It was announced earlier this month that The9 Ltd. was losing its license to host World of Warcraft in China, and in response the company started up a Web site for a game called World of Fight, which looked like a WoW/Warhammer clone from the teaser page. Sam "azerian" Maxted even wrote an editorial on companies taking "inspiration" from Western MMOs.

Well, as WoW.com has noticed, The9 has changed the game's name to World of Fighter and the site's teaser page shows characters from Capcom's Street Fighter series, as well as other Capcom and SNK characters. So it looks like World of Fighter won't have ties to WoW, after all.
