Online divorcee jailed after killing virtual maple hubby

Oh mah gawd! I roffled after reading this article! This is just golden. Sucks for that woman. Teaches her not to haxx other people's accounts. I think calling it a "murder" was going a bit to far, but it does make it funny/more entertaining. xD

'killing' virtual husband! ROFLMAO!
That totally made my day :smiley55:

LOL.
Murder is the unlawful killing of a human person with malice aforethought, as defined in Common Law countries.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder

is that even murder? or called hacking

lol that's not even hacking.. she was able to access his account cuz she had the info, which she has obviously gotten from him. her lawyer should state that the husband had shared the info with her which makes it his fault in the first place.
It's so weird to sentence a single, secondary case with such exaggeration when the people who REALLY deserve legal punishment are the meso farmers who have pro hacking teams that mess up the whole gaming community!

wow... this is making me speechless...
so f-ing funny!

el. em. eh. oh.

Wow.

I pictured:

"This is 991. What is your emergency?

I divorced my wife in Maple Story and she logged into my account and made me die! I lost 5% D:

Okay. We'll apprehend her immediately. Hacking & Murder = Bad."

Stupid idiots....

True not hacking, but from the processing attorney's perspective you could compare the account information to a key to his house. So just because your personal relationship goes sour doesn't give you the right to key into their house and destroy there property. Saying "but she gave me the key" won't get you out of it.

I think at best she could be charged with unlawfully manipulating data requiring a loss of man hours to replace. Or a loss of cash invested in that character. It is unclear if she just killed the character of if it was deleted, but it is safe to assume that if she went as far as to only kill the character she would have done it till there was no exp left to lose.

Where are you from? In America, it's 911.
xD

LOL this is realy funny

talk about age.... -_-'

lmao, everybody seems to be talking about this haha

What I found funny about this article was that it was posted on the front page of Yahoo.com. xD I was like, "Wow. The world has nothing better to be informed about?" Then a little part of me died.

@ neal: I thought of that too (EXACT same example) but i think that it would lessen their punishment. You gave someone the key to your house, then insulted them, then expected them to leave you alone?

@ tany: then the yahoo headline changed to: "A small part of tany died today"

i just checked my e-mail, my dad sent it to me from work XD

Man, this is like epic news to the world.

Also, good advertising for Nexon! : D

Good advertising? That is debatable.

Anyways yeah like every MS forum has a topic for this lol.
