Chinese in any case are far less indoctrinated then North Koreans, those are in a totally different league alltogether. Oh, yeah. Heck yeah. North Korea is surreal. I watched that dicumentary where Peter Tetteroo actually got inside the country. Welcome to North Korea. There's no comparison, not with China, not with anyplace on earth. |

This means nothing to us though because anyone in China we're playing with is on the US/UK version that has no such restriction.
The people who should be salvating are the cc companies.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

My only real thought was maybe it'll cut down on the farmers.

Not really - they'll just move from China to the Phillipines, or Romania, or Botswana, or India, or some other country that has a reasonably low average wage and decent internet access. I doubt if Korea would be a destination, average wage is too high there. |

I can't wait for that. I can just imagine. "I FUCKING HATE ROMANIANS! GODDAMN ASIANS!" |

I've always loved the word "Eurotrash". I have nothing against Europeans which is fortunate since that's what my parents are, but I love me that word. Hopefully it's adopted into the gamer vocabulary. So yes, please move the farming opperations to Romania. No offence Euros. :-D

 kekekeke (I know he wasn't from Romania in this film, but when I think Romania I think gypsies, and he was a gypsy, albeit a completely different sort, so there) I've actually got about 25% Romanian heritage, so I could pretend to be offended when the racial slurs start! |

Irish/English/Scottish Gypsies still come from the same Eastern Europeon regions. So no, he's not really that different. Hell, we've got Gypsies in Texas too. Same schtick etc..
If things don't go the way I want career-wise in the next 5 years, I'm either moving in with them or joining the circus.

I doubt if Korea would be a destination, average wage is too high there. Like Hoax said, this has absolutely no effect on farming, money selling, or anything else done by the hordes of Chinese professional catasses in American and European games and servers. This 3 hour limit thing is only going to apply on Chinese servers. |

I doubt this will affect anyone in China who has enough money to make their case to the government officials who oversee it.

Not quite the same, no. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Gypsies |

Llava beat me to it but yeah, tinkers and gypsies only really share the similar trait of not living in fixed abodes.

Nah, guys.
I was ored at work once and made business simulation of opening a sweatshop in Belorus (when we finally kick their dictator) or Romania. Sorry, but:
1. Locals are too smart not to take over your business.
2. We ended up with 60$ income, having to pay 70$ just to hit minimal salary (yes, there are minimal salary limits there).
