China May Change Mind About World of Warcraft

It would appear that China’s General Administration of Press and Publications (GAPP) and the Ministry of Culture may have once again changed their minds about whether NetEase can still host World of Warcraft. For the uninformed, NetEase had been accused of operating its license for World of Warcraft illegally and, when confronted, they were told to stop charging for new WoW accounts and NetEase’s application to allow players to play The Burning Crusade expansion was also halted. The case will go one of two ways; the sanctions can stop short of completely shutting down NetEase in China opening opportunities for them to resume running the game, or they could be banned from all operations resulting in Blizzard being forced to find another company to operate their servers in China. Stick with us for the news as this story unfolds.
