Talk:Player versus player

Question about PvP and the new China/Taiwan zone
Apparently China has made it illegal to sell PvP games to minors. Is this the reason that the new zone is going to be called "Taiwan" and not "China"? I always wondered why Anet was willing to open that huge political can of worms, but maybe they don't have a choice here. (This is not directly relevant to the wiki article, but just something I found interesting.) &mdash; Stabber (talk) 22:03, 30 November 2005 (UTC)


 * NCSoft has previously released Taiwanese versions of their games and has a Taiwanese site (in addition to Chinese releases and site). The apparent strictness of Chinese law dealing with games might have to do with there not (yet, at least) being a Chinese release, but I doubt it has anything to do with the Taiwanese release.  --Fyren 23:36, 30 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Super late to the discusion, but Taiwan and China, despite all the debate and contentions, are separate political/economical entities. A business that is only registered in Taiwan has no legal status in Mainland China, and vice versa.  There is no "China" version of Guild Wars.  So the reason the new territory is called "Taiwan" is because the sub-company is based in Taiwan, is called NCTaiwan, and only deals with Taiwan (and Hong Kong, and Maccou).
 * Or, blah, basically what Fyren said.
 * All the Mainland China players are probably on the US server anyways, since in order to have an account for the Taiwan/Hong Kong/Maccou release you need a local ID number. -SolaPan 11:00, 24 March 2006 (CST)


 * Yes, I can attest to that. They are all in ToA around 3:00 AM (Pacific Time). :) --Karlos 11:20, 24 March 2006 (CST)
