MyFFXI's The NM: Issue 51: Woman Jailed For Virtual Murder (This has nothing to do with FFXI or SE, just wanted to share.)Hello MyFFXI members, yes today is another slow FFXI / SE news day. I saw this story come up on my screen and I figured I would share. Its CSI:MMORPG!! LOL, anyway here's the story and yes it is true...
A Japanese woman has been arrested for reportedly killing her character’s virtual husband after learning that he had suddenly divorced her.
Police reports explain that after booting up the
2D MMORPG Maplestory, the 43-year-old was shocked and angered at finding her virtual husband had divorced her. With no virtual plates to smash against the wall, the woman instead elected to log-in as the husband and completely delete his account. It is this illegal log-in that the police have reportedly based their arrest and suspicion on.
Today the woman is in jail in the northern city of Japan, Sapporo, though she has not been charged yet. If a charge is put forward she will face up to five years of imprisonment.
The woman in question was a piano teacher. The deceased is a 33-year-old office worker.
