World of Raids:
The China is finally getting the first wow expansion: The Burning Crusade; The9, the Chinese operator for the game, has finally announced it will be arriving 10 September.
Chinese WoW players have not experienced any new content since last October, and their patience has been taxed to the limit. "The number of average concurrent users (ACU) for WoW has dropped two quarters straight, from 340,000 ACU in the forth quarter of 2006 to 300,000 in the second quarter of 2007."
Several possible reasons for such a delay could be: the new anti-addiction measures, the government ban on Undead, requiring Blizzard to apply flesh to the Undead and skeletons (aha), and the recent chinese font lawsuit.

Blizzplanet:
Chinese players will finally play Burning Crusade expansion on September 10. China has gotten no content patches since October 2006. The situation there is chaotic. Most of the issues and delays have come up due to anti-addiction measures, the government ban on Undead, requiring Blizzard to apply flesh to the Undead and ... skeletons. And the recent chinese font lawsuit. A lot of controversy is surrounding the9 company as well as it is accused of monopoly by acquiring MMO licenses away from other companies to empower World of Warcraft in Asia.
All in all good for the Asians to get Burning Crusade.
