Dude, where's my sword?...

/. had this blurb today about life ebbing out into reality when it comes to MMOGs:
“while some guy in Korea murdered another guy over a rare sword that existed only in an MMORPG”

Google/newsed it and found a simliar story concerning two Chinese men and a game called "Legends of Mir II" (never heard of it):

This is like a litmus test. Normal people will respond to the news of someone being murdered over a sword in a video game with something like, “that’s just terrible.” An MMOG player will respond with, “…what were the stats?”

Reminds me of Fight Club when I said, “Normal people.” You know, “people, normal people, do everything they can to avoid a fight….”
