Hey guys, i've created a group on Facebook for WoW China players, so if anyone would like to join in the fun, you're free to come in anytime.
Its called : "World of Warcraft - China"

(ps. could i link to this website please, it seems like a really good idea because we have alot of foreign players here)

excellent Idea! I'm on Facebook! I'll add myself.

what do you mean by "link to this website" ? You want a main link of the facebook group to the forum? or viceversa? (the viceversa is done on the group page).

Any info or help, I'm here!!!

oh haha i meant a link from the facebook group to this website, but i guess you've posted that already. ^^
I do hope we get more people in, spread the word haha

btw, who are you on Facebook??

I'm the creator of the World of Warcraft - China group!

How you guys go on facebook from china
the website is blocked for me

It's blocked in China, but there is allways a way arround to get access. I use TOR to have access to Facebook and other websites, which are normaly blocked in China.

TOR?

taken from wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)

The Onion Router (Tor) is a free software implementation of second-generation onion routing enabling Internet anonymity by thwarting network traffic analysis. Roger Dingledine, Nick Mathewson, and Paul Syverson presented "Tor: The Second-Generation Onion Router" at the 13th USENIX Security Symposium on Friday, August 13, 2004.[5]

Tor employs cryptography in a multi-layered manner (hence the Onion routing analogy), ensuring perfect forward secrecy between routers.[citation needed] A user of the Tor network runs a proxy server on his computer. Internet-facing software can then access Tor through a SOCKS interface. Once inside a Tor network, the traffic is sent from router to router, the Tor software periodically negotiating a virtual circuit through the Tor network, ultimately reaching an exit node at which point the cleartext packet is forwarded on to its original destination. Viewed from the destination, the traffic appears to originate at the Tor exit node.

Tor cannot and does not attempt to protect against monitoring of traffic at the boundaries of the Tor network, i.e., the traffic entering and exiting the network.[6] The United States government, for example, has the capability to monitor any broadband Internet traffic using devices mandated by the Communications Assistance For Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) and can therefore legally monitor either (or both) end of a Tor connection if it originates or terminates in the US. While Tor does provide protection against traffic analysis, it cannot prevent traffic confirmation (also called end-to-end correlation).[6]

Originally sponsored by the US Naval Research Laboratory, Tor became an Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) project in late 2004 and the EFF supported Tor financially until November 2005.[7] Tor software is now developed by the Tor Project, which since December 2006 is a 501(c)(3) research/education non-profit organization based in the United States of America that receives a diverse base of financial support.[

The Facebook group is nowhere as useful as our beloved forum! RITE GAIZ?

Maybe because Facebook is blocked in China.
But it is still a good idea to promote our community to foreigneres and locals in China.

Indeed ! How about someone make an advertisement on Shanghai expats or something?

Hei all.... there have been plenty of posts about this page on shanghai expats. Chinasmack and even european pages like wow head long time ago. How come after almost 8years if you google Chinese wow in English this page is always under the top 10 (normally 1 according to the search engine), personally I dunno but I think it's pretty cool.
Also I like the fact what glob and others somehow have achieved by just making a Internet page and not using dumb facebook ( yeah I also use it blame me) and still get so many hits on the Internet.

I know!! I never bought any keywords for that. I guess we generate so much traffic that we deserve to be on top on google results .

The facebook page is mostly a link to arrive here. I'm not really found of FB either (and yeah I use it too ><') but hey, some free marketing doesn't hurt.....

Why you guys using TOR when Freegate us much much better and is fast, very fast! also doesnt have advertisments when your browsing the web. It often updates too so that China gets behind on finding them and blocking there servers.
