    Lineage 2 spat boils over

    Man charged with beating fellow MMORG player to death

    Lineage 2 spat boils over
    By INQUIRER newsdesk: Wednesday 31 January 2007, 16:49
    THERE'S BEEN ANOTHER case of MMORPG-related drama in the news again, this time over in sunny Moscow.
    MMORPG Lineage 2 regular Alexander Ponamorenko has been arrested and charged with beating to death fellow player 22 year old Alexander Blyoskin after Blyoskin tried to interfere with a real life brawl between Ponamorenko and his online nemesis.
    Around 30 Lineage 2 fans met up on the 12th at a central Moscow cafe, according to senior investigator Olga Tatarinova. Unluckily for all involved, a member of Ponamorenko's rival clan, going by the web name of "Shtai," showed up. Supposedly the two bickered a-plenty both on the game and in Lineage 2 forums.
    All the drama erupted when Ponamorenko's rival showed up, who was instantly flashed dirty looks straight away from Ponamorenko, according to some witnesses.
    The two took things outside where they began to fight, followed soon after by Blyoskin and another fella who tried to stop the fight. It's said by some witnesses that Blyoskin fell to the floor and smacked his head on the concrete, while others say that Ponamorenko stomped on Blyoskin's head while he lay on the ground. Unfortunately for Ponamorenko, Blyoskin was not carrying any "phat l3wt" on his person. More unfortunately, Blyoskin didn't respawn.
    May it be known that Moscow is a no PvP zone. ?

    I put this down to real in game consequences, where you can actually lose something in times of dispute. This gets people more emotionally involved and feel hate, fear, triumph, adrenaline etc more acutely in just a normal world fight for example. This will always spill over to reality with some people.
    In Politics, everyone hears you scream.
