The details are a little light, but the People's Daily Online reports that China will begin "real-name registration" for online players this year. It's unclear if this means character names will be required to reflect the player's real name, or if the account must use a name registered with the government. If it's the former, we already have the follow-up headline for next year: Chinese players bemoan lack of anonymity, online douchebaggery down 95%.
Four online games have also been suspended after it was discovered that they did not abide by the government's mandatory anti-addiction program.
