06/24/2010 China adding new restrictions on online games August 1 Though China's online game market continues to exponentially increase in value, the nation's Ministry of Culture plans on slapping another roundrestrictive regulations of IMO and other online titles on 1 August. New rules aimed at protecting minors from "unhealthy" content during the Games, as well as introducing measures which will enable them to succumb to the sweet, sweet siren song online game addiction.

One major rule in the new regulations limits the purchase of in-game goods and services to virtual cash -- a regulation which seems to do away with the microtransaction business model altogether. Moreover, minors aren't permitted to conduct virtual transactions whatsoever. So, when you see that level 80 Mage that's still sporting his starting gear, don't be too confused -- he's probably just 14 years old.
