Thanks to Grimwell for making mention of this:

A former Shanda manager, Wang Yihui, is accused of manipulating the game's software to illicitly award weapons such as the highly coveted "dragon slaying blade," the Oriental Morning Post said.

Mir and games like it are hugely popular in China and Wang and two co-defendants who had registered characters who received the virtual weapons allegedly made more than 2 million yuan (250,000 dollars) selling them on to other players who hoped to increase their competitiveness in the game.

China. One of the more restrictive countries when it comes to politics, religion, and econmics understands what is ethically right. I really hope I win a million dollars in Vegas this weekend, so I can move to Asia. Besides, they have that City2046 game coming out too.
