Japs sure are crazy, I mean, reporting to the police for their character being deleted! its not like THEY spend time to play, usually ppl buy the 30$ bot online which does it for them.

guys japs r not crazy...what r u talking about, the rules are strict there thats all.

The woman actually used login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker , and killed the character.
That in technical terms means illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data. The women, used his identification and password to log onto popular interactive game "Maple Story" to carry out the virtual murder in mid-May.
This definately calls for legal action and nothings wrong in it...... This has nothing to do with Japs...

Yea kind of............. isn't it a virtual portfolio we all have created and most of the time we all interact with people virtually without actually knowing the person. Today we have full blown virtual worlds like Second Life Maple Story which can be said huge extensions of orkut/facebook environment, where in a person can live an entire parallel virtual life.
Call it stupid, weird but this is the in thing these days.
