If somehow anonymity was removed, and your name was revealed to be "Joe Blow, 123 Easy Street, San Diego, CA" would you be so quick to call someone an "internet tough guy?"

Let me get this straight. People used to spend loads of cash on ebay characters and equipment. Do things utterly stupid like camp Zordac Ragefire. Come home from work at lunch to kill placeholders in a camp.

I'm kind of surprised no one has been killed in real life over an online game. Maybe they have, and I just haven't heard about it.

God knows, people get killed over some trivial crap, this kind of thing wouldn't be a reach at all.

I guess the only thing that bugs me worse than an internet tough guy, is someone mocking that internet tough guy. Wimpiest guy in the world is the toughest if he has a gun and you don't. If someone is mad at you, and knows who and where you are you don't have much protection if he decided to come up behind you and squeeze a trigger.

So just give it a rest ok? I'm sure someone is angry and just working off steam.

Also there was a story a while back about some guy in china who killed his roomate because he stole a sword from his character and sold it on ebay. The other guy killed his roomate for selling the sword.

Lucky for me I live alone in my parents basement so I dont have to worry about it since I never see the outside world.

But you never know.

Im sure the guy is working off steam, but to come on here and start threatening to kill people and keep posting about cutting off his head and shit?

Get real...I had a 50 character of my own and gear that was really good. We are fucking powerless. Whoever did this shit is alot smarter then most people on this server or board so threatening to kill him isnt gonna do shit.

Best thing to do is just fucking walk away. Sure it seems we all wasted time but oh well just get over it. This whole fucking game is a timesink
