There's another problem with these kinds of curfews and that is that online games usually attracts people from all over the world, peope from different time zones. I don't know if this Ragnarok game only is available in Thailand, but if I were to play that game from over here (Sweden ) and they shut it down from 10 pm to 6 am in Thailand then that is, what, in the middle of the day for me. It would be in the middle of the night here when it's online over there.

As as comparison, Ziroc here has a NWN module call Escape from Undermountain and he has the server up every now and then on the evenings. The only problem is that the evening for him is early morning for me so I have to rise up early, say 4 or 5 am, to play from the beginning. If I join later most other people I know here will be way ahead of me.
