China Officially Bans PKing...

No more PvP? That is what China's government is saying. Apparently, if you live in China, play games like Halo and Counter Strike, and are under the age of 18, you are screwed. They have passed a law that says if you are underage, then you can't play any violent online games. other non-player characters is fine, so don't worry if all you PvE people don't want to leave Everquest yet. To prove your age, you would enter your ID number, then that will be checked and allow you to play. As Kotaku states, this is a great way to spike Identity Theft. I guess China thinks that video games are literally our youth, too.
