German youth arrested in alleged Gaming Related Death - Steel God - 09-27-2008

It appears that a stark dose of reality may have intruded upon the gaming world. German police have arrested a 21 year old man on suspicion that he traveled to the UK and murdered another 20 year old male, and their only known relationship was through on line gaming.

Even at the Blitz there has been one documented case of a player harassing another player to the point that the police and FBI needed to get involved. So please, be careful, and be safe.

At least our games here do not feature the problems that have resulted when virtual items in MMOG have been sold in the real world for real money.
