Direct from the WTF-Was-He-Thinking department comes this story…

Apparently a man (he was 41 so this isn’t another “video games are corrupting youth” stories) stabbed another man because he sold a sword online (for roughly $800.00 American currency).  Now that not the stragest part, the sword isn’t a real sword, it was an in game item which was borrowed to him (but sold for real money).

Now the guy reported this “theft” to the police but they said no real theft had occured since the “dragon sabre” wasn’t real property.

Anyhow he decided that he needed to take matters into his own hands and hunted the alleged theif down and stabbed (oh the irony there) to death (Ok seriously I can’t pass this one up… I wonder if he used a dragon sabre to stabbeth tis enemy).

Oh what a strage and twisted world we live in.

According to the Chinese government, that doesn’t exist, so no. According to what I read, he used a +2 bowie knife, a Belt of Pro-Wrestler Strength and an illegal Greater Gauntlets of Grand Theft Auto (+2 to Knifing and Shooting and +3 to carjacking).

People nowadays really cannot seperate reality from fiction? I guess its more a matter of the inability of the law whereby the person sought justice with that lead to this.  :(

MMORPGs… Online gaming communities. Looks like its the “in” thing now to be an online hermit; banished forever to their homes, with nothing but a computer with an internet connection. Thats all we need eh… Guess I can be in my room the whole day with those 2 “essential” items mentioned above.

The sad reality (or perceived reality) of life?

I will never try to sell a in game sword again…....
