On behalf of Chinese players, I'm afraid the regional board is unnessesary for us though it is a good idea.
3 reasons:
-Thanks to the League of Legends,the number of Warlock players in China is shrinking. :sad: There're few players who would like to try Warlock,which has strong competitiveness and needs high apm. We have a simple forum where we discuss Warlock in China already.( Link: http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=术士之战&ie=utf-8&fr=wwwt ) Unfortunately, the forum activity isn't good enough. If the official forum created a Chinese players board, i'm afraid fewer and fewer comments would be posted on both sides.
-It's difficult to find a good Warlock translator in China, not to mention a responsible board master. As a matter of fact, we only play Chinese-version maps instead of original maps. We have to translate every new version of Warlock, which make us, i mean the translators, very tired. If a new Chinese forum is created, you need not only translators but also several men to communicate between Chinese and others. We can't promise that.
-As a reminder,The Great Fire Wall of China(aka GFW) still exists, which protects Chinese from foreign invasive comments, seditious news or splittism activities etc. :sad: For example, Youtube is blocked in China because of several videos of Dalai Lama, as well as Twitter and Facebook. It's hard to tell when GFW block this forum even though nothing wrong did you make.
