what happened with wow in china?
Umm if someone wants to pay $25 every 3 days for more chances to ninja... more power to em. The only affect this will have on the general population is the increased trade and forum QQ threads.Quote:

If there are guilds out there that are willing to do this then this was a financially genius move by blizzard.Quote:

For an extra $140 million annually for just switching providers I would ditch the9 as well.Quote:
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter thinks that the switch from The9 to NetEase was done for primarily financial reasons: While Acti-Blizz has an estimated 22% royalty rate for WoW income in their partnership with The9 (about 50-55 million USD annually), analysts are predicting that the NetEase agreement would come with royalties of at least 55% - resulting in annual revenue of more than $140 million every year. So switching to NetEase puts approximately $90 million more in Blizzard's gold-lined coffer every year.
now if only they would cut the price down just a bit. they would probably get more people to use this service actually.

Is 25 dollars really THAT much? (Yes, I know it multiplies if you play more than one character, but still...)Quote:

25 dollars x1? Nope cheap. 25x8 err, ya that's 200 bucks. Not exactly expensive, but I kinda hesitate when dropping that much on a game. However, if the wrap everything into one purchase, i.e. mass character transfer AND faction change I will do it in a heartbeat!
