Spela i tre timmar - sen säger Kina stopp

Den kinesiska regeringen har presenterat ett system för att förhindra hälsosamt onlinespelande.
När systemet införs kommer spelare av roll- och äventyrsspel att få tre timmars sammanhängande speltid.

För att fortsätta spelet ska man vara utloggad i minst fem timmar.
"Systemet kan förhindra att unga personer blir beroende, säger en talesman

Regeringen ser tre timmars spelande som normalt, upp till fem som
tröttsamt och över fem timmar ohälsosamt, skriver kinesiska Interfax.

I samarbete med spelföretagen har man konstruerat tidsspärren så att spelkaraktärens egenskaper
försämras med hälften när man suttit för länge.
Det blir också svårare att hitta skatter och vinna priser. Det obligatoriska systemet väntas dra igång i slutet av året.


Play for three hours and no longer says China.

Max three hours of online gaming in a row. Longer sessions are
unhealthy says the regime in China who wants to control the gaming opportunities.

If you want to continue the game you have to logoff for a minimum of five hours.
"The system can prevent gaming addiction among the youth" says a Chinese spokesperson

The government sees three hours as normal, up to five hours as tiresome and above five hours as unhealthy,
says Chinese Interfax

In cooperation with the gaming industry the system is constructed so characters will be weaker, get their stats halved,
if you have played for to long. It will also be harder to get loot and win prizes.
This mandatory system is expected to start at the end of this year
