Personally I want to know why its only $1 or so a month in China. If it is true then it is a load of bullshit and they should be forced to only play on their own specific servers so I dont have to deal with the Chinese Gold farmers.
Same reason why drugs are much less in China, because that's what the market can bear. That's how much the average Chinese citizen can pay. They don't get to 14.99 a month by magic it's a careful calculation.

Do you ever wonder why a lot of things we buy say "Made in China"? :roll:
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I've also heard that most Chinese don't actually own the game, but play it through internet cafes.

Yeah I heard the same thing too Civil, also the game is censored in places, like undead not having any bones showing or panda cubs not being obtainable or some other stupid shit like that.

I guess today is your lucky day, because they do play on their own servers.

The gold farmers playing on your server are paying the same amount per month as you.

Not that gold farming is anywhere near the problem it used to be, compared to account hacking.
