I think someone messed up in translation along the way. No way did this kid die over Warcraft I. He must have been playing WoW. It just doesnt make sense the other way.
My only plead to developers: lower the grind of future MMORPGs. My only experience is lineage II, but my god was that awful; that game single-handedly turned me away from the genre. It wasnt so much the game that was bad, the community was TERRIBLE... sorry, im ranting Did they do a good job w/ the grind in Guild Wars/Other games?

Yes, MMORPGs have psychological effects. Sure, we don't yet know exactly what those effects are. Regardless, we aren't talking about chemically induced behavioral modification, we're talking about a self-control issue. For someone to die over a video game is no different than someone dying over a sporting event or a verbal disagreement: in all cases it's senseless. |

Is it just me, or is this thread getting lost in absurdities? It doesn't matter which game it was. The point is that someone flipped his lid and whacked himself. I don't care if it is for reading too much Donald Duck or playing too much on his computer. Yes, it is a mindbogglingly stupid thing to do, but the name of that computer game doesn't enter into it as far as I'm concerned.
Just needed to get it off my chest.

Oh you meant from a frivolous lawsuit standpoint. Yeah the US still has the edge in that department I would say. But Asia is gaining ground it seems |

We'll have a blast with judge and jury Someone has to pay for these in- ju- ries! So come to court and don't oppose Or else we have you paying through your nose! HEY! Did you know the illusionist actually hides the truth? Sue him for all he's got Sue! Sue! Sue! When was the last time Santa brought you anything of use? Sue him for all he's got Sue! Sue! Sue! There's really noone you can trust They'll cheat you flat but if you must We lawyers are a loyal bunch to anyone who can afford to buy us lunch! HEY! (Stop that song immediately, or we'll sue)
