Via Mmosite if you recall Julian Dibbell's
article on Chinese gold farmers, Flickr has a full collection of photos Julian took while he was visiting gold farming operations. Meet the gold farmers mentioned in the article as well as their time cards and work schedules.

The Courier Mail reported 19 years old Matthew Jeffries sold his character in WoW for $1280 in eBay. Although the news does not mention details of his character, he had spent around 18 months levelling this character. Anyone for a level 70 Rogue?

More news on last week's Anti-addiction policy of Chinese government as PlayNoEvil pointed out to a news article from ChinaTechNews that game operators have received warnings and deadlines to comply with the policy. Failing to do so will lead to internet access suspension for the operators.

Lastly, via Raph the World of Warcraft has gained more popularity reaching the 9 million subscribers milestone. The number will probably be increasing with the upcoming release of the Burning Crusade in China.
