Chinese Gamer Stabbed to Death Over Sale of Borrowed Virtual Sword

Beijing -- A Chinese man has stabbed another man to death over the sale of a virtual sword used in the massively multiplayer online game "Legend of Mir 3," Reuters reported, citing a report in the newspaper China Daily. Qiu Chengwei, 41, stabbed Zhu Caoyuan to death after learning that Zhu had sold the "dragon saber" that Qiu had loaned him -- pocketing about $870 on the deal. Qiu initially went to police when he learned of the sale of the sword, but was told it was not real property and thus not protected under the law. "Zhu promised to hand over the cash but an angry Qui lost patience and attacked Zhu at his home, stabbing him in the left chest with great force and killing him," police told the court.

I can understand this completely.

There are certain people -- I would mention their names -- who have taken my precious TSO items and hawked them on ebay, and one simply gave them back to me and then I hawked it on ebay.

It leaves a hole in my heart to this day. I wouldn't kill over it but....

It does leave a hole in my heart.
