Chinese MMO Refuse Man To Woman
KeyWord: Shanda Entertainment Date: 09-24-2007
Summary: Shanda 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.

Shanda Entertainment, one of heavy hitters in the gaming industry in China, announced that their subsidiary, Aurora Technology, has frozen accounts of male players who have elected to play as female characters in the King of the World MMORPG. However, there are no bans on women playing male characters.

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.

How exactly is this all going to work? Why Aurora frozen accounts of male players who chose to play female in-game characters? Was this action driven by concerns related to players engaging in cybersex and a cultural issue related to (male) homosexual cybersex? Who konws. lol.
