I'm a Chinese in Hong Kong, and have 2 accounts (one American and one Taiwan region). Most of the time I play in the American account.

Confusion in GW's Region (or Territory) regarding China

 * The "Taiwan region" is actually "Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau region". For convenience GW use only the shortform "Taiwan region" most of the time. The GW officials put these 3 places into the same region because we all use Traditional Chinese characters in communication.


 * In fact, Hong Kong and Macau are part of China (PRC). The relation of Taiwan and China (PRC) is just similar to the North and South Korea -- result of a civil war.


 * The mainland China (PRC) is using Simpified Chinese characters, and GW has it's China (PRC) version in open beta start from March 2007. Most likely there will be a new China region when it goes live.


 * If you don't understand what I'm talking, you can just ignore all the above.


 * If you want to know more details regarding the seems-so-complicated relationships of these places, you can go to check them in wikipedia.org
