Male players playing female characters get banned

Ah, China: The land of freedom and enlightenment.

This is a bit old.

A Chinese MMOG recently banned the accounts of male players with female characters, and is now requiring players who wish to make a female avatar to provide "biological proof" of their sex via a webcam.

Shanda (Nasdaq: SNDA) subsidiary Aurora Technology has frozen game accounts of male players who chose to play female in-game characters in its in-house developed MMORPG King of the World, reports 17173. Aurora stipulates that only female gamers can play female characters in the game, and it requires gamers who chose female characters to prove their biological sex with a webcam, according to the report.

The CEO of this "Aurora Technology" is probably some 13 year old male with his hand constantly in his pocket and just wants to see girls on cams.

Yeah then found out his weekly wank was dedicated to a 69 year old fat bloke. Hence the banning off all males who play females.

what you mean by difference. Communist governments control the society, therefore have regulations

lol.

OT: its stupid, but funny, and in the grand scheme of the game, not all that important, unless ofc the choosing of gender gives certain (dis)advantages
