Interesting news today.
First (and by far the biggest) – China bans Real Money Trading (RMT).
“The virtual currency, which is converted into real money at a certain exchange rate, will only be allowed to trade in virtual goods and services provided by its issuer, not real goods and services.” it said.
Wow. This is right after Australia is rumored to be talking about maybe possibly banning adult virtual worlds like Second Life.
Speaking of WoW – Blizzard announces the ability to switch factions with a character. I’m not really sure if I’ll take advantage of this. I don’t think I really have any need to. But I know a LOT of people who will appreciate being able to play with their high level friends without rolling a Death Knight. I personally like my cow druid.
