Woman faces charges for deleting ex-boyfriend's online game data

FUKUSHIMA -- A woman in her 30s who illegally used her boyfriend's online username and password to access an Internet game and delete his game data faces charges, police said.

Police reported the woman, of Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, to the Fukushima District Public Prosecutors Office accusing her of violating a law banning illegal access. She has apparently admitted to the allegations against her.

"I did it as revenge for breaking up with me," police quoted her as saying.

The man, who is in his 20s, did not suffer financially because of the woman's actions, but she deleted items such as weapons and clothes that he had spent time collecting in the game.

Investigators said the woman accessed the online role-playing game "Lineage" using the man's username and password in about April last year.

"Lineage" is an adventure game in which players fight enemies with characters such as knights and magicians. Players can type messages to each other while they are playing the game, and can have their characters team up.

The woman and the man reportedly met each other through the game in the autumn of 2003, and started a relationship, actually meeting each other, but they soon broke up, police said.

"Lineage" is operated by a company in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, Jan. 20, 2005)

Heh. I wish there were more stories like this.

Oh, the drama! It's like Beverly Hills 127.0.0.1

And it was lineage. Man that's gonna suck major ass getting it all back.

Looking at what game it is, I'm not surprised in the least. Maybe she could have stabbed him to death before deleting his stuff, then played for a week straight while amped up on meth and died.

That would have made her a true Lineage Hero!

With a screwdriver, no less.

My girlfriend threatened to do this to me because I was catassing too much.

Luckily, I knew she could never get my username and password.

You do realise if she gets to the point of "I will destroy Toast's prescious possession" she wont be too far from "I will leave Toast", right?

With marriage, I'm just picturing the divorce proceedings...

Lawyer for D3wd: "Your honor, my client seeks divorce because his wife wantonly destroyed his favorite character in the online roleplaying game Dark Age of Camelot."

Judge: "With all due respect, you've got to be kidding me."

Lawyer for D3wd: "No, my client asks for full custody of the children, due to the demonstration of her malicious and vindictive nature."

Wife's Lawyer: "Legally speaking, my client only destroyed certain items, and did not actually destroy a character in said roleplaying game."

Oh, the drama.

You're missing the point. It would take Toast longer to rebuild his MMOG character than it would for him to start a new relationship and develop it to that point.

While I question the priorities there, he certainly has a strong grasp on using his time efficiently.

Bring the noise.
Cheers............

Damn, I thought this was a thread about ending the poll and banning Bruce early. Then I saw that it was fury with only one r.

I'll be waiting in the wings for the follow-up headline: Japanese man dies after playing online game for 50 straight hours.

That statement is chilling, eh?

Bear in mind that with the gf, the grind is a bit more fun. Just make sure you don't yell "ding" when you um, level, or you'll be taking cold showers until the next patch.

Haha. She better not read this message board.

Girlfriends are like a rare random drop. I have chosen to give in and limit my playtime to when she is not around (or asleep).

She did "hack" my computer to put a scrolling screensaver on that read:

"Your girlfriend loves you. World of Warcraft does not." Touching, eh?

I am reminded of a Cerebus quote, which I will paraphrase.

"WoW doesn't love you, it just wants all your money."

Darn - here I was hoping satan said, "Heck - I don't want them either!"

I'd love to get a girlfriend, but every time I try, I keep getting this message:

"Position in queue: 537"

It's worse when you've leveled with a girl to the endgame and you still get that message.

I just had to sleep on the couch for that night that I stayed at my ex's place. Hopefully the next g/f will understand why it must be done. A relationship is at STE4K!!11!1one

I'm waiting for the gamer couples that divorce and need to divide up their loot. I am looking forward to hearing a lawyer on Dr. Phil shouting
"My client absolutly will not give up the Ubersword +12, but we do offer the Armor of STD Immunity."

No, it's because girls can't spell 'internet'.

oops.

Forget my oops. I meant to spell it that way!

You all missed the part where this was done in FUKUSHIMA, Japan. So many jokes about japanese quirks fallen by the wayside. Who are you people?

I'd be ticked if a girl I'd fallen out of a relationship with deleted my World of Warcraft characters. On the other hand, if she had deleted Lineage characters it's not an act of vengeance so much as a considerate parting gift. The point would be driven truer had she left coupons for glasses and psychiatric care under the Lineage launch icon.

Best description of a MMORPG, ... ever.

Yet more evidence that "WoW" can be replaced with "girfriend" in most instances.

WoW is better than a girlfriend.

WoW doesn't get pissed off at me if I don't notice the 438th pair of brand new shoes it just bought.

WoW doesn't force me to listen to Jewel and Seal CDs in the car.

WoW doesn't bust my balls for what I choose to eat while I'M paying for dinner.

No, I can't have sex with WoW, but it also doesn't get a headache every time I'm in the mood to play.

