July 18, 200916 yr Virtually Safe: Five real-life pitfalls of online worlds -- and some safer alternatives (RuneScape is the fifth example) Dutch Youths Convicted of Virtual Theft It's something to think about. I wasn't aware that the Dutch think of virtual goods in that way. In a way, taking advantage of bugs in the game then could actually be considered theft!

July 18, 200916 yr yeah we're crazy like that :twisted: but yeah... almost a year old news tbh There are three sides to every story: There's one side, there's the other, and there's the truth.
July 18, 200916 yr Author Yes, the referenced article is old, but not the first link, which is what the main idea is about. The new article is...well...new.

July 18, 200916 yr That seems a little harsh considering the victim was informed several times throughout Runescape to be careful of such things. It was his fault really. Don't hate the poster, hate the post Currently: Being Awesome.RSN: Magel0maniacPM me if you wish.

July 18, 200916 yr From what I heard, he was beat up and then threatened with a knife before finally giving up his account. It made the local newspaper and my dad banned me from RS :wall: (obviously I still play). Was about 18 months ago.

July 19, 200916 yr Coerced means forced to do something fyi, the victim was forced by the older boys to give them the (Fury and Black Mask?) goods, i.e. theft. its actually not so much forced, as tricked/persuaded into it. I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come

July 19, 200916 yr rofl it even came on the Dutch kids news... :wall: I'd be so ashamed when I was doing community service and someone would ask me why and I'd have to answer "I stole some stuff for a kid on RUNESCAPE" #-o Lode's Steel Smithing Guide!
