China officially bans gold farming
Published on
China's government has officially banned gold farming.
According to InformationWeek, the ruling will affect "more than 300 million Internet users in China," theoretically stemming a trade worth nearly $150 million per year.
According to a 2008 survey by the University of Manchester's Richard Heeks, between 80 and 85 percent of gold farmers are based in China.
