Skeletons and China

[z00t]

The thread about China's D3 servers going live earlier made me think of something: how are they going to handle Skeletons in China?

Because they have that law where you can't show the human skeleton, are they just going to be zombies? What is Leoric going to be called? o_0

He'll be renamed "The Stick King", he'll be a quickly drawn stick figure in paint, and animated by Blizzards top men.

The everyday skeletons will also be reskinned, and will appear as blades of grass.

What law is this? I'm not familiar with it....

Edit: I guess I could find out, as I'm actually going to be in China on May 15th.... but I doubt I'm going to buy a Chinese copy of the game.

Well, they DID remove skeletons from WoW (never saw the new models, but I know that player's skeletons are replaced by a tombstone), so I guess they'll get the Zombie King.

That's a good question. Secondii would probably know.

(The chinese censors are going to go berserk over MoP...)

lol at the zombie king.

[reaperguy]

lol at the zombie king.

So they'll replace him with Jesus?

[Vorador]

Since Diablo 3 is M rated aren't they allowed to keep skeletons in tha game? WoW is T rated so it's obvious why they need to cut them out.

What's wrong with that China? They allow nothing. Diablo is full of skeletons, every monster that dies can have a skeleton on the ground. They should just quit playing games then.
