I'd understand if we were dealing with 14-year-old kids here.

Just wow.

I read about this on [url=http://kotaku.com/5067773/japanese-woman-jailed-after-killing-virtual-husband]Kotaku[/url] earlier. Made me lol and sigh at the same time. Since she's divorced now, her and 15 WoW accounts should hook up.

I like how the captioned image for the article is barely, barely even related.

Haha, oh wow.

[quote=Article]The police official said he did not know if she was married in the real world.

Unless I got that wrong, they weren't even married to each others, per se. And she can face up to five years in prison/$5000 fine? That made me laugh.

I hope they fry that *****.

So, who's going to get custody of the digital children?

Bizarrely, destruction of virtual property is a big deal in Asia.

I don't recall being able to get married in Maple Story. Must be something new.

Either way... that's pretty funny.

You gotta be a complete asshat anyways, to allow 99+ gigs to go to waste of your harddrive for that game.

What the hell are you talking about? Maple Story uses less than 500 MB. :dunno:

You've been able to get married for quite some time now. You just haven't played in a while. ;D

Listen here woman..
Not if you go all in with the full version and get ALL the bells and whistles. I mean, who wants to d/l a halfassed game install?

Posted by Linkman

Maple Story now is about 900 MBs when installed. The installer is pretty big too. At least that's what it was when I had it last. Could be over a gig now. You need about 2 GBs free to install it.

Did they also make pubs where you can get your character wasted too now? Jesus...

not being a sad shut-in who is too ashamed to show his face to others, i'd rather engage in relationships and interact with people socially in the real world. it's a lot less creepy that way.

Quoted post: The woman had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.

Posted by Breakman

i really like how they keep referring to deleting his character as "killing"

Posted by WillisGreeny

I'm sure it hit the Jedis pretty hard when it happened.
