A Japanese woman who took revenge on her ex by accessing his
account with on-line game Lineage and deleting virtual property is
facing charges of illegal access after the former boyfriend
reported her to the police, according to the Mainichi Daily
News.
The couple met in autumn 2003 while playing the multi-player
adventure game, which allows gamers to message each other and team
up. The virtual relationship became a reality, but did not last
long, says the report.
"I did it as revenge for breaking up with me," the unnamed woman
told police.
The virtual property lost in the game took time and skill to
acquire, not money.
