Thailand restricts online gamers Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator       IP Information

Thailand is to impose a night curfew on online gaming, because of concerns about rising addiction rates among young players.
The curfew will mean that game servers will be blocked between 2200 and 0600 daily from 15 July, according to technology minister Surapong Suebwonglee.

Internet cafes specialising in online gaming have mushroomed in Thailand in recent years, with prices per hour averaging as little as 10 to 20 baht (24 to 48 cents) an hour.

Of particular concern is the Korean role-playing game Ragnarok, which has over 600,000 registered players in Thailand, many of them children.

hmm...how are they going to stop playing during that time? Is it like all connections to those known game server ports are restricted? Smile That's truely a crime because now the government has started to control people's lifes and that's not good in any circumstances.

There would be ways to bypass that and connect to game server. People can use proxy's and bouncers etc.
