This is not surprising but then again with the huge success in the western countries for Wrath of The Lich King, why it is not available in China?

Not Blizzard’s fault anyway. It is the China’s government that forbids Wotlk from entering the country.

According to the representative,

The government has rejected two applications by the second expansion for The9′s (Nasdaq: NCTY) licensed MMORPG World of Warcraft, "Wrath of the Lich King," [...] The applications were rejected due to content that didn’t meet requirements, including a city raid and skeleton characters; the submitted version did not contain WLK’s Death Knight first hero class…"

Can you believe that?

In order to enter the China market, Blizzard will have to remove the skeletons among other few things that are available in the western version.

So, there will be no fighting skeletons in China’s version of Wrath of the Lich King and who knows what else that are not available in the game specificly altered to meet China’s requirements.

I imagine that being a Chinese living in China is stressful. Online games such as Wotlk can be such a hassle. Why can’t they enjoy what they love to play?
