Can you get to any Wikia site? If not it is probably blocked by your ISP in China.
You could try the official wiki: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page

Yeah, there's a word for it that I can't remember, but uh, all of the wiki pages are blocked in China.

Wiki works fine, the only problem is with Wikia. e.g. Guild Wars Wikia or PvXWikia

It is because you are in China. Complain to your government.

I don't feel any particular urge to be governed but it's not exactly easy to opt out of it either. In this case, the government in question is more for the people (collective) than the people (individual) but it's a sliding scale without an objectively definable optimal point. Stop paying taxes and see how swiftly your own government forces the good of the collective over the good of an individual ...

(although I'm not sure he can't see them, because these pages were set up for the Indian ban, not the Chinese one) So I'll put the content here, hoping that not all links are blocked (I've removed the links that were specific to the Indian ban):Quote:
Firefox Extension
Proxy server list One way to visit a blocked site is through another site, generally called a proxy site or proxy server. Some proxies are listed below.
Using TOR to bypass the block By Using Google Web Accelerator Download and install Google Web accelreator and bypass the BAN. When using GWA, you actually access the blogspot pages from the Google Proxy server, where they are cached and not directly from the blogspot server. Via RSS Readers
Use Coral Cache Servers Coral Cache Servers can be used to view any static webpages and blogs. Just add "nyud.net:8080" to the domain name. For example, if you want to visit http://mumbaihelp.blogspot.com use http://mumbaihelp.blogspot.com.nyud.net:8080 . If you want to visit http://mumbaihelp.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_mumbaihelp_archive.html then use http://mumbaihelp.blogspot.com.nyud....p_archive.html For sites blocked by domain names Using google translate, e.g., if the blog is "blogyouwanttoread.blogspot.com", then use http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=blogyouwanttoread.blogs pot.com or try http://my.opera.com/libertyfreedomtr...S%20BLOG%20BAN Unsorted Links

I wouldn't suggest trying to hack past a government imposed website ban...
