Playing on Chinese Servers

[Vmpwraith]

Is anyone else Boxing on Chinese Servers or just playing? Theres not a lot of company to chat to while playing.

I work and live in China. So far I seem to be the only one on my server and it's proving to be a bit of a curisoity. I cant really tell what they are saying but those that can speak a little English seem interested.

I'm looking forward to WotLK being released here in the future.

no way your kidding they havent released wotlk in CHINA yet are you telling me for once USA is ahead of the gaming curve holy shat. Why dont you just order it from eb games or something like that and have it shipped to you. Not sure if your american or not but is there a way to get to a fpo ap post office or get on an american base im sure they can get it for you.

Blizzard servers in china aren't made for wotlk yet, so just installing the game wouldn't do anything.

Well that sux how are they behind us. All those asian guys know is entertainment. Not being mean im just saying we are always last and they are first just suprised for once to see us do something first lol.

Yeah I run WotLK but with an older wow.exe from china so I can see some content like DK in character screen but none of it is active. :-(

My understanding is that blizzard and the9 (blizzards billing partner in china) didn't see eye to eye, but have since signed a WotLK release contract. So I guess we will get it soon. We have patch 3.0.5 and you have been using 3.03 and just updated to 3.08 so maybe we will get WotLK and resync with patches at 3.08. Fingers crossed.

Oh I'm a kiwi :-)

That's choice, eh bro?

Sorry...Aussie here, so couldn't resist having a dig. :P

Sucks not have WotLK yet. I remember reading about it last year - there was a falling out between Blizz and The9, some senior heads rolled at The9 becuase of it too...

Hopefully they get something happening soon...

Just recently deployed to Hong Kong for a month.... I LOVED IT THERE!!! Hopefully Guangdong is as fun a place as well, but I doubt it, so hopefully you get to visit Hong Kong every so often. My heart aches thinking I will probably never go back there again ;( . Anyway, Hong Kong was filled with ex-pats and no doubt many of them play WoW. There are forums for expats living in Hong Kong/Asian countries, probably find those and figure out where everyone else is playing wether they box or not. Not to mention, many of the Chinese in Hong Kong speak english very well. Hopefully they use the same network of servers as all of China.

Yeah Guangdon is good and I get to Hong Knog quite regualy it's only 1 1/2 hours from home in Guangzhou.
I have been in a chinese guild here for a while but not many can speak english well enough to feel confident grouping with me. There are a few I do group with and they are spreading the word that I'm ok and shouldn't wipe the group.

Yeah theres a good website http://wow-in-chinese.forum2jeux.com/portal.htm its a site for foreigners playing in china. Most play on Shanghai or Beijing Servers and PvP i nay have to get more started here in Guangdon.

Anyway I'm sure things will get easier as my Chinese improves.

Met cool people from all over the world. Worked hard, partied hard and even *gasp* shopped hard. Got to take the wife with me on the second trip and had even more fun. I could ride the ferry from the ilsand to the mainland all day. To top it off most of my meetings were on the 30 something floor that opened onto the roof right on the water so we had a great view on breaks. Really enjoyed my time there. I only wish I had more time to get into the mainland. I hope I get the chance to get back, but I doubt it.

There was another ex-pat that 10 boxed Kara on Chineese servers, i think he was from the US. He a had a couple of threads on here as well as few others.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THAT!
So would I have to buy the Chinese retail World of Warcraft to even get on their servers? Any guidance here would be great.
I was born in China, but adopted. I grew up speaking English. I learned Chinese in college and the Army, so I speak it as well as your typical white Chinese speaker.
Any guidance along these lines and I just might join ya! Screenshots too, please!
