Online gamer gets life for cyber-sabre stabbing

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Shanghai online game player who stabbed a competitor to death for selling his cyber-sword has been given a suspended death sentence, which in effect means life imprisonment, state media said Wednesday.

The case had created a dilemma in China where no law exists for the ownership of virtual weapons.

Qiu Chengwei, 41, stabbed competitor Zhu Caoyuan in the chest after he was told Zhu had sold his "dragon saber," used in the popular online game, "Legend of Mir 3," the China Daily said.

"Legend of Mir 3" features heroes and villains, sorcerers and warriors, many of whom wield enormous swords.

Wow..... gamers need to get a life

Wow, that's so pathetic. I've heard of competition that turns ugly, but that's usually a result from sports or physical activities, but jeez, this isn't even competition, but about possession.. over something that doesn't exist!

Btw, thanks for the news, Mazz!

There was a similiar (well no so similiar) case handled like this on Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Apparently a partner killed his game developing partner because the other one had lost weight etc and wasn't paying much attention to him. Gotta love the States.

did you guys hear about the mod that killed 2 members of a forum they all went to because they insulted him? they got a shotgun in the face, no joke. afterwards the mod was bragging about it in the forums, im not too sure if they've caught him yet.. it was on niketalk like 2 weeks ago

...Ehm, Jae...Do you own a shotgun or any kind of firearm? In case you do, you know I've always liked you right.

Hmm, time to make up to Ernest about all the mean things I said.

I don't think YOU have to worry about annything (atleast with Jae)

haha I think everyone has

Remember girls... I know where you live

Ha! Weird news as usual Mazzo...
Stupid games...Luckily Live series won't cause death..

I've heard of people online threatening to kill others in games (I can't even count how many times it's happened to me), but usually it's just a lot of talk (which is easy to use over the internet, the old "you have no life, I'll kill you) sort of thing. But I've never heard of anything like that happening for the most part.

Matt loves all the mods (in a strictly no homo dont kill me way)

That's all nice and well, we love the mods, that's a given.

What about the administrator, he's the one with ninja's and shit, we should fear him more.

Long life to Andrew and the Bulls

No hard feelings.

haha that guy is going to get the living piss kicked out of him in prison.

No hard feelings.

He lives.

Anyways, nice of you to be the bigger man. Tis appreciated.

No hard feelings.

He lives.

Wow. H-H-H-He's...here...

Seems to have mellowed out a bit though. Atleast I hope he has.

On another note, me & EG seem to have come to an agreement that we can be mature enough to let by gones be by gones. So we're pretty much fine now.

Wow's, I's growing up.

haha that guy is going to get the living piss kicked out of him in prison.

I would think he would enjoy prison much more than the death sentence.

Wow's, I's growing up.

That's why you're 18...even if everybody thinks you're 30

And EG is back

Wow's, I's growing up.

That's why you're 18...even if everybody thinks you're 30 P
