Gamer killed for selling virtual sword

Posted on Thursday, 31 March 2005 by Speed, source: ABCNews
ABC News is reporting that a gamer in Shanghai has been stabbed to death by a competitor after selling a cyber sword for real cash.

The China Daily newspaper reported that a Shanghai court was told Qiu Chengwei, 41, stabbed competitor Zhu Caoyuan repeatedly in the chest after he was told Zhu had sold his dragon sabre, used in the popular online game Legend of Mir 3

Qiu and a friend jointly won their virtual weapon last February and lent it to Zhu, who then sold it for 7,200 yuan.

Qui went to the police to report the theft but was told the weapon was not real property protected by law.

"Zhu promised to hand over the cash but an angry Qui lost patience and attacked Zhu at his home, stabbing him in the left chest with great force and killing him," the court heard

Crazy people :)

These people need to get their morals right. You can just kill someone because they stole something of you, it like me killing you because i lost to you in a game of hide and seek.
