And I see a LOT of this attitude in EVE. I think everyone knows what I mean.

"Most troubling of all is Breivik's obsession with the multiplayer role-playing World of Warcraft, a violent online game that he played "full-time" between 2006 and 2007. Indeed, one of the few times that he smiled this week was when the image of his World of Warcraft character was displayed in court."

Sorry if this belongs in 'Out of Pod', but the relevance remains that the narcissism angle does indeed play in to 'certain behaviors' at Fanfest and after. Things CAN and DO go too far.

We go through this every time some jerk decides to kill a bunch of people. Even without WoW he would have done it anyway.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

12 million players +/- I'm quite sure there are more than that one who are disturbed, just like in Eve, but I guess they will not claim their criminal uberness, amirite?

I wonder what class his "toon" was, probably a Paladin. I mean, he was into the "Knights Templars".

**Edit**
Hmmm nope, it appears it's a Mage:

Praise the Lord that there aren't 12.000.000 people playing EVE.
There would be RL suicide ganking even in civilizated countries.

Rule No 1: there has always to be someone/something to blame on
Rule No 2: and its never the society or the family

I am getting sick of this crap journalism nowadays, they are calling WoW violent, SERIOUSLY???? Hopefully we will never see an EVE mass murder (I mean it, killing people in RL is not funny) but on the other side the probability of getting a EVE mass murder are rare because they just don't have the time:

- to busy fueling POS
- docked due to wardec
- gate camping
- CTA
- on the forums
- logged off and waiting on coms to jump that noob in a BC
- afk cloaking (you never know)

and most important and time intensive stuff in EVE

- moving stuff (might be personal, but it looks thats the only thing I am doing over the last months :)

Seriously, don't take me serious, I MEAN IT...seriously

I was going to kill my co-workers today, then another damn CTA came up. Honestly, Eve leaves no time for real life issues.

Anyway brb, I'm low on ISK so I'm going to buy some petrol and go suicide gank the post office.

I hear he also ate a lot of pickles.

Obviously there needs to be an investigation as the cause/effect link is clearly evident.

American statists (thought believed to be conservatives, really infest both ends of the political spectrum) might jump all over this. There's the so-called left who thinks we are all too dumb to survive and need a nanny state to protect us from everything, and there's the so-called right who thinks we are all too evil to survive and we need a police state to protect us from everything.

I don't know how they handle things in Norway, but in the US of Blame, there are people sitting behind desks every day looking for something to scare people who have kids with so they can get more votes and more money.


Still, as a gun owner, it would be nice to see all those who live in the dream world of MMOs have to put up with the "somebody somewhere did something bad so we have to pass more laws to control everybody" routine.

You see, back in the school days, when one kid pulled a prank, and they punished everybody, that as conditioning to make you ready to lose your rights when the wind-up toys do their thing.


So, to all those people whose corp, shiny ship, or alliance was THE most important thing in their lives while the world is being wrecked by banksters and eugenicists, take a good look at that article. The nanny and police statists will eventually get to something you care about, even if all you care about is playing games.

The very last thing I did in WOW before I left was hand over the guild to a noob. I logged in for the last time and found that everybody else transferred off the Medihv server, so I was guild master and alone.

But some noob wanted to start a guild, and I brought him in, put him in charge, and that was that.

The noob was totally stoked.

The name of the guild was "Knights Templar".

Could that noob have been..... oh no! What?

Was a time article on this...in it said... Doesnt mean much of anything at all.

I concur with that sentiment. It doesn't matter.

"World of Warcraft, a violent online game" lol

I wonder how many people who have killed another person ever watched The Godfather or Scarface etc? I bet every single one, when can we ban those movies? Also I miss the better debate we use to have 30 years ago about how hard rock music made people homicidal and such music should be banned forever. Punk was also the reason we had violence on the streets in the 80's right?

The only conclusion I can draw from this observation of him playing WoW for that much time is obvious to me, shame it is not as obvious to others.


PS: The Theater is to blame why we have bastards today walking the streets and why people make fun of the king.
