Real-life murder in online gaming dispute
Last Updated Wed, 08 Jun 2005 18:35:05 EDT

A court in China has sentenced an online gamer to death for the real-life murder of a fellow player after a confrontation over a virtual weapon.

The dispute involved the ownership of a "dragon sabre" in the fantasy game Legend of Mir III.

The court in Shanghai found Qiu Chengwei, 41, guilty of stabbing to death Zhu Caoyuan.

But the court suspended the death sentence for two years and good behaviour might ultimately reduce the sentence from death to 15 years, the Chinese news agency Xinhua reported.

Tens of millions of Chinese play online games, which are often violent.

Zhu sold the virtual sabre used in the online game after Qiu had only lent it to him.

Qiu reported the loss to police in February, but they said the computer sabre wasn't a real thing protected by law.

He then demanded the money Zhu had earned from the sale, 7,200 yuan, or about $1,000, but couldn't wait for payment. He attacked Zhu in his home, stabbing him repeatedly in an early morning assault.

Qiu turned himself in to police, saying he did not intend to kill Zhu.

But Zhu's family wants Qiu to receive the full weight of the law, and plans to appeal the suspended sentence.

"We want Qiu to die, and immediately," the victim's father said.

No, I mean is +5 str good in that game? I'm still not sure if Kirbs was being sarcastic or not. I know in games like Diablo it's not much, but in other RPG's it may be.

I thought tongue.gif ment sarcasm.

Also, if you just wasted 1000$ on a online imaginary sword, execution would be pretty redundent.

What a stupid nintendoNoFriendo. ONline games are for the dogs. I've heard they either grow old fast OR latch on to your soul with the power of heroin addiction.

I've never played them and never will.

I once played diablo with great zeal, then realized all I was doing was killing monsters for weapons, but the weapons I got only gave me about 1 minute of joy, and then I was off looking for more weapons. It was after a long while that I finally made sense of what I was doing and put a stop to it.

And don't even get me started on the monthly fees!

Online games have a profound effect on the weak minded.