Some might argue this. =)

Women are inferior to many things.

You've been dating the wrong women.

You people have no mothers.

One of us! One of us!

Quote from: Signe

Yes, I do. In fact, my mother would probably be happy to delete all my WoW characters, if it forced me out of my house and started "playing the field" again.

Articles like this one are not particularly motivating to start dating again, though.

A strange little nugget from the official WoW board:

Quote

i was upset.

for 35 levels i've helped you match my level, since the rogue kept leveling a bit faster than the priest. i admit in the beginning i thought it was a waste of time. i didn't think one or two bars of xp made a difference except maybe to your pride. also, you were so insistent on picking up quest items equally. this i still consider a little childish, because i'm not going to run off with my finished quest and i wouldn't expect you to do that either. i have no interest in picking up items worth some money if they're of greater value to you. i would have liked us to just have that respect between us rather than the "one for me, one for you policy". still, i have incorporated your way of thinking into my playing.

now, i am the player in cloth, and you have leveled four bars before me. worse, you seem to have forgotten what it was like in that position, and made no comment. no offer to help me in the ways you were so insistent on when you were behind. not even a "wow i levelled really fast, must suck for you huh" which would have been a tiny bit of empathy and better than ignoring it.

i was upset for 3 reasons. one, i could feel you sucking away my xp from each kill with your higher level, getting ever farther away from my level (okay maybe that's all in my mind, but that's what it felt like). two, you didn't care to offer comment or help in a situation that was really frustrating me (even more so knowing you've _been_ in my situation and i've helped _you_). three, when i finally asked for help to match your level, you seemed very reluctant to do so.

oh and one more. i was upset that this was upsetting me. i know back in the beginning i couldn't have cared less if you were a level higher than me. so what. we were playing together and helping each other out. but after being rubbed in your way of playing and adapting to you (as always), now i am bothered. and that makes me so frustrated with finding this similar selfishness and weakness in myself.

i was upset enough to stop explaining how i was feeling and what i wanted.

you continued to dig at my wound by being impatient about how long i would take to match your level. also you didn't hesitate to take your own kills, which didn't make any sense to me (how am i supposed to match you if you keep raising your xp at the same time?). so i said i didn't care anymore and just rejoined the group. (didn't you know i was angry? why else would i suddenly not care?) next level, same thing. you level in half the time. so i left the group to level up on my own. you asked if i wanted help. i said no. i thought it was a stupid question. of course i want help. of course i want you to stop being half a level faster than me. of course i don't want you standing around while i'm getting my butt kicked. and i certainly don't want you off making your own kills at the same time. anyway, you seemed to miss the point entirely. you took me at my word, which is probably the worst thing to do when someone's angry. you left me to die nine times. i made use of the /gotocorpse function for the first time (seven times).

[so you say it's not your job to read my mind. oh i remember that very clearly. but neither is it my "job" to spell out the obvious to you. if you can't tell when i'm upset (and even your younger brother can tell), then maybe that's something you should work on. if you don't know how to handle my being upset, maybe you should think back to how our previous interactions were, what i have explained about myself, and NOT DEAL WITH THE SITUATION AS IF YOU WERE STILL DEALING WITH YOUR EX.]

but here's the ironic thing (could it get any worse?): you come back after you've been killing things all this time and i've been dying. and you start "helping" to kill my things. do you think i want your help now? after i've had all this time to sulk and feel sorry for myself and curse that mages have no way to escape from ranged attackers? i say "why are you helping me?" (as in, why now after you obviously didn't care before.) you say "well you've helped me for over 30 levels." (whoa, news flash! did he just come up with this brilliant realization??) i am dumbfounded by this sudden turning around hours after the fact. not to mention irritated. there's nothing to improve that like working with someone who thinks they're helping you.

you responded in exactly the wrong ways.

you ignored me. you ignored that i was behind. that i obviously was upset. that i obviously could have benefitted from some help (much as i hate to admit). even worse, it was more like you were oblivious to how everything was affecting me. i almost wish you had been ignoring me on purpose, then you could apologize. how can you apologize for being oblivious? how can you make up for being so damn concerned with only yourself?

you didn't help me when i would have accepted your help. you helped when i was already at the end of my rope and hated everything you did. you left me alone long enough to let minor irritations build up into a huge ball of rage. and you never once seemed to actually care how it was affecting me.

so thanks a lot. i had a lot of fun playing with you last night. i think you are heartless for ignoring my anger and hurt. even if you were oblivious, i don't think that's a good enough excuse. neither is being a boy. (and if for some incredible logic you think i am actually thanking you, that was s-a-r-c-a-s-m. i only wish i could hurt you as much as you hurt me [wouldn't that be fun!] but i don't think that's possible.)

I can't seem to get a link to work, but I really didn't make it up. She seems upset about something.
