Oh for the good old days when
all you needed for a game was a copy of the latest Dungeons and Dragons
playbook and a limited number of friends. As these games have moved online
we're seeing things that would never have been allowed in the old analogue days
of role playing games, including this online mugger.
It's tempting to scoff and say
it's only a game. Well it is and it isn't. For some people the online world is
just as real as the offline one, and can be preferable. After all if you're
flipping burgers for minimum wage in reality and a lord high paladin with top
notch wizarding skills in the virtual world which one are you going to prefer?
It's good this guy got caught,
but we're going to see a lot more of this sort of thing and people are going to
be tempted to take the law into their own hands.
