The official website of "Incorruptible Warrior", an online game which was
jointly launched by Ningbo Haishu District Discipline Inspection Commission
and Haishu District Ximen Street Party Working Committee earlier this
month, has announced its shutdown.

According to a Donews.com report, the content of the website will be moved
to other websites that have not yet been specified in accordance with a
notice from relevant government departments.

The Chinese media report that attracted by the theme of the game, more
users registered to play it than expected, which brought a heavy burden to
the server that hosts the game. However, from the very beginning, some
players criticized the game saying it was produced unprofessionally and the
story was sparse.

It is still unclear if and when the game will open up again.
