CDC Games has just completed their closed beta test of The Lord of the Rings Online in China, From here, plans are for an Open Beta in early September, with an expected full launch by the end of that month.
I am very suprised, there was an article the other day saying turbine was going to pull all their games back under their hat, now this. It is kind of confusing being as Turbine said they wanted to run their own games.
And what else is funny is China is cracking down on online gaming I.E. cutting off their wow customers
So is China going to make them put skin on all the undead mobs or make them look like boxs like they did in wow lol Lord of the Boxs lol.
Interesting. Anyone know how the commercial model is going to be there? Hourly-plans, I guess?
I wonder if over there P2P is seen as something growing and coming from the West.

Would laugh if China let LotRO go uncensored while censoring WOW so much.
