Ya, I definitely want to see screenshots of what they look like now. Seems like a ton of work to change them.

I'd personally like the look of forsaken bones covered up, optionally.

They were probably worried that all those dogs might get over excited by the bones and they wouldn't be able to skin them for furs to sell to Europe... (EU proposes cat and dog fur ban)

Would they censor FPS games to use catapults instead of guns too, or are even they too barbaric? Perhaps throwing fluffy teddies at each other would be more appropriate.

For longer than I can remember, it has been illegal in china to depict a human skeleton or any overtly religious scene. For years, Magic: the Gathering cards depicting angels, priests or skeletons have had alternate art version printed in simplified chinese that have been highly sought after by american collectors.

lol this wierd , but i think you should change the tittle to Forsaken instead of Scourge , since they're not the same thing

"changed scourge corpses from bones to tombs" - that's a weird one. All the other races turn to skeletons, but the Forsaken turn into tombs? Guessing they've changed all the skeleton models...

I believe they're referred to as Scourge in China. :)

Scourge = Undead legions under the command of Lich King Arthas... Forsaken = Free undead under the leadership of Sylvanas Windrunner...

Anyway, back to topic...

They might as well remove the Plaguelands and replace it with "Hello Kitty land" or something...

yeah...

Wondering what the entire plaguelands area as well as ghostlands will look like then...

There's alot of skeletons and bones in the game, and not just in those specific areas. RFD got plenty too, I recall.

And does this only cover human like skeleton/bones, or is it any depiction of skeletons/bones? If the latter, the game is crammed with alot of stuff they need to change graphically, even affecting important Lore sites (like the remains of the old God in Northern Kalimdor).

Wonder what they'll rename valley of Bones to? Valley of Flesh? That just gives soooo wrong a picture ;)
