Okay so to bascialy get to the point of  this blog and my question. Why do most mmo games (mostly found here on MMOSite) take place in a Historic China , or an unnamed version of it?  I mean seriously..Why? I was going down the list of games to play because I was a bit bored, and noticed most of the games all take place in china or a historic period during some old Dynasty, or a made up Dynasty. Regardless, it's all taking place in China. Why? Also, a lot of these games are created by a lot of Korean companies. YET still take place in China. I don't have a problem with China or anything, however when it comes to gaming, I'm a bit tired of seeing it.  Couldn't they have more games take place in Korea? Or why cant' more games take place in Japan, or Europe, or even the US? Now it's not to say that there are NO games like the one's I just mentioned above, I was just curious as to why they mostly take place in China, of all places. Why can these companies see that their rival studios (dev companies) are doing EXACTLY the same thing.

I don't quite get it...
