WoW Checks In China Almost Complete

The body responsible for authorising WoW in China, GAPP, has almost finished its checks into the game, according to a statement.

Despite numerous rumours that WoW may never re-appear in China, GAPP has said that checks into the game are nearly complete. This follows a reported investigation into Blizzard and NetEase's joint venture after the switch of operators from The9 earlier this year.

A department director from GAPP confirmed that some violent content in the game will need to be changed, but this should be easily remedied.

PTR 3.2 Humor: The Day Stormwind Canals Ran Dry

This has to be a very humorous bug and conversation. A fan reported a bug where Stormwind’s canals are empty. No water in it. Obviously, the guy jumped in to see if it was a graphical issue rather than a literal one. He basically heard his head bonk into the solid bottom of the canal, and couldn’t get back up since he can’t swim to reach the stairs by the dock.

Blizzard Quote:
Lylandra: No water, no fish, nothing. just fell into it and could not get out. Please fetch some shamans to summon a bunch of nice water elementals for re-filling

Wryxian: Though I’m sure this is a known bug, please can you report it in game using the in-game bug reporting tool—we do not collect bug reports from the forums unfortunately.

PS: Nice name there Lylandra. Makes me remember how mad I am at Marvel Comics for killing Empress Lilandra Neramani of the Shi’ar in War of Kings. @#$! Marvel.
