On June 7th, Activision decided to change who was operating World of Warcraft in China from The9 to NetEase and simultaneously brought down millions of players at the same time. Since this change over, Chinese players have not had access to WoW for a month. Crime will most likely skyrocket  as time progresses with the youth of a country being denied access to Azeroth. Most of the deal is already done and everything is seemingly in place. However, this is what NetEase had to say about the issue and why it’s not resolved yet;

“We have met with some factors which are out of our control [and] the servers’ reopening will be delayed… As of now, we don’t have a specific reopening timeframe.”

Wow, how informative! It seems they are still waiting for some legalities to work themselves out and due to strict government regulations in China, which we’ve all heard about before, it may be indefinitely longer until China is able to enjoy WoW again.

All you WoW players out there, take this as an opportunity to be grateful and rejoice as you DON’T have to wait months to play WoW when big money changes hands. Hopefully no one is reacting like this.
