WoW player meets real life

Bronco Carson, a World of Warcraft player from Mexico, reported to police on Saturday that three men broke into his home and beat his arms with clubs and totalled his computer. The reason? Carson had been repeatedly ganking the WoW character of the wife of one of his assailants.

Carson reportedly told police that he had been "making it hard for her to get far in the game." The woman had already threatened Carson online, and Carson said that he had already been constantly harassed in-game two weeks prior to the attack.

And then Carson made the mistake of giving the woman his address, telling the woman that "if her husband was man enough to just come meet me to settle this."

The result? Carson got two broken fingers and a fractured wrist during the assault. His computer and entertainment center were also totalled by his three attackers before they left. "I knew that I might be messed with in the game but I didn't really expect her husband to come looking for me," said Carson. "I couldn't have been more wrong."

Now let this be a lesson to everybody. Taunting people behind the relative safety of the Internet may be fun, but don't be stupid enough to give out your real home address. If you do, then it's a whole new ballgame.

 So people dont be that stupid too. ROFL

If only this stuff happened more often, then the internet would be a much more civilized place. If I could lay a beat-down to every spam email-sending jerk...PikaPichu

NOOB!

...joking, i love you :oops: 

HAHAHAHA wow are people becoming more and more pathetic, honestly wtf is going on here.. First we had a woman sell her body for ingame money, now we have THIS.. sSubZerOo

Well with 8 million players world wide, the chances for attracting crazy people is pretty high.  It's like a HUGE city, consider New York city and how many crazies live there. 

And which is more pathetic?  Selling your body in game money, or selling it for crack?  It all seems insane and pathetic.  People are nuts man :P

Thats not what I am saying, I am just pointing out that there are crazy people out there, and with a game that has 8 million people, it's no surprise that things like this happen :P

Indeed, such big worlds must have conflicts. Looking forward to the following WoW related news item :D

YOu know what they say, you mess with one bean you get the whole burrito.

I wonder if the attacking troupe identified themselves as "Level 36 Zimorga" and "Level 28 ZooZaa" before dishing out the biff.

They probably even got his Epic Blue Jeans and T-Shirt from his wardrobe, not to mention the Kitchen Knife of Butchery that was in the dishwasher.

Better to look for a RAID party! He drops more T6 pieces than you get on Black Temple. However I feel a bit pitty for him but he deserved it!  

SO he deserved to have the **** beat out of him bones broken and all his stuff destroyed for being an ass online? Wow you guys sure are harsh on the judgement. I wonder what a jury would think if i beat the $hit out of some little 15 year old punk cause he was acting tough in WoW, I'm guessing they wouldn't think it was well deserved. Yeah people can be **** in games, and they probably deserve to have their internet cut off or computer destroyed, but they don't deserve to be physically beaten and their bones broken. You guys need to get a grip on reality beating the crap out of people isn't the solution for everything.vash-ht

For me it's not a matter of the fact that it's a game, it's a matter of the fact that he invited them over to beat the crap out of them. And that he gave his address too. Acting surprised than is like jumping into the tiger pit at the zoo with steaks in your pocket and acting surprised when you get mauled. Like i said, he was litterally asking for it. He simply got his (unintentional) wish. I just can't bring myself to feel bad for the dumb s***.

  Yeah it was stupid for him to give the address.. BUT COME ON do we all have the mentalities of 5 year olds, must we physically HURT people who upset us over a VIDEO GAME, a fictious WORLD.  I am shocked that people all said that he deserved it, I guess I should start punching people in the head eveyr time I lose in a game they are beating me at..

No, just the ones that are screwing with your progress in the game (ie totally ruining your enjoyment of something that you're paying for) just for their own sick pleasure and harassing you about it all the while.

  Who cares, its a GAME..  To resort to physical violence is both immature not to mention stupid..  Now the guy has pressed charges, and most likely sued on top of that..  More or less that will be keeping your FAR more away from WoW then anything else..  If people can't handle jerks then people need to toughen up and actually stop being puss's..    Its a PART of the game, you payed for that risk, if people are gonna be crying about this then join a PVE server.. 

Broken fingers and wrist? Totally deserved that, shouldn't have been an ass, trying to make the game more difficult for others.

 Totalled computer and stuff? Nuh uh. Those things cost a lot of money. They should have just wrecked his hands and be done with it.

Dee Dee Dee ^^ How you feeling now, stupid?

that is simply wonderful to hear. The amoutn of times ive wanted to belt somebody online is amazing and seeing somebody get what they deserve for being a **** is just so refreshing.ForlornHope

Wait, what? You support some stupid piece of sh*t getting so worked up about a game they get someone beaten up? The retard in this tale is the woman who lets some stupid MMO affect their sad lives so much. 

Man you suck. 

Keke I love this. Seriously, most n00bs just whine about their sucky situation at the realmforums, nice to see this taken to the next level.

Get over yourself nabster.

I find this WAY funnier than I probably should.
