Do you remember this story from a couple of years ago? A disgruntled virtual ex-wife murdered her virtual ex-husband. Both husband and wife were characters in an interactive online game called Maple Story. The fickle virtual husband suddenly decided to divorce his lovely virtual wife without a text message, digital alimony, or an offer of virtual marriage counseling. The virtual ex-wife was left wondering what went wrong in their virtual relationship and cried many virtual tears. However, her creator wanted some good old-fashioned non-virtual revenge and erased the virtual husband.
The virtual murderer, a 43-year-old Japanese piano teacher has been arrested and maybe charged with a real life crime. No not murder, illegal access onto a computer and manipulating electronic data, if convicted, she could face a prison term of up to five years or a fine up to $5,000. The murder weapon was the login information the woman got from the 33-year-old office worker (virtual husband's creator) when their characters were still happily married. She sneaked into his Maple Story account and killed the character. The man went to the police when he discovered that his online character was dead.
According to Jason Rybka, our About guide to Video Game Cheats, Maple Story is an on-line and very unique type of game and one that will certainly require a bit research prior to really being able to grasp the full enjoyment of the title. Check out his Maple Story cheats. Photo: Morgue File
