As we know, over half of WoW players are Chinese, Chinese also make many records about WoW. Do you want to know how they did it? The website of Science Dude has released an article about WoW gamers in China.
"Chinese people play the more challenging form of World of Warcraft almost exclusively. They find the less challenging form of the game 'boring.' Here, about 50 percent play the challenging form of the game and there, about 95 percent do.
"(The) Chinese have invented some interesting ways to play with the in-game economy (not the real world economy). Ways that I have not observed here in two years of studying 'World of Warcraft.'
"Chinese players are more attuned to the aesthetics of the game. At least they mention them more in interviews. They talked more about color schemes, animations, architecture, and so on more than American players.
"There seem to be fewer female players of 'World of Warcraft' in China. On the order of 20 percent here and 10 percent there.
"Here and in Europe and Australia/New Zealand people play with parents and event grandparents. Not in China. The older generation dislikes video games. People here play with brothers and sisters. But in China people don't have brothers and sisters for the most part, so friend relationships are very important.
