regulations.
The agency posted a statement on its Web site demanding that NetEase suspend charging users to play the game, and disallow new account registrations, NetEase said on Monday. The move put the recently-relaunched popular title's future into question in China, and sent NetEase and Activision Blizzard shares down 2.4 percent and 4.3 percent, respectively. |

OMG! What will WoW players do when they can no longer buy gold!? No? Nothing? Let me try again, I think I can get more material out of this. That article fails to inform me about the most critical consequence... what about China's unemployment rate and how will this effect its economic recovery!? |

WoW gold farming industry favors Switzerland as new home; says hands-off financial regulation is attractive and large banking industry convenient. MASS EMIGRATION FROM CHINA! Population halves overnight; Switzerland declared second most populous nation after India! |

Blizzard's stock dropped because of this. Between this and Star Wars:TOR, Blizzard may feel the sting harder than they were expecting. As for me and my house, we will play Age of Conan (for now). |

Not sure that will impact the CMFs on North American servers...they already have accounts based outside of China, and are accessing servers they are not supposed to be accessing. If chinese ISPs start blocking traffic going to blizzard servers, that could be problematic for them, but other than that, only legitimate chinese players on asian servers would be affected by this. |
