Okay. Now that is just WAY too weird. Sucks to be the 12 year old. Wonder if Blizzard will add some legal issues regarding theft in the US games...

I read on CBC that this guy in China lent a super rare item in an MMORPG to his friend, then his friend sold it for the equivalent to $1200 on an online auction, so the guy who lost the item went to the cops... The cops said they couldn't do anything about it, so the guy went to his friend's house in the middle of the night and stabbed him 9 times.

(I think it was with a letter opener)

This actually happened.

That's the scary part.
