Pacific Epoch - Shanda’s Aurora Bans accounts of males playing females!
I have not been able to find the original story but there is one of the few I have found about this. I do not play this game, never heard of it, and really do not care what they do their player base. I do, however find real life validation of a player a bit creepy.
Shanda (Nasdaq: SNDA) subsidiary Aurora Technology has frozen game accounts of male players who chose to play female in-game characters in its in-house developed MMORPG King of the World, reports 17173. Aurora stipulates that only female gamers can play female characters in the game, and it requires gamers who chose female characters to prove their biological sex with a webcam, according to the report.
