Some guy got stabbed for real by a "buddy" because he sold an in-game sword the two had worked together to get. Taking things a *little* too seriously, eh?

Thats why I play with my door locked and a fully loaded shotgun within easy reach....

No J/K :)

Anyways yeah some people do some pretty crazy stuff. Like that one guy in Korea I think a few years ago that died while playing Everquest because he had played for like a week straight without food or rest.

People don't kill people....Swords kill people! They need to sue the sword manufacturer for making dangerous devices!!! :P

I only play with Guidmates mostly, and I'm not that into it... Besides, Blizzard is fairly agressive when it comes to selling their "property" online, etc. It's stated pretty clearly in the Terms of Use that everything in the online game belongs to Blizz, and we're simply "renting". :-/

License or not, there's still a legal question about such things.
