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.




Funny shit IMO.

Wow, how dumb can you be?

LOL. Nothing bad ever happens from the Internet. Didn't you know that!?

E-thugging is serious business.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

Remember the d2 days, voll? XD

I was one of the unnamed 3 assailants. I admit.

Thank the gods you didn't go in there for a snack, then. :rolleyes:

Rather amusing story. It'll definitiely learn him not to harass people and then give them his address. :p

Hillarious. There were times in D2 that I wished I could've done that. I'm a serious E-Gang Member. Fo sho.

I don't really think it's funny, it's just absolutely ridiculous/insane.

uh yea! I hope kaneda never got that far into it, yuck. Its pathetic ugh

Kaneda was too busy cybering with random female avatars to get into e-violence.

E thuggin for life.

"E-Bad Boy for Life."

In which way? The days where we griefed dueling games for hours on end or where I'd grief Cow Level games on my Necro who'd summon so many minions that he'd drop people from the game?

Both were hilarious as hell, in any case. :D

Fake story.

How do you grief D2 games? I thought they were passworded?

Still a ton of open games on battle net.

Smart people password their games, therefore most of Battle.net does not, simply by definition.

Also, most duel games were public. I built a nearly unkillable Paladin and we just curb-stomped game after game.
