    China imposes online gaming curbs...

    China tries to curb MMORP - gaming... Play more than 3 consecutive hours and your character loses skills...

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4183340.stm


    After having lurked some of the MMORPG threads here, I suspect some Apolytoners are potential criminals...

          While there may have been deaths from gaming for too long, I think the required amount exceeds 3 hours by a long shot. Like 3 days.

                      good, they have unfair advantages because they have no life and can play games for 50 hours straight.

                      We here in america actually have to work jobs and/or go to school.

                          Yes, though I think they also try to make "net bars" less problematic at the same time.

                          "Net bars" are places where people can hire computer usage - remember many in the PRC cannot afford computers at home. They used to be for people surfing the Net but now most users play MMORPG. So you have these places with kids packed inside, many of which are illegal and unlicensed because of the MMORPG boom. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to see these are ticking time bombs waiting to go off.
