According to newspapers, Japanese police have arrested 43-year-old killer of an avatar. She will have to go to jail for up to 5 years or to pay a fine of 5000 US$ (about 4 thousand Euros).
“I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry,” the woman tried to justify.
Japanese go deeply into virtuality. They live parallel lives with artificial names. For example, the victim of this story, 33-year-old office worker, played Maple Story day after day, rising his avatar, virtually communicating with other avatars, and fighting against monsters, but.. But once in the middle of virtual divorce, he found his poor avatar dead, because it was murdered by his virtual “honey”. She made use of the password which was given to her as a proof of love in the past.
Do the conclusions yourself.
