DualShockers writes:
"For a couple of week now, players of the MMO World of Warcraft have been impatiently waiting for the release of the new 3.2.0 patch. How do I know? Because I'm one of those bastards who've been constantly questioning when the hell the patch was going to come. I've even placed a couple of bets with some guildies, for crying out loud, as to when Blizzard was going to finally release the damn thing. Some speculated mid July, others the ending of July, and a few the beginning of August. Well, guess what, guildies of mine, I said it was going to be released early August and it happened. So, somone owes me a couple of thousand gold."

World of Warcraft
Activision Blizzard's World of Warcraft has been down for weeks in China, as the hugely popular MMORPG switches operators from The9 to NetEase -- though it has just relaunched to existing users in free, 'closed beta' form.
But Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian said in a Friday research note that the financial impact on Activision Blizzard from the downtime will be "modest," partly because Asia makes up just 6 percent of total worldwide World of Warcraft revenues, he estimated.
"While Asia accounts for roughly 50 percent of global users, we estimate the region contributes less than 10 percent of total WoW revenues, due to the licensing structure and timecard model," he wrote.

Around 200 million internet users in China play online games, or about 64 percent of total web users in the country, representing double-digit growth from a year ago, according to a new survey by the China Internet Network Information Center.
The figures measure internet usage in China as of June 30, 2009, and place online gaming as the sixth most-used application for the web, analysts at Stern Agee reported, citing the survey. Online game usage is up 16 percent year-on-year.
"This may explain why the average number of hours spent per internet user per week went up to 18 hours from 16.6 hours at year-end 2008", Stern Agee analysts said.

There are reports that therapists are trying a new tactic to reach people that they think are "addicted" to online games like World of Warcraft - they're joining the game themselves.
Dr Richard Graham, a consultant psychiatrist at the Tavistock Centre in London, told the Telegraph: "We will be launching this project by the end of the year. I think it's already clear that psychiatrists will have to stay within the parameters of the game. They certainly wouldn't be wandering around the game in white coats and would have to use the same characters available to other players".
It's not terribly clear what they're planning to do in the game. Message people who they see regularly online? Graham acknowledges this, sort-of: "While a psychiatrist may excel in what they do in the real world, they're probably not going to be very good at playing World of Warcraft. We may have to work at that if we are going to get through to those who play this game for hours at end".

World of Warcraft
According to NPD data provided to Gamasutra, Blizzard's World Of Warcraft has now sold a spectacular 8.6 million copies of the PC MMO and its various expansion packs at U.S. retail over its lifetime.
Following the revelation that The Sims 3 sold more than 800,000 copies in its first month at U.S. retail, Gamasutra followed up with NPD to find out how well WoW -- perhaps the only retail competitor to The Sims series over the past few years -- has fared.
According to the company, which rolled up multiple SKUs of the massively popular online game, since November 2004, when the original World Of Warcraft launched, Activision Blizzard has sold 8.6 million retail copies of the game and its expansion packs.

NowGamer: We've all joked for years about just how addictive World of Warcraft can be, but some UK addiction experts are taking it seriously...
So seriously in fact, that they've decided to jump into the 11 million strong MMO with WOW characters to provide 'online counselling' for younger gamers. According to a report by the Telegraph, Dr. Richard Graham, a psychiatrist at London's Tavistock Center is so concerned that he plans to provide in-game therapy to young players he fears are addicted to the game. Graham claims to have clients who have played the game between 14 and 16 hours a day, seriously neglecting their studies and social lives.

Gamer Limit writes: "Blizzard have gotten themselves into a bit of hot water in China involving a change in operating procedure. As a result, the local version of WoW has been down for roughly 6 weeks now, and it's looking unlikely that this embargo will be rising any time soon.
Due to strict rules regarding MMO's, and gaming in general, local distributors, or "operators" of foreign games have to submit the game to the government for review of new content. The government, unsurprisingly, didn't like what they saw in Blizzard's latest refresh of the 3 year old title."

China will allow popular online game World of Warcraft to be relaunched for some players in the country after weeks offline, but it will still require changes to objectionable game content.
The game will be allowed to restart operations on July 30, nearly two months after its downtime began, but only previously registered players will be allowed to play, state media said late Tuesday.

Halloween masks added to World of Warcraft's testing server in a recent patch reveal both male and female portraits for Goblins and Worgens. In the past, Halloween masks have allowed players to "dress up" as other races. If it were part of a much larger patch that would be one thing, but adding two seems to allude to the Goblins and Worgens being added as playable races in the next expansion."» Read More

World of Warcraft
Back in April it was revealed that Chinese operator The9 lost its rights to distribute Blizzard's hugely popular World of Warcraft MMO in the region. The transition to new operator NetEase, however, has been painful because the servers have been down since early June, and there's no clear cut date for the game to "relaunch" in China just yet. An estimated 50% of WoW's nearly 12 million subscriber base is in China, so to say that the market is important would be a huge understatement.
There have been rumors this week that WoW would be shut down in China altogether due to China's General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP) investigating the joint venture between NetEase and Blizzard, but NetEase has already refuted this. IndustryGamers has contacted Blizzard for additional comment, and the company stressed to us that they're working hard on the transition and are "very far along."
