I wonder how Jagex would react with the censorship of China: prayer skill, bones, vengeance spell, most of the lore, etc. These things are banned in the China.
Actually there are specific laws in China. I'll quote what someone said on the reddit thread about this:
This is the one thing I've seen no one bring up. Censorship is a massive issue with Chinese games, specifically because China has actual laws saying what game companies can and cannot create.
• Gambling-related content or game features
• Anything that violates China’s constitution
• Anything that threatens China’s national unity, sovereignty, or territorial integrity.
• Anything that harms the nation’s reputation, security, or interests.
• Anything that instigates racial/ethnic hatred, or harms ethnic traditions and cultures.
• Anything that violates China’s policy on religion by promoting cults or superstitions.
• Anything that promotes or incites obscenity, drug use, violence, or gambling.
• Anything that harms public ethics or China’s culture and traditions.
• Anything that insults, slanders, or violates the rights of others.
• Other content that violates the law

So for anyone who thinks that
nothing
will change, do your research.
Yes, I'm very familiar with the laws as it is the same applied in the DotA 2 scene - skeletons replaced with more full bodies, less blood, etc., but my question still stands: how much it will change? I hope a J Mod will reply.
