[quote] Article : According to the ministry, underaged users will be forced out of gaming sessions when online access automatically shuts down as soon as the clock strikes midnight. The policy also includes a "slowdown" system in which internet connection speeds will be stifled dramatically if underaged users are logged on for a lengthy period of time. These policies will be applicable to popular online games like "Barameui Nara" "Maple Story," and "Mabinogi," in the second half of this year -- games which require users to spend long hours invested in a virtual world. Gamers will be given three options for the six hour black-out period --midnight-6 a.m.,1-7 a.m., and 2-8 a.m. [/quote]
