Divorced couple argue over custody of computer gamesYou can have the flat, I want my Legend of Mir By Nick Farrell: Wednesday 13 July 2005, 07:19 WHILE CUSTODY battles for children are considered the worst thing that divorcing couples have to face, it now seems that rights over the computer game account are becoming more vicious. According to the Chongqing Business Post, a Mr Wang and Ms. Ye from Huibei fell in love last September on Shanda's online game Legend of Mir 2. Wang romantically saved Ye's character from being killed by another player. They were soon married, but failed to live happily ever after in real life. They decided to get a divorce in June. During their marriage, the couple jointly played over ten Mir 2 accounts, attaining level 40 to 50 status for all of them. Apparently that is not bad. The characters and virtual items are estimated to be worth 40,000 to 50,000 Yuan. Wang told the court that Ye can keep the apartment and all he wants is the accounts and virtual items. Ye wants to split the apartment and game items equally. More here. µ |

If you don't dual 5-box as a couple, then you just aren't hardcore. |

Hell I remember talking to guys that had over 12 accounts in UO back in the smithing and tailoring awards for BOD's. That kind of idiocy isn't new at all.

OMFG. I can say with first hand experience - if this is even something that vaguely crosses your mind at 3 am on a drunken binge during a divorce you must. stab. yourself. in. the. face.

Angelstorm of P2P.net fame at one time had 15 fucking accounts in UO, and I think they all had houses. And she wondered why paying her hosting bills was such a fucking problem. |

Wow, It took far less time than I thought for someone to mention Angelstorm's insane number of accounts.

It did answer the question asked quite well, though.
