SHANGHAI - Internet users will have to register using their real names before indulging in online games starting Sunday as part of a nationwide campaign to protect minors and improve management of the virtual gaming industry, authorities said.
The Ministry of Culture had issued the regulation in late June.
The regulation, which will take effect on Aug 1, applies to all multiplayer roleplaying and social networking games.
