Netease to Delay Re-opening of WoW Servers

Wabei, 7/01/09

Chinese game developer and operator Netease (Nasdaq: NTES) announced last night that it has encountered some unexpected circumstances in the run-up to the World of Warcraft launch that will delay its servers going online. One complication has been that obtaining final results and costs for testing, analysis and adjustments has taken longer than expected. No date has been set for the servers to re-open.

Nevertheless, Netease said gamers will be able to quickly set up a Battle.Net passport and bind it to their WoW accounts. At the same time that Netease opens Battle.Net for registration it will also launch an entirely new Chinese mainland official WoW website, www.warcraftchina.com, and use it as a platform to keep gamers informed about their progress until the servers are back online.
