The Chinese government will be implementing a time limit on the amount of time someone can play certain online games continuously. Give it to the Chinese for doing this, the side effect of this limit is that they won’t have a growing amount of obese children that’s sitting around their computers playing game. I can see it now, Chinese children will play for 3 hours and log out and log back in after a few minutes.
Accordingly, from October, anyone who goes over a three-hour limit will see his character’s abilities reduced. Hitting five hours will result in severe character limitation. Players will then have to take a five-hour break before getting back down to it.
