Devs, could all of us please get these outfits that the China region is getting?

Well, it sounds as though Shanda Games already promised their players that the outfit would be exclusive. They're unlikely to give it to SE to sell to us and break that promise.

But if we're extending the original suggestion of giving us that specific outfit, to simply giving us more similar stuff in that general vein, putting more of their design efforts into attractive items like that and less into joke items, that suggestion I can definitely support. And both this Chinese dress and the Korean outfits make nice examples of attractive items. (I wonder what the Chinese male version looks like, though. It's hard to tell from just the silhouette image.)

They would first have to pay for game-time (per hour), versus a monthly subscription.
I think a little less the $6 (35 yuan) can get you about 3000 minutes (50 hours).

Purely by cost comparisons, that sounds like a good deal compared to what we have, but I wonder to what extent that paying per minute pattern leads to why they're so much less willing to accept parts of the game that have a lot of grind, and demand things like that immediate jump to level 50 that we're hearing rumors of. Even here, a lot of people complain about long grinds. I wonder how much worse that gets if they're paying by the minute and have those same grinds.
