RUAGIRL?
Given that I have quite a number of female alts in CoX (it runs about 50%, interestingly enough), it's a good thing I don't play in China:
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.
Yikes.

Cool site. I particularly like how they take on some of the common myths like age and the great comparison of (Gamer) Hours per week Gaming + TV ~= (non-gamer) Hours per week TV alone.
Yes I am a math geek!
