 | WaPo jumps in the virtual behavior frayJune 2nd, 2007 |
Alas, discussions of “muggings” in PvP areas of WoW seem a bit silly, to those in the know.

I’m calling the cops next time I get PKed to report my own murder.
Please.
And I don’t mean the absurdity about virtual muggings or virtual rape. I mean this:
More than 6 million people have registered with Second Life to create characters that can respond to keyboard commands.
Hah.
Oops, sorry guys.
Really.
And I don’t mean the part about “six million people”…
Oh, I’ll stop.
I’m such an ass.
Hey – There just doing their bit to keep up the image of the media as being clueless and completly out of touch. I just find it funny that people dont think their reporting of every thing from the economy to world events is likley to be any more accurate.
Hey research and fact checking is hard.
I figure they’re less accurate, actually.
Can you imagine the uproar in WoW if Blizzard let you corpse loot players you killed in PvP?
It would be UO all over again.
Only without the player villages to pillage, the bounties to exploit, and the fact that you could re-equip from scratch in an hour or two.
Touché. 
Oh God, 10X worse than UO considering the power differencials compared between the two. In UO I always knew I’d someday be able to cast the same spells and hit as often for as much damage…at some point… and despite the ‘ghosting’ down time. In WoW I simply couldn’t put up with it for as long as that would take.
Damn I miss the emotion and the “worldlyness” of UO in those days though. If only that stat loss thing…..
I couldn’t help but make a little comic out of this conversation.
I think the world would be a much better place if someone made a comic out of every conversation.
